Registering with us is free. We look for a job that matches your experience and tell you which documents you need for the work permit. Once you start working, contact us if the conditions aren't what was agreed.
You can reach us at +385 91 514 0192 or job@peoplepons.com. We reply in English, Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, Montenegrin and Macedonian.
Between applying and your first working day there is a lot of paperwork and travel. We go through that part with you.
Before we suggest a job, we talk to the employer about terms, pay and accommodation, so you know the conditions before you decide. In the end, you judge the company and the conditions yourself. We are an intermediary and do not vouch for the employer.
We tell you exactly which documents you need, where to get them and how to have them translated. You don't have to piece it together from forums.
If the job requires a work permit or visa, you get a list of the documents you need to collect and how long each one stays valid. You collect the documents yourself, and the employer submits the permit application.
We agree the arrival date and transport with the employer. You know in advance when and where you are travelling.
Before you arrive, the employer gives you information about accommodation and conditions. If something isn't right after you arrive, we help you sort it out with the employer.
Once you start working, you deal with questions about the job directly with the employer. You agreed your pay and conditions before you arrived. Contact us if the job or the conditions are not what was agreed, and we will try to put things right with the employer.
We explain each step before it starts. You know what you need to bring, what we do and how long it takes.
Message Leo, our AI assistant, on WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram or in the chat on our website. Applying takes about ten minutes and you don't need a CV. If you can't finish in one go, continue later.
A short conversation in person or by video call about your experience, the job you want, your expectations (pay, accommodation, arrival date) and what we can realistically find.
When we find a good match, we send the employer our summary of your profile: the position you applied for, that you accept the employer's conditions, and what you told us about your work experience. We always ask you first, and we never send the summary anywhere without your consent.
Once you agree with the employer, you get an exact list of documents for the work permit (if needed) and other paperwork. You collect the documents yourself, and we tell you how long each one stays valid and when to get it.
We coordinate arrival, transport and accommodation (if the employer provides it). On your first working day you have a contact person both at the employer and with us.
A worker from BiH, Serbia, North Macedonia or Montenegro with a valid work permit in Croatia has the same employment rights as a Croatian citizen. If someone tells you otherwise, something is wrong.
(For work in other EU countries, the rules of that country apply. Ask us what applies in your case.)
Go through these points before you sign:
If something is unclear or doesn't seem right, ask us before you sign.
We also answer the uncomfortable questions that rarely get discussed. If your question isn't here, get in touch.
No. Placement is free for workers, and the employer pays the fee. We don't ask for a deposit, advance payment for an interview or a registration fee. If anyone asks you for money in our name, tell us right away.
It depends on the job. For some jobs, good health and willingness to work are enough. For skilled trades (welders, drivers, caregivers) we ask for proof of qualifications. Get in touch and we'll assess it together.
It depends on the job, the sector, the country you're coming from, how long the work permit takes (if you need one) and how quickly the employer replies. That's why we can't guarantee a timeline in advance. We'll give you an estimate once we've assessed your profile and the job you're looking for.
The basic documents are a passport (valid for at least 6 more months), a birth certificate, a criminal record certificate and proof of qualifications if the job requires them. Some countries and jobs also require a medical certificate. We'll give you the exact list when we start the process.
The employer usually provides accommodation, but conditions vary. The employer writes them into the cooperation agreement with us before we start looking for candidates, and we pass them on to you before you sign the employment contract. You'll know whether accommodation is included, how much it costs (if it's deducted from your pay), how many people share a room and where it is. In the agreement with us, the employer commits to these conditions.
Call us first. Problems with a foreman, accommodation or shifts can often be solved by talking. No one can force you to stay. If it really doesn't work out, we can look for a job with another employer, and we'll go through the reason for leaving together.
Yes. Under Croatian law, a foreign national with a work permit has the same employment rights as a local worker: minimum wage, overtime pay, annual leave, sick leave and health insurance. Similar rules apply in Germany, Austria, Slovenia and other EU countries, where national law and EU directives protect these rights. Your employment contract must state them explicitly.
You decide. Before we send your profile to any employer, we ask you and describe the job, the company and the conditions. If you don't like it, we send nothing. We never talk anyone into a job they don't want.
Work permits are issued by the authorities of the country where you'll work. We tell you which documents you need, but we don't decide on the permit. If it's refused (for example because of incomplete documents, a recorded penalty or a previous deportation), we'll try to find out why and, if possible, fix the problem and repeat the process. You owe us nothing for our service.
It depends on the country, the type of work permit and your status after some months or years of work. Most EU countries allow family reunification under certain conditions (a stable job, income, accommodation). You handle that process yourself with the authorities of the country where you work. We can point you in the right direction, but we don't run the process.
