Frequently asked questions

For job seekers

Does it cost anything to use Expat Option?

Searching for jobs, creating an account and applying is free for job seekers. Never pay anyone for a job offer, interview or application. See our safety advice.

Who can see my CV?

Your CV is stored privately. It is only shared with an employer when you apply to one of their vacancies. You can also choose whether your profile is visible to employers.

How do I apply?

Create an account, upload your CV, then press "Apply now" on a vacancy. Some vacancies send you to the employer's own website instead. Your applications and their status are shown in your dashboard.

How do I delete my account and data?

Open your dashboard, go to Settings, and choose "Delete your account". You can also download a copy of your data from the same page.

I forgot my password.

Use the password reset page.

For employers

Why must my company be verified?

Verification protects job seekers from fake vacancies and protects genuine employers. Unverified companies can save draft vacancies but cannot publish them.

Are vacancies published immediately?

No. Each vacancy is reviewed first. If you edit a live vacancy, the changes are reviewed before the vacancy shows publicly again.

How long does a vacancy stay live?

Vacancies are shown until their application deadline or for a set period after approval, whichever comes first. Closed and expired vacancies are removed from search.
