Romanian authorities will tighten regulations to better protect Romanians looking for a job abroad

Romanian authorities will soon bring new modifications to Law 156/2000, which aims to ensure the protection of Romanians who are seeking a job abroad. The law is targeting private labor recruitment agencies that are recruiting staff for other countries.

“We want to strengthen restrictions so that Romanians are better protected from certain labor recruitment agencies. We are trying to impose restrictions so that any person looking for a job abroad will no longer have to pay any kind of commission,” said Camelia Mihalcea, head of International Relations, EURES and Mediation Directorate, National Agency for Employment (ANOFM), during the Business Review event Focus on Employment & HR that took place on April 28.

The categories of professionals that fall prey to flawed recruitment are either highly skilled, such as doctors, IT staff, and other technological professions, or unskilled workers working in fields such as agriculture or constructions.
