Build your own tech team
vs. outsourcing

There are many ways to build IT capabilities in Poland, but your success or failure will ultimately depend on the quality of your people. Building your own team in Poland is a great way to keep your IP in-house, while embedding your culture and values across the locations where you’re present.

A decision to build your own team in Poland increases the importance of finding the right people. That means the right skills, the right cultural fit, and the right availability. The MOTIFE Recruitment team can help you or handle every step of the process so you can enjoy the benefits of hiring in Poland and devoting time only when you really need to. 

Where to start?

Understanding the market

We start by introducing you to the Poland IT landscape and walking you through the key points of Polish labor law. 

This will help you understand the main dos and don’ts of hiring in Poland, legal constraints, as well as the budget required to fill popular roles.

Your Employer Value Proposition (EVP)

We’ll help you understand candidate expectations in Poland, market expectations, and the best ways to appeal to and attract top talent.

We will work with you to build strong messaging that reflects your brand positioning and values, and will help you appeal to tech talent here in Poland.

A team of experienced recruiters

We will assign a team of recruiters, who will work closely with your hiring and HR teams to prepare, execute, and complete your recruitment projects. 

MOTIFE recruiters will capture your goals, expectations, and any constraints of the hiring project, and will help define the compensation package offered for each position.

When to use recruitment with an external agency?

When entering a new market, an obvious choice for many companies is to hire candidates using their own recruitment team. To be successful with this option, a company needs to build a recruitment function in the chosen location, as hiring with a remote recruitment team rarely works.

Building one’s own team, however, is an investment which requires time and can slow down initial growth. Hiring with just an internal team is in most cases slower compared with hiring external agencies. Recruiting for senior IT roles can be particularly difficult with only an internal team due to a limited database, relations with candidates, and a need for in-depth knowledge of the market. An in-house recruitment scenario is often chosen when the demand for recruitment is high in the longer perspective, but a slow start is acceptable and when there is no budget for external recruitment agency fees.

To decrease the hiring cost, but to keep a fast pace, companies often choose a hybrid mode when they start with an agency and then continue with a mix of internal, agency and potentially RPO consultants.

Solutions tailored to you: 
Contingency recruitment + RPO

For complex recruitment projects or specific business circumstances, it could be beneficial to blend contingency recruitment and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) services. MOTIFE offers both services and can support your business with a custom recruitment model.
