Romanian subsidies for job creators

- The employer must hire the unemployed person for a duration for at least 12 months from the date of hire.
- The hire must not have been an employee of the employer during the 6 months preceeding the date of for the position for which the exemption is sought;
- The person must be hired for a newly created position;
- The employer must not dismiss employees for reasons other than the fault of the employee (for both new and recent employees).
