Search for a job safely and fast through the EURES portal

The European employment services (EURES) is a European cooperation network between the European Commission, the European Labour Authority (ELA), national public employment services and other Members and Partners in Europe.

There are nearly 4 million job vacancies on the EURES portal and employers can search for candidates through a CV database. Around 1 000 EURES Advisers, working in the EURES Member and Partner organisations, are providing support prior, during and after the recruitment process.

Disclosing your personal information

As a jobseeker you can create your CV, highlight your experience and preferences. You can choose not to disclose any personal data on your profile, i.e. your phone number, email address, address, name of previous employers and even your photo and name.

Your published anonymised CV will be accessible to trusted EURES Advisers (dedicated personnel working in the EURES Member and Partner organisations), as well as to a selection of carefully validated and registered employers. If they want to get in touch with you, they can do so through the EURES portal; employers will not have access to your email address.

How to register on the EURES portal

Registering on the EURES portal only takes a few minutes. Follow these steps:

First you create an EU Login account, then secure this by implementing a Two-Factor Authentication, e.g. via SMS on your mobile phone or the EU Login mobile app. Setting up your EU Login is a mandatory step, which increases the security of your account and data in the EURES portal.

Afterwards, create your EURES jobseeker account and publish your CV and profile. This will make it available to registered employers across the EU.
