CVKeskus.ee is the main job search channel in Estonia with the largest selection of job offers. At the moment, more than 3,000 job offers have been published on the cvkeskus.ee portal, every third of which contains a salary.
As a salary offer, employers mainly give a range of salaries, and not a specific figure, since in addition to the basic salary, additional payments also affect the proposed salary. In addition, the actual job responsibilities are determined according to the skills and experience of the hired worker, which also affects the terms of remuneration.
