You can register on the platform and a project Adviser will support you. 

Note that, if you have already signed the contract, the following must be considered: 

– priority should always be given to candidates registered with EURES TMS projects before receiving a work placement offer, and where matching and recruitment between job seeker and employer took place through the project.

– the EURES TMS Team may nevertheless accept to grant placements from other sources on condition that the necessary quality check rules apply, and they take full control of the placement process. The project Adviser/Team shall assess each situation on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the conditions for claiming funding have been fulfilled.

All legally established businesses can participate. Placement with European institutions and bodies, and other international policy, economic, social, and scientific organisations as well as supra-national regulatory bodies and their agencies is ineligible. These criteria will apply inter alia to EEA networks, platforms, lobbies, or other similar organisations when their budget resources depend exclusively or mainly on EU funding.

EEA networks, platforms, lobbies, or other similar organisations funded mainly or exclusively with EU funds cannot recruit through the project. If, on the other hand, EU funds are not predominant in your annual budget you can certainly participate.

The no-profit principle means that the purpose or effect of grants (financial benefits) cannot be to generate profit from the action The involvement in the project of Employment Services acting as employers (including EURES public and private members/partners) must comply with the rules stated in the official EURES TMS guidelines and in the relevant Call for proposal.

Large-sized companies and other organisations which do not fall within the definition of SMEs (small and medium enterprises) as well as employment services acting as employers, (e.g. temporary work agencies, recruitment agencies, etc., irrespective of the size of the organisations) can participate in the EURES TMS project as potential employers, but without any TMS financial support.

If temporary work agencies and recruitment agencies acting as employer – SME provide evidence that in their business they do not offer any integration and mentoring services, they can take part in the EURES TMS project and benefit from funding support.

You must invite him/her through the platform. If it is an onsite interview, there is a financial contribution that varies according to the days spent in the city where the interview is held and the distance. To offer this benefit to the candidate, it is necessary to fill in the Job Interview invitation form available in your dashboard.

Yes, the project offers a financial support to cover the costs of a training programme both for candidates recruited through the project and existing SME workers in need of specialised training to fill skills gaps and address labour shortages.

NB: Under no circumstances this financial support can be claimed for existing SME workers only.

The training programme cost per candidate is capped at 1.500,00 EUR.

The project provides you with a financial support for the training that you might offer to the new recruited participants in the project and, eventually, existing SME workers. There are no specific duration requirements, however you have to offer a realistic training plan to achieve the participants expected learning outcomes. 

The maximum amount for financial support for training programme cost per candidate is capped at EUR 1.500,00. 

To be eligible for the financial contribution provided by the EURES TMS, any training programme offered to newly recruited participants must:

– have started, be carried out and completed within the duration of the action

– comply with the principle of sound financial management, regarding economy and efficiency

– have at least started when claiming the financial support.

Both in-company and/or external training may be accepted.

The difference depends on to the number of training modules foreseen by the programme:

1. the basic introduction training includes only one learning component, as job-related training or a language course without administrative or settlement facilitation
2. the comprehensive induction training consists of the provision of at least one training module (e.g. language courses, training visits, mentoring, technical and professional training), combined with administrative support and settlement facilitation

It is not possible to delegate an agency to sign the application form required to obtain a benefit, but you can appoint one of your employees as a signing delegate and project contact person. Remember to fill in the “delegation form” available in your dashboard and upload it to the platform.

No, you cannot delegate a project Adviser to sign application forms. You can delegate your Adviser only to carry out the platform procedures related to the selection of jobseekers, through the dedicated function in your dashboard.

To delegate the Adviser, you need to open the “associated Advisers” box in your dashboard, tick the name of your Adviser, then click on “assign delegation”. From this moment on, you project Adviser will be enabled to operate on your behalf in the platform. Remember that you cannot delegate your Adviser to sign applications for financial support.

Any SME recruiting mobile workforce in the framework of EURES TMS project, over a period of one fiscal / calendar year, and providing them with at least basic induction training, is entitled to get financial support equivalent to the number of employees, trainees, or apprentices actually placed up to the threshold of EUR 30 000 per year.
