Our solutions: classic recruiting and outstaffing
We offer flexibility by tailoring our solutions to your operational and strategic goals.

Model 1: Full-Cycle Recruitment (Direct Hire)

Ideal when you need a new permanent team member. We act as a seamless extension of your HR department, but with deep local market expertise.

Our process is a proven system:
  1. Consultation & Audit. An in-depth interview to define the ideal candidate profile (Hard and Soft Skills) and analyze the competitive landscape.
  2. Strategy & Hunting. Proactive sourcing through professional networks and direct approaches (headhunting) to passive, high-potential candidates.
  3. Assessment & Presentation. Conducting structured interviews, testing, and reference checks. You receive a detailed dossier on each shortlisted specialist.
  4. Support & Guarantee. Assistance with offer negotiation, legal support for onboarding, and post-placement follow-up during the adaptation period.

Model 2: Outstaffing (Long-Term Personnel Leasing)

The perfect tool for flexible resource management without bureaucracy. The specialist is employed by our partner company, while their labor and working time are fully dedicated to your projects.

Your direct benefits:
  • Zero Legal Risk. We are the official employer in full compliance with all EU regulations—from contract and taxes to sick leave and vacations.
  • Speed & Agility. Scaling your team in weeks, not months. Perfect for urgent projects or seasonal peaks.
  • Budget Control. A transparent, fixed service cost instead of hidden expenses for recruitment, payroll, and administration.
  • Market Test-Drive. The opportunity to "try out" a new country or business line, assessing effectiveness before major investment in a legal entity.
