What we do

Permanent recruitment

We screen, interview and place workers on permanent contracts, and coordinate the documentation, the right-to-work procedure, the visa, travel and residence steps through to arrival.

How it works

Six stages, from shortlist to arrival

What we do at each stage, in the order it happens, on every permanent recruitment placement.

  1. Profile

    We build the candidate’s profile against your role and screen the CV before you see it.

  2. Interview & testing

    Online interview, and a skills or work trial in the candidate’s home country where needed.

  3. Documentation

    We prepare the employment and immigration file with the candidate, then submit the application on the relevant state platform and track it.

  4. Right to work & visa

    We support the right-to-work process and long-stay visa for employment in the destination country, in line with local requirements.

  5. Travel & arrival

    Once the visa is issued, we coordinate the journey, arrival and the first days on site.

  6. Residence & post-deployment

    After arrival we arrange the residence permit (or local equivalent), then stay the contact for the length of the placement.

Documentation and legal details
  1. ProfileWe build the candidate's profile against your role and screen the CV before you see it.
  2. Interview & testingOnline interview, and a work trial in the candidate's home country.
  3. DocumentationWe prepare the employment and immigration file with the candidate, then lodge the single application on the state platform and track it. Romania ended the separate work permit on 8 August 2026.OUG 32/2026 closed the aviz de angajare and moved the whole file onto WorkinRomania.gov.ro, run by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The same ordinance made the job itself a condition: the procedure can only be started if the occupation appears on the List of Shortage Occupations. The Ministry of Labour approved the list in force on 6 August 2026 — 289 occupations, each named by its COR code — and revises it twice a year. We publish no duration for this step. The decision belongs to the state, and it and the consulate appointment are the two things that set the pace of a placement — neither is ours to hurry.
  4. Right to work & visaLong-stay visa for employment, D/AM1 or D/AM2. The single application is lodged on the state platform, and the visa is issued by the Romanian consulate in the candidate's country.The state fee for a long-stay visa has been 300 EUR since 27 April 2026. Every application now has to carry travel medical insurance covering at least 30,000 EUR for the whole validity of the visa — emergency treatment, hospitalisation and repatriation.
  5. Travel & arrivalOnce the visa is issued, we coordinate the journey, the arrival and the first days on site.The long-stay visa is issued for 90 days. That is the window the worker has to travel and apply for residence, not an estimate of how long the consulate takes.
  6. Residence & post-deploymentAfter arrival we arrange the residence permit, then stay the contact for the length of the placement.The application has to be made before the 90-day visa runs out. Once the right of residence is granted, the worker has 10 days to book the appointment where the fingerprints and the photograph are taken. The authorities have 30 days to decide the application, extendable by 15 days where further checks are needed and, in exceptional and justified cases, by up to 30 days more.

What this actually is

What permanent recruitment means

A permanent placement is a worker you employ directly, on an open-ended contract, sourced from outside the EU. We find them, test them and carry every step the state requires between those two facts; the employment relationship is yours from the first day.

What it covers

  • Candidate profile built and CV screened against your role
  • Online interview, and a work trial in the candidate's home country
  • The single application filed on the Romanian state platform and tracked
  • Visa processing for the long-stay entry
  • Residence permit arranged on arrival
  • Ongoing consultation for the duration of the placement
How an order runs, from the first call to the arrival

The employer's side of a placement, in the order the company has always drawn it. The permit chain above is the legal half; this is what happens between us and you.

  1. First contactA conversation about the trade, the site, the head count and the start date you are working towards.
  2. The requirementThe role, the skills, the conditions and the number of people, written down and agreed before anyone is approached.
  3. SelectionOur recruiters in the source country screen against that requirement, not against a general pool.
  4. InterviewsShortlisted candidates are interviewed online, with you in the call whenever you want to be.
  5. Practical trialThe trade is tested in the candidate's home country — at the machine, on the bench, in the kitchen.
  6. Your decisionYou accept the candidates you want. Nobody is placed on our say-so.
  7. The formalitiesThe single application, the visa and the residence permit — filed and tracked by us.
  8. BriefingThe candidate is briefed on the job, the country and what is expected; you are briefed on what is arriving.
  9. The contractThe individual employment contract is signed, naming the employer and the role.
  10. ArrivalThe worker lands, is met, and starts. We stay the contact for the length of the placement.

Advantages

Why employers use us for this

  • A shortage-list check before anything else

    Romania only allows the file where the occupation appears on the Ministry of Labour's List of Shortage Occupations. We check that first, and tell you on the day if a role cannot legally be filled.

  • Tested before you ever see a CV

    An online interview and a work trial in the candidate's home country come before the profile reaches you, so what you are judging is the work, not the paperwork.

  • One file, carried to the first day

    The single application on the state platform, the long-stay visa, the residence permit and the arrival itself — one team, one contact, one file.

  • The added value

    • The employer pays. OUG 32/2026 forbids taking any commission or fee from the worker, and we publish that rule rather than bury it.
    • No timeline the authorities control is promised — the state's decision and the consulate appointment set the pace, and we say so before you sign.
    • A signed contract naming the employer and the role exists before anybody travels.

When to choose it

When this is the right one

  1. The role is a standing one and you want the person on your own payroll.

  2. Local recruitment has not filled it, and the occupation appears on the List of Shortage Occupations.

  3. You would rather keep the same crew than rebuild one every season.

Questions we get asked

Who pays for the permit and the visa?

Not the candidate. The placement fee, the state fees for the single application and the visa, and any connected service you order all sit on the employer's side of the contract, and we set them out in the quote before you commit — OUG 32/2026 forbids charging the worker, and nobody we place pays a placement fee.

How long does a permanent placement take end to end?

From signed order to first day, most placements run three to five months. The single application on the state platform and the visa appointment are the two steps that set the pace, and neither is ours to hurry.

What exactly is a permanent placement?

A worker from outside the EU on an open-ended contract with your company, on your payroll and under your direction. We find and test the person, file every step the state requires and stay the contact after arrival; the employment relationship is yours from the first day, not ours.

What do we need to have in order before you can file?

A registered company in good standing with the tax authority, a written job description with the pay and conditions on offer, an occupation that appears on the List of Shortage Occupations, and — where you are providing it — the accommodation. We send the exact list of documents with the quote and check them before anything is filed, so a file is not refused on a form.

What happens if the worker leaves or does not work out?

The contract is yours, so notice and the end of employment follow the Labour Code like any other employee's; we tell you which notifications the immigration authority requires from the employer and file them with you. Then we look at why, and at another worker from the same screened pool — on a new file, because an application names one worker and is not transferable. We do not dress this up as a promise: the next worker runs the same chain, at the state's pace.

Can a seasonal hire become a permanent one?

Yes, if both sides want it. The worker is already known to you and to the state, so the file that exists carries most of what a permanent application needs; we refile it as a permanent placement rather than extend the seasonal stay, because the two are different categories on the same application.

This chain describes one journey. The full immigration practice — including a business visa, a secondment or a residence case that isn't part of a placement — is covered on the immigration services page.
