    Select your job sector and occupation to find relevant job portals.
    Employment Notice Job listings, eligibility rules, work-permit requirements and employer recruitment policies can change. Being listed here does not mean that a vacancy offers visa sponsorship or that an applicant is eligible to work in that country. Always check the individual vacancy and the relevant official requirements. Coverage is deepest for larger job markets; for a few very small states no independent national job portal exists, so only broad European and international sources are shown.

    Working in Europe

    Every country has its own rules on work permits, visa sponsorship, and eligibility — being listed on a job portal doesn’t guarantee a vacancy offers sponsorship. Read our full guide: How to Get a Work Visa in Europe.

    FAQ Section

    Do I need a work visa to apply through these portals?
    It depends on your nationality and the country. EU/EEA and Swiss citizens generally have free movement to work anywhere in the EU/EEA/Switzerland. Non-EU citizens typically need a work permit or visa sponsored by an employer. Always check the specific vacancy and read our work visa guide before applying.

    Are these job portals free to use?
    Yes. Every portal listed — government employment services, EURES, and job search engines — is free for jobseekers to search and apply.

    Which European countries are easiest to find work in?
    Countries with active skilled-worker and seasonal-labour shortages — Germany, the Netherlands, and several Nordic and Eastern European countries — tend to have more international-recruitment-focused portals. Check our current job openings for countries actively hiring right now.

    What’s the difference between EURES and a national job portal?
    EURES is the European Commission’s official EU-wide job mobility portal, covering vacancies across all EU/EEA countries and Switzerland in one place. A national job portal (like Germany’s Bundesagentur für Arbeit or France’s France Travail) is run by that country’s own public employment service.

    Can I use this tool if I don’t speak the local language?
    Yes. Many portals offer English interfaces, and this tool provides local-language search terms for supported occupations so you can search effectively even on portals that are local-language only.
