Resources and strategies for finding a job

These platforms, recruiters and events can help you access opportunities across Luxembourg.

Adem. Adem’s JobBoard gives access to thousands of vacancies across all sectors, while the Work in Luxembourg portal helps international professionals explore relocation information and opportunities in shortage occupations. Adem also offers recruitment events, career guidance and practical support for jobseekers.

2. Job boards. Jobs.lu, Moovijob and All eyes on me are among Luxembourg’s leading job platforms, with thousands of vacancies across sectors. LinkedIn is widely used by recruiters and employers, while Indeed Luxembourg helps broaden your search by gathering vacancies from multiple sources.

Registering with firms such as Michael Page, Hays, Morgan Philips or Harry Hope can significantly increase your chances. Keep your CV up to date and stay in regular contact with recruiters.

Meet employers face to face

Job fairs remain one of the fastest ways to build your network and discover opportunities in Luxembourg. Instead of submitting applications online, you can speak directly with recruiters, learn more about company culture and sometimes even secure an interview on the spot. The country’s best-known events include Moovijob Day Luxembourg, one of the largest recruitment fairs, bringing together hundreds of employers from sectors such as finance, IT, industry, healthcare and retail.

Prepare a concise introduction, bring several copies of your CV and connect with recruiters on LinkedIn after the event to maximise your chances.

Networking like a pro

Build your network,grow your opportunities. From business clubs to startup hubs, these five organisations offer some of Luxembourg’s best opportunities to meet decision-makers, entrepreneurs and industry leaders.

1. Paperjam Business Club. Luxembourg’s largest business network, the Paperjam Club brings together 1,800 member companies and 25,000 professionals. With over 160 events a year (from 10x6 conferences to CEO cocktails and executive dinners), it is a key gateway to the country’s decision-makers.

2. Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (Lhoft). At the heart of Luxembourg’s fintech ecosystem, the Lhoft connects startups, financial institutions, investors and regulators. Supporting over 200 fintech firms and hosting dozens of events annually, it is a leading hub for innovation and networking in financial services.

3. Chamber of Commerce. Representing more than 100,000 businesses that generate 80% of Luxembourg’s GDP, the Chamber of Commerce is a cornerstone of the country’s business ecosystem. Through conferences, trade missions, workshops and B2B events, it connects entrepreneurs, SMEs, corporates and policymakers year-round.

4. House of Startups. Home to Luxembourg’s startup ecosystem, the House of Startups brings together entrepreneurs, investors and innovation experts. Through pitch competitions, workshops and networking events, it has become a key hub for founders looking to connect, raise funds and scale their ventures.

Its programme of conferences, executive lunches and networking receptions provides direct access to the country’s international business community.

Make yourself employable

According to a study by the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (Liser), based on 75 million job advertisements across four European countries, artificial intelligence is changing the skills employers seek rather than reducing hiring opportunities.

Demand is rising rapidly for skills related to AI, data and predictive analysis, particularly in sectors such as finance, ICT and business services. Yet companies are not only looking for technical experts. The study shows a growing demand for professionals who can combine digital skills with judgement, problem-solving, decision-making and leadership.

For newcomers to Luxembourg, language skills, adaptability and the ability to work in multicultural environments remain strong advantages. The key takeaway? Employers increasingly value candidates who can learn, evolve and integrate new technologies into their daily work, regardless of their profession.

Tailor every application

The extra tip? Tailor every application. Recruiters often spend less than a minute reviewing a CV. Adapt yours to each role by highlighting the skills, experience and keywords that appear in the job description. A targeted CV is far more effective than a generic one.
