Top 5 Most Popular Job Vacancies in the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic is a particularly attractive location for both foreign employees and many international businesses due to its central location within Europe. With good transportation and infrastructure, it is an excellent base for doing business with Germany and Russia, for example. Czech’s infrastructure, combined with its reputation among investors as being a stable westernized market, means the country has succeeded in attracting a large amount of direct foreign investment.

Today, a large number of jobs with an average salary of 33,840 crowns (1,300 euros) per month in the Czech Republic are quite common. Highly paid vacancies are open to foreigners, especially those who graduated from Czech higher education institutions. Despite the fact, that there is a huge amount of expats working in the Czech Republic, the lack of a workforce is still notable. Hence, what are the most popular vacancies for expats?

  1. In the Czech Republic, as well as throughout the world, the leading position is occupied by the field of information technology and network administration. Programmers, IT specialists, WEB-designers and software developers remain in the top of the list!
  2. The second, no less important position are doctors and health care workers!  When researchers study the issue of labor robotization, doctors, as a rule, find themselves outside the “risk group”. They cannot be replaced by any cars, and they do not lose their importance. In addition, in many regions of the Czech Republic there is a shortage of medical workers, many of whom work overtime, so young doctors and doctoral students are in great demand!
  3. Next in line is a financial consultant! This is a person who consults his clients in monetary matters, analyzes and deals with financial situations and, on the basis of knowledge of banking and insurance services, creates a sufficient financial plan for the client. For this position, you will need financial education.
  4. The situation on the labor market is dynamic: new professions appear in the Czech Republic, old ones disappear, the demand and popularity of various specialties are changing, but only the demand for marketing analytics continues to grow! A marketing analyst ensures the success of a new product or service in the consumer market. A specialist in this field always keeps up with the presents and follows the trends! If you are applying for this position – you will need education in the field of management and economics.
  5. The list is concluded by chemists. Chemistry at the moment is a rapidly developing industry, and the most sought-after areas are biomedicine, biotechnology, and nanomaterials.

So, the Czech Republic is open to workers of various industries. Want to find a job in the Czech Republic, but do not know how to do it? Read our articles about job search using employment websites or social media.

  8. Hello,

    I am from India and planning to do my MBA from Czech Republic. Can you please confirm if MBA fresher’s jobs are easily available there or shall i look for some other course which has more employability? Also can you name few mainly related to Management and Finance.

    1. Hi Arpita!
      We’re glad you’re coming to study in the Czech Republic. I recommend you read our recent article targeting international students (link below). If you’re studying a daily accredited programme in Czechia, you can look for jobs while you study, because you’ll have free access to the job market. Once you’ve graduated, you can also apply for a special 9-month visa which will allow you to look for a job without having to leave here.

      I personally think you should have no problems finding a job with an MBA, but we don’t specialize in job searches, we mainly specialize in immigration services.
      Here’s the link:

    1. Hi Benjamin,
      We are not a recruiting agency, but once you have a job in Czechia, we can help you with all relocation and immigration matters.
      As for jobs, I recommend looking online on LinkedIn on webistes like indeed.cz or prace.cz or jobs.cz and looking for keywords like “instalatér”.

      Best of Luck,
      Tereza

  10. Hello
    I am from Zambia and would like to know if it would be difficult to obtain a job in Czechia with a Master in Business Management from Masaryk University. I intend to enroll for that Master however I have been told that Information Technology (IT) related jobs are the ones in demand in Czechia especially if you dont speak any Czech. What are the chances of finding employment for non-tech jobs. Do you know of any cases where non-EU foreigners have returned home due to being unable to obtain employment (particularly because the field they studied is not in demand)

    1. Hi Sean,
      we are not recruitment agency, so sadly we do not have the data to help you answer this question. From what I know ALL jobs are currently in demand in Czechia, because the unemployment is super low here. I’d recommend you register on LinkedIn and keep your eye on big international companies in the Czech Republic. Many companies will grant you an online interview these days, so you don’t have to relocate before you’ve secured a job.

      Best of luck
      Tereza

      We don’t really specialize in recruitment or the job market, so I can’t offer you any expertise there. Once you’ve found a job, however, we can help you with your immigration needs.

      I’m sure that as an engineer, you’ll find something in Brno, Prague or Pilsen for sure! Make sure to check out companies on LinkedIn or Glassdoor or indeed.
