Recently, Poland has grown as a leading location for recruiting top talent in Europe. As companies grow and seek ways to expand their global footprint, Poland has become a leader in hiring talent through Employer of Record (EOR) services. Poland boasts a highly skilled workforce, a strong economy, and a strategic, central location in Europe which has led to it becoming an ideal choice for companies looking to grow their talent.
Here are 5 reasons why Poland is a prime location for you to research as you look to expand your organization’s global footprint.
1. Skilled Workforce
The top factor that is drawing companies' eyes to Poland is the availability of well-educated, skilled workers. Universities in Poland are known for their ability to turn out top-tier graduates, specifically in the fields of engineering, information technology, and finance. Poland also has higher rates of post-secondary education in the European region which helps ensure that there continues to be qualified talent entering the workforce.
Tech and IT Sector Growth
Technological talent has been a growing field in Poland, and they are quickly becoming known as the technology center for Europe. Workers in Poland are known for their proficiency in multiple programming languages. Poland also offers access to top IT talent at often lower costs compared to other European countries.
Multilingual Abilities
Many Polish workers are also proficient in English, which makes them extremely valuable talent in the tech and service industries. This often allows them to communicate seamlessly across international teams. While English is a valuable resource, many Polish workers are often fluent in additional European languages such as German or French, making them an asset for growing international companies.
2. Cost-Effective Hiring
Cost of living in Poland is relatively low compared to other locations, which can help lead to decreased costs for companies. As workers generally have lower salary expectations compared to other tech and business hotspots, this allows companies to have decreased costs for operations, salaries and benefits. These cost saving benefits can make Poland a very attractive location for companies to maximize their budget while expanding their international presence.

3. Location in Europe
Poland lies at the crossroads of Western and Eastern Europe, making it a natural hub for trade, transportation, and logistics. This central location provides businesses with easy access to major European market. Plus, the Central European Time Zone (CET) can help make it easier for communication with offices and customers across the region.
4. Stability in Legal and Regulatory Compliance
One of the challenges businesses face when expanding globally is navigating complex legal and compliance requirements. However, Poland, as an EU member, offers legal and regulatory stability that simplifies this process (TCWGlobal can help too!!). The country adheres to EU-wide labor laws, data protection regulations (such as GDPR), etc. that contributes to creating a stable business environment
Use of Employer of Record (EOR) Services to Simplify Hiring
Companies looking to expand their teams across the globe can be faced with additional administrative complexities if they do this on their own. Complexities such as opening and running a legal entity, complying with local tax regulations, and overseeing worker contracts and benefits all contribute to make hiring globally more challenging. However, utilizing an Employer of Record (EOR) service provider, like TCWGlobal, can help take care of all of that! From employment contracts, tax filings, and required benefits, an EOR will help make hiring in Poland much more stress-free.
