Job portal for Ukrainian refugees
Tööportaal Ukraina põgenikele
Background information
Due to the war in Ukraine more than 20,000 refugees have come to Estonia to stay here temporarily or permanently. To ease the process of Ukrainian refugees finding a job and Estonian employers finding employees, the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund has set up a new job offers portal where employers can post their vacancies suitable for the refugees.
Content of measure
The Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund published a specific web page for companies to publish their jobs for the Ukrainian war refugees. This will allow refugees to find suitable jobs during their temporary or permanent stay in Estonia and facilitate the process for the refugees by gathering all jobs suitable for them to one place. Through the webpage, persons can contact those companies, ask additional questions and apply for the jobs. The service is free of charge to use for all. The offers vary greatly and include for example jobs for maintenance workers, waiters, couriers as well as purchasing managers, IT specialists and accountants.
Updates
The following updates to this measure have been made after it came into effect.

In February 2023, the website appears inactive and features only a link to Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund web portal, instructing job-seeking visitors to use this instead. A news article published in July 2022 mentioned that by mid-July, most job offers on OnlineExpo were also available on Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund web portal. An update to the Unemployment Insurance Fund web portal includes Ukrainian language option for job offers portal and allow employers to indicate in job offers that a job is suitable for refugees.

On 17 May 2022, there are 647 job offers in the portal. No information about the number of jobs accepted by the refugees is available.
