For Romanian Employers
Hire Professional Drivers in Romania
Publish your driver vacancies on FastDriver.eu, reach candidates across the Romanian counties, elsewhere in Europe and in eligible international markets, and manage applications yourself. Where a candidate needs an employment approval, the annual quota governs the timing, so plan early.
Direct employer hiring • European and international reach • Employment approval and relocation guidance when required
A Driver Job Portal Built for Romanian Employers
FastDriver.eu connects Romanian international hauliers, forwarding companies, distribution operators, bus companies and courier businesses with drivers looking for work.
Publish a genuine vacancy, state the licence category, describe the routes and the rotation, and receive applications directly. Romanian operators compete for drivers with employers elsewhere in the Union, so a clear rotation and pay structure does a great deal of work in an advert. Browse current Romanian listings at www.fastdriver.eu/jobs/romania.
FastDriver.eu is a specialised driver job portal. It is not a recruitment agency or a temporary employment agency, it does not employ drivers and it does not lease workers.
Your company reviews the applications, interviews the candidates, inspects the original licence and professional attestation documents, and signs the employment contract under the Labour Code. The hiring decision stays with you.
Advertise the Driver Roles Your Fleet Needs
Romanian employers recruit across international haulage, domestic distribution, port work and passenger transport. State the licence category and the rotation, since for long distance roles that is what candidates compare.
Truck and Heavy Goods Drivers
Advertise sofer camion and sofer categoria C or CE positions in national distribution, port drayage, construction supply and agricultural transport.
Bus and Coach Drivers
Publish roles for sofer autobuz on city networks, county lines, works shuttles for manufacturing plants and long distance coach services.
Van and Delivery Drivers
Advertise curier and sofer de distributie positions in parcel networks, food distribution and the e-commerce operations concentrated around the larger cities.
Tanker, ADR and Specialist Drivers
Reach sofer ADR, cisterna and heavy transport drivers for fuel distribution, the refining sector and oversized cargo work.
Use a job title only where it genuinely matches the role. Unrelated titles added for traffic produce applications you will only reject.
Driver Hiring Across the Romanian Counties
Romania is divided into forty one counties plus the capital. It is the largest country in south eastern Europe, and freight moves along a few dominant corridors rather than evenly.
The routes through Arad and Nadlac towards Hungary carry the bulk of international road freight and underpin the country's long distance haulage sector.
Constanta is the largest port on the Black Sea, generating container, grain and bulk haulage reaching across the country and beyond.
Automotive assembly and component supply across the west and south generate scheduled transport running to fixed delivery windows.
Grain and produce move in large volumes from the southern and eastern plains to the port and to processing plants, with strong seasonal peaks.
Where Romanian Employers Are Hiring Drivers
Each county has a distinct transport profile. Naming it, and the depot town, helps candidates judge both the commute and the route type.
Romanian Driver Job Titles and the Terms Candidates Search
Romanian drivers search in Romanian, and the vocabulary distinguishes clearly between international and domestic work.
Sofer is the everyday term, with sofer profesionist used more formally and conducator auto in regulatory contexts. Candidates attach the category as categoria C or C+E.
Long distance work is still widely searched as sofer TIR, a term that carries real weight with experienced drivers, alongside sofer international.
Passenger roles use sofer autobuz, while delivery and courier work appears as curier and sofer de distributie.
Candidates routinely list their atestat profesional, the professional attestation corresponding to code 95, along with the tachograph card and ADR where held.
Publish in Romanian for the domestic market and add an English version where you are open to candidates from abroad. Naming the rotation in the title improves the quality of applications more than any keyword will.
Recruit Drivers Locally, Across Europe or Worldwide
FastDriver.eu operates as a European driver job portal and allows candidates in other parts of the world to discover and apply for suitable Romanian vacancies.
Romanian employers may receive applications from drivers based in Romania, other EU and EEA countries, Switzerland, the wider European region, Asia, Africa, Gulf countries, North America, Latin America, the Caribbean and other eligible international markets.
EU and EEA citizens and Swiss nationals may work in Romania without an employment approval. Licence and professional attestation requirements still apply.
For third country nationals the employer applies first, to the General Inspectorate for Immigration, for an employment approval as a permanent worker. Only once that is issued can the candidate apply for the long stay visa for employment, and after entry the right of residence is extended into a single permit.
One constraint dominates planning. A government decision sets an annual quota of newly admitted foreign workers, and the approval cannot be issued once that quota is exhausted. The approval also has a limited validity within which the visa must be applied for, so a delayed interview process can waste it. Drivers can check their own position through our driving licence eligibility guidance.
FastDriver.eu can provide process guidance and document coordination when a candidate needs support. It does not make government decisions and cannot promise an approval.
Licences, Professional Attestation and Experience
State the licence category in the advert. Romanian candidates filter on it first.
Freight roles use C and C+E, with C1 and C1E for lighter rigid vehicles. Passenger transport uses D and D1, with DE and D1E where a trailer is drawn. Delivery work sits in category B.
Professional drivers in the C and D categories need the professional attestation, which corresponds to code 95 and is obtained through initial qualification and maintained by periodic training every five years.
A digital tachograph driver card is required for in scope work and ADR training for dangerous goods. For routes crossing into Serbia, Moldova or Ukraine, check what the journey itself requires in addition.
Where a third country national drives for a Romanian operator on international journeys within the Union, a driver attestation may also be needed.
Experience requirements are set by operators. Long distance work looks for route and hours management and confidence at border crossings, port drayage for container handling, while distribution fleets often take newly qualified drivers. FastDriver.eu can present candidate information, but verifying original documents remains the employer's responsibility.

Employer Responsibilities in Romania
The Romanian employer is responsible for the following.
The employment approval is issued to the employer, not to the candidate, and it is your company that must meet the conditions attached to it. Because the approval lapses if the visa is not applied for within its validity, treat the interview and offer timetable as part of the immigration timetable rather than separate from it.
FastDriver.eu does not issue any government approval.
FastDriver.eu cannot guarantee applications, candidate availability, candidate suitability, interview attendance, hiring outcomes, licence recognition, employment approvals, quota availability, visas, residence permits, processing times or continued employment.
Misleading vacancy content may be removed from the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FastDriver.eu?
A specialised driver job portal used across Europe. Romanian employers publish driver vacancies and receive applications directly from candidates.
Is FastDriver.eu a recruitment agency?
No. It is a job portal, not a recruitment or temporary employment agency, and it does not lease workers. Your company employs the driver directly.
Which Romanian employers can use the platform?
Legally operating transport and logistics companies, hauliers, forwarders, fleet operators, bus and coach operators, delivery and courier businesses.
Can we publish vacancies in Romanian?
Yes. Romanian reaches the domestic market effectively, and an English version of the same vacancy broadens its reach to candidates abroad.
Can we advertise sofer TIR roles?
Yes, and the term is still widely used. State the rotation and the time at home, since that is what experienced long-distance drivers compare.
Can we recruit drivers from other EU countries?
Yes. EU and EEA citizens and Swiss nationals may work in Romania without an employment approval. Licence and attestation requirements still apply.
Can we recruit drivers from Asia, Africa or the Gulf?
International drivers can find and apply for Romanian vacancies. Employment depends on an employment approval, a long-stay visa, and a residence permit, and on the driver holding a licence and qualifications valid for use in Romania.
Who applies for the employment approval?
Your company does, to the General Inspectorate for Immigration. The candidate cannot start the process, and the approval is issued to the employer.
What is the annual quota?
A government decision sets the number of newly admitted foreign workers for the year. Once it is exhausted, approvals cannot be issued, so check the current position before committing to a start date.
How long is the approval valid?
For a limited period, within which the candidate must apply for the long stay visa. If that window passes, the approval lapses and the process starts again.
What happens after the driver arrives?
For stays beyond ninety days, the right of temporary residence is extended, and a single permit is issued. Simplified conditions apply where a worker later changes employer or position while holding a valid permit.
Is code 95 required in Romania?
Yes. Professional drivers in the C and D categories require professional attestation, which corresponds to code 95, with periodic training every 5 years.
Who verifies driving licences and documents?
Your company does. The platform may collect candidate information and assist with document coordination, but inspecting the originals is the eemployer’sresponsibility.
How long does it take to hire an international driver?
There is no fixed timeline. It depends on the quota position, the Immigration Inspectorate’s handling, the consular visa stage and your own process.
What does it cost to use FastDriver.eu as an employer?
Options depend on the number of vacancies, the promotion level and the support you need. Terms are agreed with your company in advance.
How do we start hiring?
Submit the employer enquiry with your company details and driver requirements, or post the vacancy directly. Your team then reviews the applications and selects the driver.
