It depends if you are a citizen of EU, a Nordic country or Switzerland or not. I assume that you are not so in that case you would need a job offer first, apply for a work permit, then come and work.

Here at $MEGA_CORP we have hired tons of non-EU citizen, mostly Russians, and it seems to work pretty well.
