How to Hire a Worker From Asia in Poland – Step by Step

Everything starts with a precise description of the position: the number of people needed, scope of duties, shift system, required experience, pay conditions, and the date by which the workers must be on site in Poland. The more detailed the brief, the more accurate the candidate pre-selection.

• Number of positions and job titles (e.g. production operator, welder, warehouse worker)
• Hard requirements: experience, qualifications, language level
• Conditions: hourly rate, bonuses, shift system, overtime
• Housing: whether the employer provides it or we arrange it

We source candidates through local partners in our recruitment countries. We run a pre-selection process: we verify documents, professional experience and motivation to relocate to Poland, then we send the full set of candidate profiles for the employer's approval.

Once candidates are approved, we compile the employer's documents and file an application for a type A work permit with the relevant voivodeship office (urząd wojewódzki). This is usually the longest stage of the whole process, and in practice it is what determines the actual arrival date.

• The employer's registration documents and statements
• Type A work permit application for a specific position and conditions
• Ongoing follow-up on formal gaps requested by the office

Once the work permit decision is issued, the candidate applies for a visa at a Polish consular post or a visa application centre. Waiting times depend on the country and how busy the consulate is – this is the one element no agency can control directly.

1. 1

   Transport

   We organise the flight and the transfer from the airport straight to the address in Poland.

2. 2

   Housing

   The flat or lodging is ready before arrival, at a standard agreed with the employer.

3. 3

   First days

   Address registration, PESEL number, bank account, medical check-up and workplace safety (BHP) training.

Once work begins, one coordinator stays with you: they track upcoming document deadlines, help with communication with the workers, and respond to any urgent situations. This is usually what decides whether the team stays for longer.
