How to find a job
There are different ways to seek job in Poland. First of all submitting a CV and letter of motivation to chosen employers.
Here below other ways:
- through the District Employment Offices (powiatowy urząd pracy), which promotes job adverts in the Central Job Offers Database (Centralna Baza Ofert Pracy). To have access to all job adverts held by a District Employment Office, it is necessary to register with the Office as an unemployed person or a job seeker.
Voluntary Labour Corps (Ochotnicze Hufce Pracy), which provides recruitment services mainly to the youth, and its job adverts may be found in the Job Placement (Pośrednictwo pracy) Database and the Central Job Offers Database.
Employment agencies, which provide job placement services and which recruit personnel on behalf of employers. In order to operate legally in Poland, employment agencies must obtain a certificate which confirms that they have been entered into the Register of Employment Agencies by the Marshal of the Province of the agency’s registered office. A list of certified agencies is available on the Register of Employment Agencies website.
Internet portals run by entities which provide job placement services only by storing and making available information about job adverts online in the form of electronic documents. These entities are not required to register as an employment agency.
Polish employers and employment agencies publish job adverts in the press, the Internet or in their premises, as well as by other means of communication e.g. social media.
Most daily newspapers, both nationwide and local, have special columns with job adverts.
