The General Employment Aptitude Test (euGEAT™) program has recently expanded its network by accrediting several new recruitment agencies across key labor-sending countries. This expansion strengthens the reach of euGEAT™ as a trusted pre-employment screening tool for non-office job applicants seeking employment opportunities in Europe.
Over the past quarter, recruitment firms from the Philippines, Bangladesh, Tunisia, and Serbia have successfully completed the rigorous accreditation process, enabling them to officially administer euGEAT™ as part of their candidate evaluation services. This milestone is expected to improve the quality and reliability of candidates presented to European employers, aligning recruitment practices with international standards.
Benefits of Accreditation
Agencies accredited by euGEAT™ gain access to:
-
Authorized testing platforms and official score reporting
-
Training materials for staff and candidates
-
Ongoing technical support and quality assurance
-
Partnership opportunities with employers and governments
These resources help agencies deliver consistent, ethical, and transparent recruitment services, reducing the risk of mismatches and early contract terminations.
Impact on Employers and Candidates
For employers, accreditation ensures that recruitment partners provide verified, job-ready candidates, improving hiring confidence and efficiency. Candidates benefit from a standardized evaluation process that fairly assesses their suitability for physically demanding roles, increasing their chances of securing legal employment abroad.
Future Plans
The euGEAT™ Accreditation Office plans to continue expanding its agency network, focusing on regions with high labor export volumes. By fostering collaboration between agencies, employers, and regulatory bodies, euGEAT™ aims to promote fair, safe, and effective international recruitment.
