Sourcing and screening
We target candidates from our own database and regional sources. We verify experience, previous employers and motivation. We only present those who pass our filter.
For Employers
Workers from the Western Balkans, hired directly by you — on your contract, your processes.
People Pons is a Croatian employment mediation agency with MR licenses since 2020. We find, screen and prepare candidates from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, North Macedonia and Montenegro — and you hire them directly, on your terms.
What we concretely offer
The whole process, one responsible party.
From defining the need to the first working day. We don't bounce you from contact to contact — you have one cooperation manager throughout the entire engagement.
Permits and administration (when needed)
If a candidate needs a work permit or visa, we coordinate with legal partners and with you. We prepare documentation required from the employer and handle communication with the candidate in their home country. We don't promise dates — this part has real uncertainties.
Registrations and formalities
All mandatory worker registrations per local regulations of the country of work. We clearly communicate what you need to sign and when — no last-minute surprises.
Arrival logistics
We coordinate arrival date, transport and document check before departure from the home country — so the worker arrives ready to start.
Onboarding support
We're available during the first weeks of work for both you and the worker. Questions about accommodation, administration and integration we solve together.
Replacement guarantee
We define a probation period and replacement terms in the contract. If the candidate doesn't fit within the agreed period, we continue searching at no extra fee.

Pricing and terms
Transparent, no hidden line items.
The fee is formed according to the worker's country of origin, position type and number of people. We send the price and all terms in a written offer before the contract — you're not obliged to sign anything until you confirm it works for you.
- One-time fee per hired worker, defined by contract.
- No subscription, no monthly fixed costs.
- State fees (work permits, visas) are itemised separately in the offer — you see the exact amount before signing.
- Replacement guarantee within a defined period included.

Questions we most often get from employers
If the answer isn't here, get in touch — questions before signing are always welcome.
Do you become the formal employer of the worker?
No. People Pons is a mediation agency, not a temporary work agency in the sense of labour leasing. The worker is employed directly by you, under your employment contract and rulebook.
How long does it typically take to get first candidates?
Target is 15 working days from signing the cooperation contract to presenting the first qualified candidates. In urgent cases, when we have candidates in our database matching the profile, we react even faster.
What if none of the presented candidates fit?
We continue with a second round — at no extra fee. We work until we find a candidate matching both your technical and cultural criteria.
Can I get your GDPR documentation and processing agreement?
Yes. We send the complete DPA (Data Processing Agreement) before cooperation starts. All candidate data is stored within the EU, in compliance with GDPR.
Do you work with employers outside Croatia?
Yes. We regularly work with clients in Germany, Austria and Slovenia. We know the specifics of local regulations and work with legal partners where needed.
Do we retain control over candidate selection?
Fully. We present candidates with CV and our own comment. You decide who to invite for interview and who to hire — the selection process remains in your hands.
A conversation before anything else.
The first call is free and without obligation. From it you get a clear picture: are we the right fit for your situation, how much it costs and how long it takes.
