Looking for workers? Prepare a clear request

A practical checklist employers can prepare before the first discussion about their workforce needs.

A precise description makes the first conversation more useful and gives candidates a realistic picture of the role. Before sending a request, gather the essential details about the work, conditions and intended starting date.

Start with the actual tasks

Name the role and explain what the worker will do on a typical day. Separate essential skills from those that can be learned at work. If a language level, experience or certificate is important, explain why it is needed.

Prepare an overview of conditions

  • The number of workers and work location.
  • Daily responsibilities and required qualifications.
  • Expected working hours and shifts.
  • The pay range and how conditions will be explained to candidates.
  • Accommodation or transport information, if offered.
  • The intended start and approximate duration of the engagement.

Choose a contact person

It helps to have one contact who can confirm the details, answer questions and arrange a direct conversation with candidates. Communicate changes to numbers, dates or conditions promptly.

Agree how introductions will work

JobScoutEU clarifies the requirements and helps establish contact with interested candidates from outside the EU. The employer conducts conversations, assesses candidates and decides on employment. The scope of cooperation and next steps are agreed individually.

Start with the Find workers form. A clear request makes it easier for both parties to align their expectations.
