The Talent Hub for Austrian companies

The Talent Hub is the WORK in AUSTRIA platform for Austrian companies and international talents to meet. Austrian companies can introduce themselves for free on the Talent Hub, publish their job adverts and connect with suitable skilled workers. If suitable candidates are found, WORK in AUSTRIA provides further support with questions regarding the employment of foreign nationals and issues related to relocation as well as living and working in Austria.  

The Talent Hub is aimed at the following international talents:  

•  Qualified professionals from abroad (EU, EEA and third-country nationals),  
• international students at Austrian universities and  
• Austrian expats and their partners   

WORK in AUSTRIA specifically draws their attention to the Talent Hub at events, career fairs at universities and educational institutions in our target countries and in Austria, as well as through digital marketing.   

Companies are invited to register and create their own free account. Access to the company's user profile or account can be opened to several employees. This enables a targeted search for skilled workers’ profiles and each co-user can create their own search and candidates' preferences.  

The company account offers the following possibilities: 

• Presentation of the company and creation of a company's profile  
• Publication of job adverts  
• Display of suitable skilled workers' profiles with the qualifications you are looking for 
• Search in the pool of published skilled workers’ profiles according to the criteria of the ESCO classification system 
• Saving interesting skilled workers’ profiles in the company's own user account notebook 
• Information about how many professionals are interested in the job adverts and company's profile  
• Contacting international talents via the Talent Hub message centre  

It is up to you which functions you want to use on the Talent Hub. The Talent Hub allows you to change your password or delete your company's account at any time.   

Your job adverts on the Talent Hub   

• are publicly accessible and can be found by any interested international talent. Each job advert also introduces the company and refers to other jobs in the company currently available.
• by clicking on the ‘Apply directly’ button, international professionals can contact the company directly by e-mail or via the internal application portal, depending on the chosen setting. 
• Job adverts can be published in German and English. International talents can use a Google Translate plugin to automatically translate job adverts and companies' profiles into their preferred languages.   
• a Google Maps plugin immediately shows international talents where the job is located.
• job adverts can also be automatically imported into the Talent Hub via an API interface. This is a particularly relevant option if the company wants to publish a large number of vacancies in a specific timeframe.    

The ‘match’ between a job advert and the international talent’s qualifications is based on the ESCO taxonomy (ESCO = ‘European Skills, Competences and Occupations’). The special feature of ESCO is the international and multilingual definition of required skills, competences and qualifications, which are necessary for most professions worldwide and thus also allow skilled workers from other countries and with other types of trainings/education to match with Austrian jobs and their requirements.
