The foreign worker recruitment portal is set to reopen by mid-November, with the list of shortage occupations expanding to nearly 400. The Ministry of Labor and the Employers' Association of Labor Importers (PIFM) have reached an agreement to modify recruitment procedures. This includes issuing two ministerial orders to update the methodology for defining shortage occupations and to introduce the new list. The portal's downtime has hindered employers reliant on non-EU labor, causing delays and additional costs. PIFM emphasizes that the expanded list will provide employers with more recruitment options, addressing labor shortages in various sectors. However, they continue to seek further legislative changes regarding recruitment regulations.
