There are plenty of international companies operating in the Czech Republic, offering positions in almost every field. If you are looking for a job in a specific company, you can visit the career section of their website directly.

Immigration Consultancy Services
Finding a perfect job is important, but legalising your stay in the Czech Republic is also crucial. Sometimes, visa procedures can be complex and time-consuming, and you may therefore need some assistance to carry out the whole process simpler and faster.
