The aim of this paper is to present and analyze opportunities for and barriers to cooperation between private employers and public employment offices in the Czech Republic, from the employers’ perspective. Based on research results, opportunities for cooperation can be seen in attitudes of employment officers towards employers, individualization and differentiation of approaches, better mutual awareness etc., but also in successive changes of some legislative and institutional factors. The barriers to cooperation, on the other hand, can be seen in hardly removable structural factors, such as the structure and characteristics of jobseekers, divergence of goals and lack of mutual interdependence.
