The agency should help facilitate meetings and bring together employers with job seekers, especially those who are long-term unemployed and have particular difficulties in finding work. In addition to this, the agency should work to increase employment in the long term.[1] This is primarily done by providing active support to companies in the recruitment process, facilitating meetings at the agency's premises and providing free searchable database.[2] Until 2018, the agency was called the Labour Exchange (Lithuanian: Darbo birža), but it was then reformed and renamed.
