From 1 July 2018 employers must register with the regional employment centres (RAV) vacancies in occupations where the unemployment rate has reached or exceeded 8% (REM: 5% from 01.01.2020).

Employers must also register with the RAV vacancies in occupations where recruitment is carried out through an intermediary: employment agencies, headhunters or temporary recruitment agencies.

Jobs that must be registered are subject to a publication ban of five working days after RAV registration process. The employer may only make public the vacancy after the end of this period.
