In Romania, employers are required to obtain a medical certificate or check in order to confirm an applicant's ability to perform the job in question. The employer is responsible for covering the cost of the medical check. Additionally, immigration compliance must be taken into consideration when relevant. It is common for employers to conduct reference checks on an applicant's length of employment and work history with previous employers, but the applicant must be informed beforehand. Processing data on criminal records is generally prohibited.
