Tööhõiveavaldusega

Tööhõiveavaldusega is a concept in Estonian labor law that refers to the obligation of employers to actively seek suitable candidates for vacant positions within their company. This obligation arises from the Estonian Labor Contracts Act, which aims to promote fair competition and prevent monopolistic practices in the labor market.

The tööhõiveavaldusega requirement is triggered when an employer has a vacant position that has been open for a certain period, typically three months. At this point, the employer must make a public announcement of the vacancy, detailing the job requirements and the conditions of employment. This announcement is typically published in a local newspaper or on the employer's website.

The purpose of the tööhõiveavaldusega is to ensure that the labor market remains open and competitive. By actively seeking candidates, employers are encouraged to consider a wide range of applicants, including those who may not be immediately obvious choices. This can lead to a more diverse and skilled workforce, benefiting both the employer and the employees.

However, the tööhõiveavaldusega also has its critics. Some argue that it can be seen as an unnecessary burden on employers, particularly small businesses. Others contend that it may not always lead to the best possible candidate, as the process can be time-consuming and may not always result in a suitable match.

In practice, the tööhõiveavaldusega has been implemented in various ways, with some employers choosing to use specialized recruitment agencies or job boards to facilitate the process. The effectiveness of the tööhõiveavaldusega in achieving its goals remains a subject of ongoing debate and evaluation.
