What you can expect from us.

I.

15 working days

The first qualified candidate within 15 working days of signing the order, provided the position profile is clearly defined. We write this deadline into the contract.

II.

60-day replacement guarantee

The guarantee runs for 60 days from the worker's first working day. If the worker doesn't work out in that time, we look for a replacement at no new fee until we find one.

III.

Mediation, not leasing

The worker is employed directly by you, under your employment contract. We are not the worker's formal employer. That is the legal difference between mediation and temporary agency work, also called labour leasing (AÜG in Germany).

IV.

Licences and registry

We hold licences from the Croatian Ministry of Labour, Pension System, Family and Social Policy: no. 205/20 for employment mediation, which is our service, and no. 359/20 for temporary agency work, which we hold but do not offer. You can check both numbers in the ministry's registry.

V.

Wide scope, on request

We actively recruit for tourism, construction, manufacturing, transport, agriculture and care work. On an employer's request we look for workers for almost any position, except civil service jobs and management board members. If your profile isn't on the list, ask us. Before we confirm cooperation, we check whether such candidates are available.

VI.

Regional focus

We recruit mainly from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia and Montenegro. The languages and customs of the region are close to Croatia's, so candidates placed in Croatia settle in faster. Before they arrive, candidates know the working conditions and have passed our screening. We open other source markets at a client's request.

Four steps of mediation, from profile to arrival.

01

Profile

We discuss the position, pay, shifts, accommodation and start date, then write down the exact profile together. If we judge that we can't find such a candidate, we tell you straight away. Our assessment depends on the conditions you offer, but sometimes even good conditions are not enough because such workers simply aren't available. We base it on our experience so far.

02

Search and screening

We search actively through our regional network in five markets and check documents, references and motivation. We only present candidates who know the conditions and are available for the process. The first qualified candidate comes within 15 working days of signing the order.

03

Permits and documents

If the candidate needs a work permit or visa, you submit the application as the employer and we help you collect the documents for it. Permit processing times don't depend on us, so we don't promise dates, but we follow the procedure through to the end.

04

Arrival and guarantee

When needed, we help arrange travel and accommodation. If the job or the conditions after arrival are not what was agreed, we try to sort it out with you and the worker. The guarantee runs for 60 days from the first working day: if the worker doesn't work out in that time, we look for a replacement at no new fee.

For speed, we need you too.

A candidate arrives quickly when the employer gets in touch within the deadline we agreed together in the contract, and then sticks to what was agreed.

If you get in touch later, the candidate goes to another employer. That is how the labour market works, and we can't change it.

Since 2020 we have processed several thousand candidates, and we know what it takes for a worker to arrive quickly. That's why we only ask you for what speeds up the worker's arrival.

References available on request.

Most of our clients work in industries where competitors actively poach staff. That is why we share references only after a first conversation and a signed NDA. After that, just ask us for them.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can you deliver a candidate?

We present the first qualified candidate within 15 working days of signing the order. When the worker arrives at your site depends on the permit procedure (seasonal work 30 to 45 days, standard 45 to 90 days).

What does the replacement guarantee cover?

The guarantee runs for 60 days from the worker's first working day. If in that period the worker leaves or doesn't match the agreed profile, we look for a replacement at no new fee. It covers both a worker who leaves on their own and a dismissal by the employer because the worker doesn't match the profile.

Do you charge workers any fees?

No. Croatian law prohibits charging workers for placement. The employer pays all fees.

Which countries do you source from?

Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia and Montenegro (Western Balkans), and other markets on request.

Where do you place workers?

Mainly Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Italy and Croatia. Other EU countries case by case.
