Specialist search
We reach where adverts never do.

Classic recruitment publishes an advert and waits for candidates who are actively looking for a job. Specialist search (direct search) means we reach out ourselves to specific people who are doing that exact job today for another employer – in Poland and abroad – and present your offer to them. That gives you access to passive candidates who would never answer a job advert.

Engineering and technical staff (process engineers, maintenance, automation, design engineers), certified production specialists (certified welders, CNC operators, licensed electricians), mid-level management (shift leaders, foremen, warehouse and site managers) and support roles: quality, health and safety, logistics, purchasing.

We usually present the first shortlist of verified candidates within 10–20 working days of signing the contract and taking the brief. The full process – from kick-off to a signed contract with the candidate – most often takes 4–8 weeks for the Polish market and 8–14 weeks for non-EU candidates, where legalisation and relocation are added.

We run both tracks. We first test the local market and candidates already living in Poland – that is the fastest route. If the market does not respond or salary expectations are unrealistic, we activate international directions where we have our own recruitment teams.

As standard: a competency interview run by a recruiter who knows the industry, verification of documents and certificates at source, references from previous supervisors, a language test (English or Polish) and – where relevant – a practical task or work sample agreed with your technical team.

We work on a success fee basis – payable after the candidate is hired, calculated as a percentage of their gross annual salary or as a fixed amount agreed upfront. For difficult, niche roles we use a mixed model with a small retainer covering the research. All terms are agreed in writing before we start.

Every placement is covered by a guarantee. If the candidate resigns or is dismissed for reasons on their side within the agreed period, we repeat the search at no additional fee. The scope and length of the guarantee are stated in the contract.

Yes. If the position is still occupied or the project is confidential, we run the process without disclosing your company name until you decide otherwise. Candidates then learn the industry, scale and location, but not the employer.

Yes, it is the natural extension of this service. We handle type A work permits, single permits for temporary residence and work, and residence cards – and for highly qualified roles we assess the EU Blue Card route. You can order research alone or the full package with legalisation and relocation.

Usually 3–5 people. Each with a short report: experience mapped against your requirements, confirmed certificates, language level, salary expectations, availability and motivation to change jobs. We do not bury you in CVs – we present candidates we recommend ourselves.

A market report: how many candidates match the profile, what their realistic salary expectations are, what discourages them from moving and which requirement narrows the pool the most. It is the material you need to consciously adjust the range, scope or location.

For multiple positions we run one project with a dedicated account manager, a shared schedule and a weekly status report. We agree the filling order with you, starting with roles that block the others – usually management ones.
