Employment law, notice periods, contractor status and language requirements change at every border in Europe. We work market by market — with offices in five of them and coverage across seven more.

Where we operate

Europe country by country

Hiring conditions, notice periods and compliance differ enough between these markets that treating the region as one place gets programmes into trouble.

What we do here

How we support organisations across Europe

  • Contract & interim resourcing

    Day-rate specialists across every market, with local employment and status rules handled before anyone is put forward.

  • Permanent search

    Retained and contingent search for senior technology roles, run in the local language where the role requires it.

  • Nearshore delivery teams

    Blended teams spanning a Western European lead and Central European delivery, in the same working day.

  • S/4HANA programmes

    The 2027 ECC deadline is driving the largest single source of demand we see across DACH and the Nordics.

  • Compliance & payroll

    Right-to-work, AÜG, IR35 and local payroll arrangements, with audit-ready records for every placement.

  • Multi-country programmes

    One point of contact for a rollout touching five countries, rather than five local agencies and five contracts.

The Europe market

What we see on the ground

Language is a real filter
Client-facing SAP roles in Germany and France usually need working German or French. English-only briefs narrow the field far more than clients expect, and the gap shows up as time-to-hire rather than a flat 'no'.
Contractor status rules differ everywhere
IR35 in the UK, AÜG in Germany, and separate regimes in the Netherlands and Nordics. Getting this wrong is expensive for the client, not just the contractor — we assess before advertising.
Nearshore has become the default
Prague, Bratislava, Warsaw and Bucharest now absorb work that would once have gone to India, because same-timezone collaboration is worth the cost difference for change-heavy programmes.
Hybrid settled at two or three days
Most European enterprise clients have landed on the same pattern. Fully on-site briefs narrow the field sharply, particularly in Germany and the Nordics.
