Given Greece’s tumultuous economic standing, having a solid income is vital. That’s why if you are an employer looking to take advantage of the country’s robust workforce and steadily climbing GDP, it would be very beneficial to have a well-structured job site that offers convenience and consistency to help you find qualified job candidates.
In fact, for business owners in Greece, there is never a bad time to begin sourcing qualified talent for your company. In this article, we’ll show you the best job sites in the country––and how you can use them to your advantage when hiring.
The 12 Best Job Posting Websites in Greece
When it comes to hiring in Greece, GrabJobs is the country’s largest and best online job search website––bar none.
Whether looking to fill vacancies at the local level or in Athens’ largest corporations––there are thousands of companies using the platform at any given time––GrabJobs provides employers with many great advantages, including cost-effective recruitment solutions that go above and beyond.
In-person, full-time, part-time, remote, entry-level, internships, fresh grads: the audiences that employers can reach with GrabJobs is truly endless. Best of all, users can apply for jobs fast, without a CV, schedule interviews via chat, and receive personalized job recommendations and employer responses. Job posters can start by creating a free account and determining the best pricing option suitable to their individual needs.
- Features hiring tools for employers, including talent acquisition and job posting; candidate screening; interview scheduling; and recruitment analytics
- Allows employers to post jobs on multiple platforms for greater visibility
Skywalker is one of the country’s most popular and trusted job portals for employers and job seekers alike. Since 1999, this digital job board (the first in Greece) has been a go-to platform. Today, it attracts roughly 300,000 visits per month and hosts over 10,000 job ads at any given time––some of which are in English.
In terms of the benefits of posting with Skywalker to fill job vacancies, there are multiple subscription packages available, however, you will have to reach out to the customer service team for specifics on pricing.
- In general, the cost of posting a basic 30-day ad listing is €145 + VAT.
Aside from the costs, there are a few additional drawbacks, including:
- An outdated user design that some may find challenging to use.
- A number of customer service issues in that you must contact the Skywalker team directly by phone when using any type of service.
- Job postings in English represent only about a quarter of all ads, so employers looking for English-speaking candidates, or who work with international markets, can expect limitations.
- There is no free trial option with Skywalker.
AggeliesErgasias is a popular option in Greece, likely because of the affordability and efficiency of the site. A major benefit to AggeliesErgasias is how long job listings remain posted on the platform, with each ad lasting 40 days––it also gets promoted via various channels including Facebook and other job aggregators.
- Employers looking to hire foreign job seekers should know that AggeliesErgasias does not have a robust English-speaking audience. In fact, the entire website is in Greek.
- Pricing for AggeliesErgasiasis is one of the more reasonable among local job portals, with each ad costing €25 + VAT to post. And multiples posts come with discounted offers (i.e. 10 ads for €200 + VAT and 30 ads for €450 + VAT). Best of all, employers remain completely in control of the number of CVs received regardless of how many ads they’ve posted.
- There is no free trial option with AggeliesErgasias.
Another useful job site in Greece is Kariera, which features thousands of job ads and receives hundreds of thousands of monthly visits from prospective candidates. Despite its popularity with native speakers, there is also a dedicated English-language portal for employers looking to source remote workers and appeal to international stakeholders.
- When considering creating an account and posting an ad, there are 3 ad type options: Standard, Branded, and Premium.
Standard ads cost €190 + VAT
Branded ads cost €290 + VAT
Premium ads cost €480 + VAT
While the costs may be on the higher side, all ad type options give employers access to application management tools. The Premium options allow you to hide competitive ads, providing a more elevated and exclusive search experience for job seekers.
- Employers can also make a separate purchase to gain access to the site’s extensive resume database (up to 300 CVs per day). Monthly access fees are as follows:
1-month access: €400 + VAT
3-month access: €1050 + VAT
12-month access: €3,000 + VAT
- While a popular option for employers in Greece, Kariera does not include a free trial option.
Unlike many of Greece’s other best job sites, Jobfind is extremely accommodating to employers looking to hire international employees. It also happens to have one of the simplest, most user-friendly sign-up journeys. When posting your first job, your company information will simultaneously be uploaded to the site, following a rigorous internal review process. After that, you can continue to post additional jobs in much less time and with less hassle.
- Ads are active for 30 days and are priced according to quantity:
1 ad costs €125 + VAT
5 ads cost €100 + VAT
10 ads cost €150 + VAT
- There is also a premium account package that includes great employer perks like email notifications whenever a candidate applies for a job, resume lists, and ad promotions for all registered Jobfind users.
- Discounted ad options are available.

Jooble offers free job posting, not to mention an unlimited number of ads, and durations. There are premium publication options available for employers looking for a more selective audience for €25. Additionally, premium subscribers receive job alerts, and candidate flow management and employers are only charged for targeted visits.

This global job search engine portal is very popular in Greece as it connects employers with local talent, as well as those living and working remotely abroad. The global reach of CareerJet (available in over 20 countries around the world) makes it a must for companies looking to source qualified candidates from Athens to Amsterdam to Australia and beyond.
With one simple sign-up, employers from every sector can post an ad and begin receiving resumes in no time thanks to the site’s use of targeted ads that are featured throughout the CareerJet database, but also among dozens of other local and international job aggregator sites. CareerJet is truly an international employer’s best friend.

Even in Greece, LinkedIn is more than just a useful tool for networking and career building. It’s an incredibly handy platform and search tool for employers looking to source talent.
Not only do candidates get to review job descriptions posted by employers, but they can also see if any of their personal or professional contacts are in any way connected to you––this builds an inherent level of trust that is unique to LinkedIn, which operates with a social media sensibility.
LinkedIn users in Greece can post jobs simply and effectively by advertising vacancies in their user feed, or, for a fee, they can target job seekers based on industry, qualification, education, and so on.
- Users can easily reach target markets
- Share job opportunities
- Promote your business
- Build equity in your brand
Indeed is a go-to job search portal for many employers in Greece thanks to the versatility of the platform, as well as the wide reach of candidates. However, for businesses looking to keep things simple, there are better options out there.
Simply put, Indeed is a massively popular global job search portal and, as such, employers in Greece can expect the strongest and most qualified range of candidates to inquire. However, one element working against Indeed’s reach is volume. If you are looking to fill one or two vacancies, the talent pool can be so heavy that too many candidates are trying to apply. You might think that there is no such thing as having too many qualified candidates, but if you are looking to interview and hire quickly, there is definitely a lot to weed through.
- Ideal for employers looking to hire often (as opposed to one-off jobs)
- Pricing structure offers services and benefits commensurate with employer needs
- Arguably one of the largest global audiences available––might not be ideal for local businesses hoping to hire in Greece only
And depending on the pricing option you go with––Indeed has both free and paid tiers––it might not be the best value for your spend.
According to its own website, “3 out of 4 users are more likely to apply to an open job if the employer is active on Glassdoor”. So for employers looking for trusted candidates to fill their positions, Glassdoor is a brand worth investing in.
As a globally recognized site for employer information, Glassdoor has a lot to offer companies in Greece––whether big or small. At Glassdoor, the employer experience is all about making your brand look as good as possible to potential job seekers and then curating a job posting experience that is easy for you, and convenient for candidates.
There is a basic package that is, frankly, more than enough to get started. And a paid tier (prices available upon request) that offers advanced employer insights and branded content.
- Worldwide recognition and trust
- Comprehensive pay-tiered packages for more relevant searches
- Curated and tailored job ads
Headquartered in Thessaloniki, Cosmos Jobs has been pairing employers and employees in Greece since 1997. Boasting a success rate of 99%, the search portal––which also operates as a dedicated employment agency––lets employers post jobs once they have entered their company details, as well as the details of the available position(s). Then, a member of staff reaches out to help complete the rest of the setup.
There is no registration required, and users can post an unlimited number of ads and keep them active for an unlimited amount of time.
- Free ads

- A large audience of job candidates
- Efficient recruitment tools
- Seamless website
- Excellent customer service
- Because Randstad is so globally recognized––and a large employer itself––prices can same inflated or overvalued
