EURES — European Employment Services (network of European employment services)

A network of the public employment services of EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, with its own job portal. In Portugal it is run by IEFP. It helps citizens of these countries move abroad for work; for everyone else, the portal is useful as a large list of vacancies.

Where you come across it. Looking for work in Portugal from abroad.
EURES does not get you a visa: a worker from outside the EU still needs a work visa.
