Private Employment Counsellor Offices

The operation of Private Employment Counsellor Offices was introduced with the passing of Law 2639/95 (art. 5) and latter amended by Law 2874/2000. These offices are accountable to the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs where the private counsellors apply for the required license to establish and operate. The services provided in these offices are free of charge, since the revenues of these establishments come from the employers’ side.
Many of these offices have an Internet presence with significant information about the labour market and employment opportunities. Visitors to the websites of these offices may submit their Resume in electronic form.
