Council gives final go ahead to EU talent platform for non-EU jobseekers

On March 2026, the Council gave the final greenlight to a regulation establishing an EU talent pool, a new platform that will connect non-EU jobseekers with employers in the EU.

This EU digital platform will facilitate international recruitment in sectors where EU member states face labour shortages by matching job vacancies with the profiles of non-EU jobseekers living outside of the EU.

Open to non-EU jobseekers with relevant skills, the platform will provide clear information on the recruitment process and inform candidates of their rights, in particular with regard to fair recruitment and decent working conditions. It also includes safeguards to prevent labour exploitation.
