Here are the most common challenges you’ll face when entering the Polish market – and how we help solve them as a business partner.
Are you…
- planning to enter the Polish market?
- already here, but something’s not working?
“It’s Just a Job Posting “
The Challenge: Founders look at salary ranges on Polish Job boards and think ” senior Java for 15k PLN? Great!” Then they discover that the good senior wants 25k PLN + a benefits package worth another 3k PLN monthly.
- Provide real salary benchmarks for specific roles and levels
- Explain local specifics: why product companies pay differently than software houses or fintech
- Help construct competitive packages without overpaying
- Show what actually motivates Polish developers (spoiler: it’ s not always money)
“Where Are All the DevOps Engineers?”
The Challenge: Company needs a senior DevOps ” yesterday.” Gets 3 CVs in 2 weeks, the best specialists don ‘t apply themselves or want more than the company can offer.
- Sourcing strategy: we know where to look to find candidates with the most matching skillset who will fit seamlessly into your organization ‘ s culture
- Employer branding: we build you as an attractive employer before candidates see the offer, reaching candidates directly
- Alternative profiles: we show that a candidate meeting 70% of requirements with huge motivation might be exactly what your company needs
“But I Spoke English”
The Challenge: CEO or CTO conducts interviews in English and doesn ‘t understand why candidates seem ” withdrawn and quiet” or withdraw after the first conversation.
- Cultural pre-screening: we check not just
- English skills, but comfort working in international environments
- Candidate preparation: we explain your corporate culture to them
- Teach you Polish realities: why asking about family might be poorly received
- Help adapt your recruitment process to local expectations
“What are you actually doing?”
The Challenge: Candidate has 3 offers simultaneously. Your company is the least known. You ‘ re losing not on price, but on brand recognition.
- Storytelling: we tell your company ‘ s story in a way that resonates with Polish developers
- Networking: we leverage our contacts from years in the industry
- Speed: we ensure the recruitment process runs smoothly because we know every day counts in IT
- Follow-up: we nurture candidates who say ” no ” today but might say ” yes ” next year because they like the company
“He Signed and Disappeared”
The Challenge: Great candidate signs the contract, works for a month, and leaves. Company is left with nothing and has to start over.
- Honest preview: we present a realistic picture of the work, not just the benefits
- Onboarding support: we help design the first weeks so new hires feel part of the team
- Check-ins after 30/60/90 days: we monitor satisfaction and react to early warning signs
- Exit follow-up: when someone leaves, we help understand why
“But in Germany it was different”
The Challenge: HR processes, communication styles, work expectations – everything seems different from the home country.
- Cultural crash course: we explain how Polish developers work
- Process adaptation: we help adjust your standards to local realities
- Manager mentoring: we teach how to effectively manage Polish teams
- Feedback loops: we create communication channels to catch problems before they escalate
