# Skilled workers from Eastern Europe: requirements for companies

Specialist staffing depends on a concrete role. Job titles and origin are not enough: procedures, equipment, experience, language skills and qualifications must match the work. This checklist focuses on preparing an enquiry.

## Which tasks need specialist knowledge?

Record steps performed independently, equipment, processes and required experience. Welding, machine operation and assembly have different profiles. Explain responsibility and decisions requiring a specialist contact.

## Compare documents and practical experience

For relevant tasks, identify suitable qualification documents and practical experience. Do not substitute a job title for a defined role. Agree who checks documents and what induction is required. A general enquiry is not a promise of every specialist qualification.

## Prepare workplace communication

Specify the language needed for instructions, records and questions. Distinguish routine discussions from safety-related instructions. Identify induction and coordination contacts. Compare language skills with the individual profile rather than assuming them from origin.

## Keep the search within its actual scope

Skilled workers from abroad is broader than a staffing profile from Eastern Europe. Countries of origin, employment models and assignments can need different checks. This page does not provide a general immigration or recognition strategy or establish residence rights. It focuses on tasks, selection criteria and responsibilities to clarify.
