The development of the new online and mobile-app tool will be overseen by Janusz Cieszyński, an aide to Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Polish state news agency PAP reported.

“Job hunters will be able to feed their professional qualifications and needs into the database,” the Polish Prime Minister's Office said on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, companies and employment agencies will do the same with job offers, according to officials. 

As a result, after entering information about their work skills, experience and expectations, job seekers "will receive feedback, including relevant job offers and contact details to potential employers,” officials said.  

The new tool will be made available online and on the mObywatel mobile app for users nationwide, the PAP news agency reported.
