For Employers in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Hire Professional Drivers in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Publish your driver vacancies on FastDriver.eu, reach candidates across the country, in the wider region and in eligible international markets, and manage applications yourself.

A Driver Job Portal Built for Local Employers
FastDriver.eu connects hauliers, forwarding companies, construction and timber transport operators, bus companies and distribution businesses with drivers looking for work.
Publish a genuine vacancy, state the licence category, describe the routes and the rotation, and receive applications directly. Say whether the work runs towards the Croatian coast, north into Croatia and Slovenia or east into Serbia, since the crossings shape the job. Browse current listings at www.fastdriver.eu/jobs/bosnia-and-herzegovina.
FastDriver.eu is a specialised driver job portal. It is not a recruitment agency or an employment intermediary, it does not employ drivers and it does not lease workers.
Your company reviews the applications, interviews the candidates, inspects the original licence and any professional certification, and signs the employment contract. The hiring decision stays with you.
Advertise the Driver Roles Your Fleet Needs
Employers here recruit across international haulage into the European Union, domestic distribution, timber and construction supply and passenger transport. State the licence category and the crossings involved.
Truck and Heavy Goods Drivers
Advertise vozac kamiona and vozac C or CE kategorije positions in domestic distribution, quarrying, construction supply and industrial transport.
Timber and Bulk Transport Drivers
Advertise for drivers serving the forestry and wood processing sector, along with aggregate and mining related bulk work, usually with crane or tipper handling.
Bus and Coach Drivers
Publish roles for vozac autobusa on city and intercity networks, works transport for industrial sites and the coach services running to the region and to western Europe.
Van, Delivery and ADR Drivers
Advertise dostavljac and kurir positions in parcel and food distribution, along with ADR qualified and tanker drivers for fuel and chemical 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 Country
The country is made up of two entities, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, together with the Brcko District. That structure matters for hiring, because the work permit quota is divided between them.
The main north to south route links the interior with the Croatian border and the Adriatic, carrying most of the country's international freight.
Mountainous geography means long journey times relative to distance, with gradients, tunnels and winter conditions on many routes.
Forestry and wood processing support a substantial specialist haulage sector, much of it on unsurfaced forest roads.
Metals, automotive components and food processing generate scheduled transport towards the European market.
Where Employers Are Hiring Drivers
Naming the city and the entity helps candidates judge the commute, and it also tells them which employment service will handle any permit.
Driver Job Titles and How Candidates Search Here
Candidates search in Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, which are close enough that one advert reaches the whole domestic pool and much of the neighbouring region.
Vozac kamiona is the standard freight term, usually paired with the category as vozac C or CE kategorije.
International work is searched as medunarodni prevoz and is treated as a distinct career track, with nights away taken as given.
Passenger roles use vozac autobusa, while delivery and courier work appears as dostavljac and kurir.
Candidates state their licence category, any professional certification and ADR where held, and experienced drivers name the crossings and the regions they have run.
Publish in the local language for the domestic market, and add English where you are open to candidates further afield. Naming the crossings improves the quality of applications more than any keyword.
Recruit Drivers Locally, Regionally or Internationally
FastDriver.eu operates as a European driver job portal and allows candidates in other parts of the world to discover and apply for suitable vacancies here.
Employers here may receive applications from drivers based in the country, the western Balkans, EU and EEA countries, Asia, Africa, Gulf countries and other eligible international markets.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is not an EU or EEA state, so European free movement does not apply. Nationals of some western Balkan countries and of states with bilateral agreements benefit from simplified access, which is worth checking first.
The standard route has two steps at two different levels. The work permit is obtained from the competent employment service at entity or district level, and temporary residence on that basis is issued by the Service for Foreigners' Affairs under the state Ministry of Security. Work must not begin until both are in place.
The constraint to plan around is the annual quota, set by the Council of Ministers and split between the Federation, Republika Srpska and the Brcko District, and further divided by sector. Permits within it go first to extensions and only then to new employment, and priority is given to foreign nationals who already hold residence based on family reunification. A labour market test applies as well. 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 Certification and Experience
State the licence category in the advert, and be explicit about the certification the role requires under local rules.
The familiar category structure applies, with C and CE for freight, C1 and C1E for lighter rigid vehicles, D and D1 for passenger transport and B for delivery work.
Because the country is outside the European Union, the EU driver qualification instrument does not apply here of its own force. Confirm with the competent transport authority what professional driver certification your vacancy requires.
For work running into the Union the position needs checking separately, since a driver crossing into Croatia or Slovenia will be subject to what those countries require of the driver and the vehicle.
Tachograph and ADR requirements apply to the relevant work, and timber haulage usually adds crane and load securing certification.
Experience requirements are set by operators. Mountain and winter route confidence and familiarity with the specific crossings matter here and appear on no certificate. FastDriver.eu can present candidate information, but verifying original documents remains the employer's responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FastDriver.eu?
A specialised driver job portal used across Europe. Employers here publish driver vacancies and receive applications directly from candidates.
Is FastDriver.eu a recruitment agency?
No. It is a job portal, not a recruitment agency or employment intermediary, and it does not lease workers. Your company employs the driver directly.
Which employers can use the platform?
Legally operating transport and logistics companies, hauliers, forwarders, fleet operators, bus operators, delivery and courier businesses.
Which language should we advertise in?
The local language reaches the whole domestic pool and much of the neighbouring region. An English version further widens the reach.
Is the country in the European Union?
No, and it is not in the EEA. European free movement does not apply, and the driver qualification arrangements are the country’s own rather than those of the EU.
How does the work permit process work?
In two steps at two levels. The work permit is issued by the competent employment service at the entity or district level, and temporary residence on that basis is granted by the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs at the state level.
What is the annual quota?
A cap set by the Council of Ministers, split between the Federation, Republika Srpska and the Brčko District and further divided by sector. Check the allocation for your entity and sector before committing to a start date.
Do extensions compete with new hires for the quota?
Yes, and extensions come first. Permits within the quota are issued for extending existing permits before any are released for new employment, which is worth knowing when planning an intake.
Is there a labour market test?
Yes. Your company informs the local employment office that no suitable domestic candidate was available for the role, submits the vacancy records, and waits for confirmation.
Who gets priority within the quota?
Foreign nationals who already hold temporary residence based on family reunification are given priority when permits are issued.
Can a driver work here without a permit at all?
Certain exempt categories may work for a limited number of days in a calendar year on a certificate of work. If your engagement does not fit an exemption or exceeds the period, use the standard permit route.
Does practice differ between the entities?
Yes, and that is the main practical complication. Confirm procedures, lead times and renewal windows with the competent authority for the entity or district where the work will be done.
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 employer’s responsibility.
How long does it take to hire an international driver?
There is no fixed timeline. Allow for the labour market step, the employment service decision, the visa stage where one applies and the residence permit after arrival.
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.
