Your contract, your terms
The worker signs your employment contract under your collective agreement. No posting, no A1 forms, no hirer's liability for an agency in the chain.

Why direct hire
The worker is yours. Making sure they arrive and stay is on us.
We are not a temp agency. We do not resell hours with a mark-up – we find the person who matches your brief and hand them over on your contract.
No margin on the hour
You pay the worker's wage and us a flat service fee of €5 per hour worked. You know exactly what an hour costs – today and in two years.
Vetting, not CV forwarding
Personal interview with every candidate, qualification documents verified, references from the last employers, language level tested. You receive 2 – 4 profiles, not 20.
Start dates that hold
We drive the worker from their home to your housing in our own vehicle on the agreed day. You receive an arrival confirmation, not an apology.
The first weeks under control
Registrations, documents, housing and site rules explained to the worker in Slovak. Most early leavers quit in the first 8 weeks over misunderstandings – we handle those.
Permanent replacement guarantee
If the worker leaves – at any time, not only in the trial period – we find a replacement at no additional cost. We stay in contact with them and with you throughout.
Profiles
Who we recruit and what you can expect.
Slovak tradespeople are used to working abroad: many have years of experience in Austria, Germany and the Benelux and return for long-term contracts when housing and communication are right.

- 03
Your decision and contract

- 04
Arrival and the first 90 days
We drive the worker from home to your site, confirm arrival and check in regularly with them and with you. Issues get solved before they become resignations.
Fees and terms
One rate. Nothing upfront.
You pay only for hours the worker actually works. If nobody starts, you pay nothing.
€5 per hour worked
A flat service fee for every hour the worker works for you – the same rate for the whole employment, no increases. Invoiced monthly against your hours report.
Replacement included
The fee covers sourcing, vetting, paperwork, transport to your site, onboarding support and the permanent replacement guarantee.
Two-page terms
Scope, rate, hours reporting, guarantee and data protection in plain English. No exclusivity, no minimum term.
Are you a temporary employment agency?
No. We are a licensed recruitment company (Slovak Act No. 5/2004 on employment services). The worker becomes your employee under your local conditions. We do not post workers and we do not resell hours – the hourly service fee is our remuneration for recruitment, transport and ongoing care, invoiced separately from the wage you pay the worker.
How does €5 per hour compare with a placement fee?
A typical placement fee is 15 – 25 % of annual salary, paid upfront, with a 2 – 3 month guarantee. Our fee is spread over the hours actually worked, starts only when the worker starts and carries a replacement guarantee for the whole employment. Your risk is zero before day one.
Which languages do the candidates speak?
Tradespeople typically have basic to good English and often German; crew leads are selected for communication. Care workers receive language preparation before arrival. The tested level is stated in every profile.
How is transport to our site organised?
Our transport division drives the worker from their home anywhere in Slovakia directly to your housing or site on the agreed day – included in the service, with an SMS to the worker the day before and a confirmation to you.
Can you supply complete crews?
Yes. For installation and mechanical projects we present complete crews of 2 – 6 with a lead worker who speaks English or German, available for rotations of 2 – 6 weeks.
Who do we talk to?
Peter Kubišta is your first contact for briefs and terms; Matúš Belko manages the agency and logistics. Both speak English; office hours Mon – Fri 8:00 – 17:00 CET.
