Everything you need to know as a candidate

What are the requirements to apply for retail jobs in Malta?

Requirements vary by role. A store or shift supervisor position typically requires previous retail management experience, while a cashier or shop assistant role may only ask for customer service experience and a good attitude. Always read the full job description before applying.

How do I know if I qualify for a role?

Each retail listing outlines the required experience, language skills, and any certifications needed. If you have hands-on experience in a shop, supermarket, or customer-facing role, you likely qualify for more roles than you think. Apply and our team will let you know.

How do I apply for a job in Malta?

Browse the retail positions on this page and click the role that fits your profile. Apply directly through the listing. Our team reviews every application and will contact you within a few working days to discuss next steps.

What documents do I need to work in Malta?

EU citizens need a valid ID or passport. Non-EU candidates typically need a valid passport, a signed job offer, and must apply for a work permit before starting. Our team will guide you through the exact requirements for your situation.

Yes. Most employers in Malta work in English, which is an official language of the country. Maltese is not required for the majority of roles we recruit for.

How long does the hiring process take?

It varies by role and employer, but most placements happen within 2 to 4 weeks. We keep you updated at every step so you always know where your application stands.

What does “Target Location” mean in the job description?

Each job listing includes a Target Location that tells you who is eligible to apply:

Only residents in Malta — You must already be living in Malta to apply.
Residents in Malta & Europeans — You can apply if you are already in Malta or hold a European passport.
Maltese only — This role is open to Maltese nationals only.
Only for Europeans — Open to European citizens only, regardless of where you currently live.
Worldwide — Anyone from anywhere in the world is welcome to apply.

What happens after I get placed in a job?

We stay in contact after placement to make sure everything is going well. If any issues arise with your employer or contract, our team is available to help you resolve them quickly.

Can I apply from abroad?

It depends on the job. Each listing includes a Target Location that tells you who can apply. If the job is marked Worldwide, you can apply directly from abroad — no need to be in Malta yet. For all other Target Locations (such as Residents in Malta, Europeans only, or Maltese only), check the specific requirements before applying.
