Employment of Record in the context of Software Developers – what is it?
Employment of Record (EOR) is an employment business model that allows companies to hire IT specialists from different countries without having to purchase or establish a local legal entity.
What are the advantages of Employment of Record in Poland
Employment of Record (EOR) in Poland offers many benefits that are especially attractive to international companies and those planning to expand to the Polish market. Here are some of its benefits:
Employment of Record guarantees a fast recruitment process
EOR services speed up the hiring process, enabling companies to respond faster to dynamically changing market needs. EOR also facilitates access to a wider pool of talent, which is crucial in the face of global competition.
Employment of Record reduces administrative costs
EOR takes full responsibility for employment-related responsibilities, such as managing payroll, insurance and other HR formalities, allowing companies to focus on strategic business activities.
The issue of regulation and risk reduction in EOR
EOR guarantees full compliance with local labor law, which is especially important for companies unfamiliar with the Polish legal system. Thanks to this, companies minimize the risk of violating employment and tax regulations.
Using Employment of Record allows companies to minimize the risk associated with establishing a permanent place of business in Poland. This allows companies to explore the market without having to rent an office or register a local company.
Additional support with EOR
EOR often provides additional support in the onboarding and employee benefits management, which increases the attractiveness of the offer for potential employees.

Benefits preferred by IT specialists
The topic of employee benefits is important in the hiring and recruitment of IT specialists. Depending on the individual needs of the employee, we can also talk about different benefits. In our report we managed to verify which benefits were most desired by IT specialists in 2023.
It includes: the possibility of remote work, flexible working hours and a medical package.
In recent years, remote work has gained popularity, but recently there has been a decrease in the number of job offers that provide this type of work. Due to the continued interest in this type of work, it is worth considering the option of adding it to your job offers.

IT recruitment process
According to data from the report, IT specialists prefer a recruitment process that consists of a maximum of two stages and ends with the signing of a contract maximum 2 weeks after the employer receives the candidate’s CV. The most frequently preferred methods of verifying candidates’ competences are a technical interview, a business interview and a remote task (so-called homework).
It turns out that in the recruitment process, IT specialists primarily value time and accuracy – it is therefore worth investing in appropriate tools to verify the candidate’s competences in order to verify the actual skills and whether they match the job requirements as best and as quickly as possible.
