About the map & data sources
This map uses Eurostat migration flows and EU job-vacancy rates: context for where to look, rather than evidence of availability for your role.
Blue → into the EU · teal → out of the EU (2024) · amber → EU vacancy pressure (Q2 2026).
Selected country-to-country migration corridors. Pulse direction shows the reported direction; line width scales with recorded counts. Pulses are a visual representation, not live movement. These are changes of usual residence for all migration reasons, not recruitment placements or exact travel paths.
Eurostat immigration data · Eurostat emigration data · Reference year 2024. e: estimated; p: provisional; b: break in series. No missing values are replaced with invented flows.

Amber outlines show the highest job vacancy rates among EU members with comparable data in Q2 2026: Netherlands 4.1% · Belgium 3.3% · Malta 3.1% · Austria 2.9%. Vacancy rates indicate unfilled demand, not a direct shortage ranking. Eurostat source and coverage notes.
You need people who fit the work—and a plan to get them started.
An open role can leave your team covering shifts, waiting on a project or reviewing applications that miss the mark. We help you widen the search, assess candidates against the work and prepare the steps behind an international hire.
Roles we focus on: skilled trades, professional driving, hospitality and industrial work—including electricians, welders, truck and bus drivers, cooks, chefs, CNC operators and maintenance technicians.
Hiring for a different role? Tell us the requirement. We’ll discuss how our support fits your search.
When the local search comes up short
Find candidates beyond your local market
Review the role, pay and location together, distinguish essential skills from preferences, and agree where to reach suitable candidates internationally.
When reviewing CVs isn’t enough
Screen for the work you need done
Give screening clear criteria: the experience, skills and language needed for the job. Bring relevant evidence and unanswered questions into your hiring decision.
When an accepted offer is only the beginning
Prepare the steps behind the start date
Coordinate the agreed document, permit and qualification work alongside your hiring process. Give each action an owner so your team and the candidate know what happens next.
Keep your team. Add support where it helps.
Already working with an internal recruiter or an agency? We can agree a defined part of the work—sourcing, screening or mobility coordination—alongside your existing process. You retain the hiring decision.
Start with the vacancy that is holding you back.
Suppose local advertising hasn’t brought the people you need. Before widening the search, we work through the job, the terms and what candidates need to bring. That gives sourcing and screening a clear brief.
Agree what screening must establish
Set the skills evidence and language criteria, then identify the qualification and right-to-work checks relevant to each candidate.
Prepare for the move to work
Identify the document and permit actions, who owns them and what affects timing. Keep those actions connected to interviews, offers and your planned start.
