Job search websites in Belarus 2026: a ranking built on verified facts
A ranking of Belarusian job boards, vacancy aggregators and the state employment service portal, built only on verifiable facts from their official pages: whether they are free for job seekers, whether they check employers or moderate vacancies, whether they publish advice on avoiding scams, whether you can hide your CV from chosen companies, whether the operator is named with its UNP, the privacy policy, how many vacancies they state, and the App Store rating of their app. Recruiting agencies and freelance platforms are not included. Every fact links to its source with the date we checked it. This is not advice to use a particular site. Places are not for sale.

Not ranked yet: not enough verified data
These services are known to us, but we haven't verified enough facts to rank them fairly.
- JobLab.by (site closed to automated checks, )
- devby Вакансии (19% backed by facts)
- Портал ГСЗ (Общереспубликанский банк вакансий) (42% backed by facts)
Sites marked as closed refuse automated reading (403 error, captcha or a robots.txt ban). We don't bypass such protection, so we can't verify their facts and they are not ranked. This says nothing about their quality. A company can send links to its official pages to [email protected].
How we calculate the Score
20%
Reliability
Whether the website names its operator with a registration number (in the imprint, terms or contacts), and whether a privacy or personal data policy is published.
30%
Safety for job seekers
Whether the site says it checks employers or moderates job ads before they go live, and whether it publishes its own guidance on recognising fake vacancies and job scams.
25%
Terms for job seekers
Whether searching, applying and posting a CV are free for job seekers, and whether you can hide your CV from chosen companies or make it invisible.
25%
Vacancies and app
How many vacancies the site itself says it has (the first tens of thousands matter most), whether it has its own job seeker app, and that app's App Store rating weighted by the number of ratings.
How to look for work safely
Never pay to be hired
A genuine employer does not charge for an interview, training, a uniform or a work permit. A request for money, a deposit or card details before a contract is the most common sign of a scam.
Check who the employer is
Look the company up in the official business register, compare the contact details with its own website and be careful if the employer only talks through messengers or personal email.
Protect your personal data
Do not put your ID number, passport details or home address in your CV. Send document copies only after an offer, to the company's official address, and never share codes from text messages.
Use the privacy settings of your CV
If you are employed, hide your CV from your current employer or make it visible only to the companies you apply to. Check what your profile looks like to others before publishing it.
Read the offer in writing
Ask for the salary, working hours, type of contract and place of work in writing before you start. An employment contract should be signed before the first working day.
Report suspicious ads
Use the report button on the job site, and if you have lost money or data, contact the police. Save screenshots of the ad and the messages before they are deleted.
Frequently asked questions
Is there an official state job site in Belarus?
Yes. Under Article 24 of the Law «On Employment of the Population», the information portal of the state employment service (gsz.gov.by) is a state information system owned by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection. It hosts the national vacancy bank with information on vacant jobs.
Do I have to pay the employment service for help finding a job?
No. Article 23 of the law says that services related to promoting citizens' employment are provided by the state employment service free of charge.
How can I tell whether a recruitment agency is legitimate?
Under Article 25 of the law, the Ministry of Labour keeps a register of recruitment agencies, and an agency may not provide job placement services unless it is included in that register. Check the agency in the register before you sign anything or pay.
What may an employer not write in a job ad?
Article 35 of the law forbids employers to state discriminatory conditions in information about vacancies: sex, race, national and social origin, religious or political beliefs, property status, age, physical or mental impairments that do not prevent the work, and other circumstances not related to professional qualities or the specific job.
