The Greek Ministry of Labour introduces a new digital process for the immediate recruitment of employees.
Mobile hiring in ERGANI II is a new digital service introduced by the Ministry of Labour, enabling businesses to address emergency staffing needs through a fast, secure, and fully digital recruitment process.
The new service, titled “Employment Notification for Emergency Staffing Needs”, utilizes the Ergani App and myErgani App, allowing employers and employees to complete the hiring process in just a few simple steps, without the need for physical presence.
Mobile hiring in ERGANI II significantly reduces administrative burden and enables businesses to respond quickly and efficiently to unexpected staffing requirements.
What Is the New ERGANI II Feature?
The new service is designed for businesses that need to address urgent or unforeseen staffing needs by providing a fast and fully digital hiring procedure.
Employers can conclude employment contracts for a period of up to two (2) days, while all required declarations are submitted electronically through the mobile applications.
How Does Mobile Hiring in ERGANI II Work?
The process is completed in three simple steps.
1. Employer Registration
The employer enters the employee’s Tax Identification Number (TIN) together with the basic employment details through the Ergani App.
2. Employee Digital Acceptance
The employee receives a notification through the myErgani App, reviews the employment details, and electronically accepts the employment contract.
3. Final Submission
Once the employer completes the submission, the ERGANI II Information System is automatically updated and the employment is officially registered electronically.
Which Procedures Are Completed Automatically?
One of the most significant advantages of the new service is that a single submission automatically completes:
- Employment commencement notification.
- Digital working time declaration.
- Employment termination notification.
This significantly reduces administrative workload while accelerating the overall hiring process.
When Can Mobile Hiring in ERGANI II Be Used?
The new procedure has been specifically designed for emergency and temporary staffing needs.
It is not intended to replace the standard hiring procedures and cannot be used as a general recruitment method for employment contracts.
For this reason, each case should be carefully assessed to ensure that the use of the new service complies with the applicable legal framework.
What Are the Benefits for Businesses?
The new service offers several important advantages, including:
- Faster recruitment procedures.
- Reduced administrative burden.
- A fully digital hiring process.
- Immediate response to emergency staffing needs.
- Secure processing through the gov.gr ecosystem and the ERGANI II Information System.
As a result, businesses gain greater operational flexibility, particularly in sectors where unexpected staffing requirements arise frequently.
What Should Employers Know?
Although the procedure is simple and user-friendly, it should only be used in the circumstances permitted by the applicable labour legislation.
Proper use of the new process helps businesses remain compliant with the legal framework while ensuring the smooth management of employment relationships.
