Add to the Directorate of Labour's register of available jobs

Employers can register vacancies and reach out to a group of job seekers in Iceland and in Europe.

Conditions

• Pay for the job must be according to collective agreements.

• The job must be registered on the company ID number. If not, consultants need to check whether the company is operated on the ID number of the individual who was registered for the job.

The Directorate of Labour has the power to refuse a company service when the agency receives information that the company’s operations need to be examined further.

Publication of jobs

You can choose to:

• Apply for jobs on the Directorate of Labour's My pages. Individuals on the unemployment register apply directly for jobs there.

• Apply for jobs in the Directorate of Labor area on Ísland.is. All can apply for the jobs.

• Job advertisements on the European e-commerce portal. The job advertisement is branded and translated into English.

Job registration

The Directorate of Labour's consultants review the job description that the employer puts in. If any information is missing or a text needs to be adapted, the consultant contacts the Directorate of Labour. Communication between the Directorate of Labour's consultants and employers is on the communication channel on My employers pages.

Mandates to employees

Employers can give their employees permission to access my pages.

Advice

Employers can contact their employment counsellors when the application deadline has passed. Employment counsellors can assist you with the employment process, but the Directorate of Labour is not involved in the implementation or organization of job interviews.

Activity in the pursuit of employment

Individuals on the unemployment register have certain obligations. Among them are to attend scheduled job interviews and answer telephone calls from the employer.

By registering a job, employers agree to simply mark on My pages whether the applicant has attended or not, or whether it was easy to reach the person by phone. It is important to make this registration thorough, as there is a great interest in it for job seekers.

All over the country

Aid for employment is available all over the country, for all.
