There are three online job agencies in Lithuania, but only “Brain Power” gives the opportunity for companies to look for their future employers only at professionals’ databases.

Ability to compete is the main engine of modern free market economy. Those who cannot compete are condemned for lousy jobs or even unemployment. The main requirements accepting for a job are foreign language knowledge, ability to work in team, flexibility and basic computer knowledge. People who do not fit at least one of these requirements have troubles in finding a job. In Lithuania finding job process is quite simple: advertisement is given to the local newspapers and it is waited for hundreds of candidates, arranging interviews etc. What about alternative ways of finding young educated professionals? Lithuanian job agencies (private ones) gather some kind of fees for searching a job for people. The companies, which accept employees through these agencies, do not pay a penny. Sometimes it is ridiculous, but unemployed used to is more weird things. People are trying to get any job; some doesn't pay attention to their profession and high skills. Online job agencies can change this kind of situation. The main principle is one's CV put into database accessible to companies seeking workers. Companies can decide what kind of qualification and skills are needed and instead of interviewing a bunch of people, contact only one particular candidate. This procedure can take a very short time: one day the CV is submitted, second day the person is contacted and the third day – an interview. The procedure of accepting employee through traditional job agency can last much more, even months. This is the superiority of online job agencies against ordinal ones. Lithuania is rapidly going towards free market economy with high standards of employees. At present time there are three online job agencies, but only one of them – ”Brain Power“ specializes in providing employers with opportunity to find for a professional, not amateur, student or person with limited experience and education. These kinds of possibilities are so far only for Lithuania even though there are Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian and Ukrainian databases. This allows finding new employees for work in these countries, because some Lithuanian firms are expanding to other Baltic States and Ukraine. So far there are more than 2000 CVs submitted. More than 40 companies are collaborating with “Brain Power” in searching for employees. As the director of this company Dr. Rolandas Markevièius hopes, more and more companies will understand incredible possibilities in finding good workers. The CVs are to be renewed every three months; otherwise they are deleted from databases. This is done in order to keep the dynamics and mutual connections between “Brain Power” and job seekers. This kind of system also prevents database from spammers who can give wrong data about themselves. As Dr. Markevièius said this kind of jokers can be caught when they arrange meeting with a company for an interview. Until now Lithuania is not really developed in IT sphere because not everybody uses (or know how to use) computers and Internet. In such condition online job agency cannot be very successful. Dr. Markevièius analyzing American experience where more than half of job seekers find their jobs online, not with the help of traditional job agencies. It is daring to forecast that soon situation in Lithuania will be the same. The tendencies for spreading IT business are optimistic and the fact that Lithuania has three competing online job agencies while Estonia only one says that we are not standing in the same place. The progress is quite rapid and much promising. The “Brain Power” hopes to open Lithuanian professionals’ database for foreign countries, but this means that the representing offices should be established in foreign countries. “Brain Power” still is not ready because the big efforts and investment are being cast to Lithuanian job market.
