LOOKING FOR A JOB IN BRATISLAVA?

Even if Bratislava is much smaller than majority of European capitals, it offers a generous portfolio of job opportunities for non-Slovak speakers. If you speak English fluently and in an ideal case have another interesting second language, specialize in IT or are a native English speaker with teaching experience, your chances are pretty high! There are of course jobs for other profiles, too. Where to check available job postings? Here are a couple of tips for those who are looking for a job in Bratislava!

CAREER PORTALS

  • Profesia.sk – the largest job directory in Slovakia and most user- and foreigner-friendly.
  • Internationals Bratislava – the organization Internationals Bratislava runs a project “Non Slovak speaking jobs in Slovakia.” Its aim is to create the biggest and clear database of international positions in Slovakia. They provide guidance for job-hunting individuals whilst cooperating with corporations, helping them find suitable candidates. They are not a hiring agency and this project is run purely on voluntary donations and voluntary work.
  • Kariera.sk – a job section of the popular Slovak portal zoznam.sk
  • Praca.sme.sk – a job section of the Slovak news portal SME
  • Volnemiesta.pravda.sk – a job section of the Slovak news portal PRAVDA
  • Ponuky.sk – somewhat cluttered interface and less used  

PERSONNEL AGENCIES

You can also share your CV with one of the agencies to match your profile with a suitable job opening. Below is a list of a few options operating on the Slovak job market:

FACEBOOK GROUPS

Social networks can help you in your job search as well. There are several Facebook groups for foreigners – they do not necessarily focus on the job search but employees of international companies post free vacancies from time to time there. Or you can use them to ask about job opportunities through a post:

There are also some Facebook groups focused on the job search, unfortunately mostly in Slovak:

  1. I am from Canada and Would like to Find Employment in Bratislava or Prague as soon as flight restrictions are lifted. I will need help to so. Please assist

    • Hi Larry, in my opinion, you should start looking for a job for large international corporations ( where is many people without speaking slovak language) – like Amazon, Swiss Re, Henkel, IBM, PwC, DELL, Next Level Pharma (my Ex worked there and they were very helpful with visa(work permit) process as well), Manpower, Siemens,….
      Also IOM (Migration Information Centre) provided many useful information and guidance when it came to foreign police and work permit..

  2. I have recently come to live in Bratislava from the UK but only speak english. I am looking to learn Slovak but need a job somewhere in the city to start with. My wife is Slovak and works here.

Can Anyone help or advise?
