We also answer the uncomfortable questions that rarely get discussed. If your question isn't here, get in touch.
Do I have to pay you anything?
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.
Do I need secondary school or experience?
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.
How long will I wait for a job after applying?
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.
What documents do I need?
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.
Who provides accommodation?
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.
What if the job doesn't suit me once I arrive?
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.
Do I get the same conditions as a local worker?
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.
Who do you send my details to, and can I turn down an employer?
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.
What if my work permit isn't approved?
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.
Can I bring my family?
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.
