To take part in TMS, employers with recruitment needs must first contact a EURES Adviser/Public Employment Officer to receive recruitment mobility services containing:
- help to publish vacancies on the EURES portal and other job portals
- matching of suitable candidates from an EU country, Norway, or Iceland,
- information and advice on what to think about before employing from an EU country, Norway, or Iceland.
If a recruitment cooperation is established with EURES/Public Employment Services, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may apply for financial support when offering post-placement support to their newly recruited candidate(s).
The financial support for an integration programme is a contribution towards the costs for:
- job-related training
- language training to improve command of host country language
- administrative and settlement support to facilitate the integration of the newly recruited candidate(s) in the new country
The financial support is a flat rate per recruited candidate varying according to type of integration programme (basic or comprehensive) and country where the company is located. The financial support varies from EUR 810-2 000 per recruited candidate.
