What matters for this hire
Set a first-year budget, including cash held as a deposit.
Compare the same salary, benefits and currency assumptions.
Agree the onboarding owner and exit terms before signing.
Buyer fit is a weighted average of the existing six criterion scores. Only providers with documented EOR coverage in Poland and all required scores enter this list. Ties use cost transparency and FX, then provider name.
A strong cost score does not guarantee the lowest quote. Salary, benefits, deposits and the proposed contract still matter.
The local ground rules
An EOR arrangement can fall within temporary-agency rules when the provider employs someone to work for and under the direction of a user employer.
The label alone does not decide the classification. For qualifying temporary work, the usual limit is eighteen months for the same user employer within thirty-six months; statutory exceptions apply, including certain replacement assignments. Obtain the provider’s legal-model explanation and applicable registration before signing.
Temporary Agency Workers Act · Public Employment Service: temporary work

HR leaders seeking local expertise, personal support and clear employment costs.
Local employment experts who explain the next step and take responsibility for helping you through it. No FX markup on payroll currency conversion. Itemised employment costs make funding and reconciliation easier to plan; exchange rates and other charges still matter.

Reach sales or an employment expert within 15 minutes. This is access, not an average response statistic. Calls answered immediately; major issues receive a response within one hour and minor matters within two hours. These are response times, not resolution times. An account specialist is assigned after signing, although customers sometimes meet them beforehand. They manage customer and employee onboarding as the single point of contact.
