EURES, the European jobs network, provides job-matching and recruitment services to all European Economic Area (EEA) countries ( 3 ), plus Switzerland. It helps jobseekers and job changers get to where the jobs are, and it opens up to employers a wider pool of candidates with the skills they need to develop their businesses. All EURES services for jobseekers and workers are provided free of charge.
EURES has a network of partners, including public employment services, and this network is being extended to include many more recruitment actors in your home country, such as private recruitment agencies. More information can be found on the EURES job mobility portal.
EURES' services are comprehensive and available to all European jobseekers - before, during and after their job search. They address every aspect of living and working abroad, from providing career guidance, reviewing and translating CVs, analysing offers and facilitating video-conferencing for interviews, to providing information on the European labour market, giving legal and social security advice, organising job fairs and advising on training opportunities, language learning and funding opportunities.
The EURES portal hosts more than one million job vacancies from 32 countries in Europe, almost as many CVs and thousands of registered employers. It offers you tools to:
• create a profile allowing you to tag interesting sectors or countries and receive e-mail notifications of relevant job vacancies;
• build and maintain a CV in one or several language versions - and post it online, so it is visible to the 30 000 employers registered on the portal;
• search for information on living and working in your country of choice;
• search for European Job Days and other recruitment events in your region; and
• connect with other jobseekers and exchange tips on job hunting and living and working abroad.
EURES Advisers - and other recruitment professionals in the EURES network - can be contacted for information and advice at any stage of your job search and moving process. With specialised expertise in the practical, legal and administrative aspects of European labour mobility, they can:
• recommend interesting opportunities based on your profile - and even seek to match your profile with a suitable employer in another European country;
• assist you with your job application and pass on your CV to potential employers;
• give you information on the living and working conditions in your country of destination; and
• help you get started in your new country by providing information on accommodation, social security and taxes, and on schools and healthcare for your family, if relevant.
'We support hundreds of cross-border workers on a daily basis with questions like: Where do I pay my taxes? Where can I claim child benefits? Can I use the health service? This helps make the transition easier for mobile workers moving to another country.'

'Concentrix has worked with EURES for a number of years, and the partnership is key to our recruitment success. We advertise throughout the EURES network, have worked to build and sustain relationships with individual Advisers around Europe, and regularly attend EURES recruitment events in various countries. Owing to our high recruitment needs and varied language requirements, using the EURES portal and network of advisers for in-country advertising is crucial. The level of service is invaluable - as is the local knowledge and advice.'
