Building and scaling AI teams is a major challenge for U.S. companies. Poland is emerging as one of Europe’s leading AI hubs, with top engineers in machine learning, data science, NLP, and automation, at around 35% lower cost than in the U.S. MOTIFE helps American and global tech businesses tap into this talent pool confidently.

Poland is a strong choice for companies looking to scale their AI capabilities. The country is home to more than 410,000 engineers and IT professionals, with around 19,000 computer science graduates entering the market every year. This steady influx of talent ensures a dynamic and competitive environment for hiring AI specialists.
Strong language skills further enhance Poland’s appeal. English proficiency among IT professionals is high, supported by a solid education system. In the 2024 EF English Proficiency Index, Poland ranked 15th globally with a “High” proficiency rating, making collaboration with international teams seamless and efficient.
Cost efficiency is another key advantage. The average annual salary of an AI engineer in Poland is around $82,000, compared to $130,000 in the United States. This cost–quality balance allows businesses to access highly skilled talent while optimizing budgets, without compromising on expertise or performance.
You need to hire quickly and at scale. Competition for AI and engineering talent is strong. A local partner has ready access to candidate networks and can shorten time-to-hire.
You’re unfamiliar with the Polish talent market. From salary benchmarks to skill availability, a partner provides the insights U.S. companies need to plan effectively.
You want to ensure compliance. Employment law, contracts, and HR processes differ from the U.S. A local firm helps you stay compliant and avoid costly mistakes.
You need to build trust with candidates. Top engineers prefer engaging through established local recruiters who understand the culture and job market.
You’re exploring long-term growth. Beyond filling roles, the right partner can advise on building, scaling, and retaining an entire engineering hub in Poland.
It usually takes between 4 and 8 weeks to hire an IT specialist in Poland (from creating and posting job descriptions, through to contract signing). After accepting an offer, candidates usually have a 1-month (calendar) notice period, although it can be up to 3 months.
