Licensed recruitment of skilled Filipino professionals for Polish employers. Your company is the direct employer — we run selection in Manila, the Polish permit process and the Philippine exit formalities end to end. From 1 worker.
Every Polish project runs on the same backbone: you define the roles, headcount and start date; our own DMW-licensed agency in Manila, Prime Search, sources and trade-tests candidates; you approve the shortlist (on-site or online); and we manage the Polish permit process under your power of attorney while the Philippine side — contract verification, medical, pre-departure orientation and the Overseas Employment Certificate — runs in parallel. The employment contract is signed and verified before departure; your new employee lands, completes local onboarding and clocks in.
The Polish specifics below are the part that makes Poland different from every other market we serve.
Work permit (type A) and national visa D. The employer applies for a work permit at the regional Voivodeship Office; with the permit, the worker obtains a national visa in Manila and can later switch to a temporary residence and work permit. Poland's 2025 reform (in force 1 June 2025) made applications fully electronic and abolished the traditional labour-market test; Filipino workers have become a fast-growing group in manufacturing and logistics.
Labour-market test: No traditional labour-market test since 1 June 2025. Local authorities may instead adopt lists of occupations for which work permits will not be issued.
Shortage occupations: No shortage list is needed since the labour-market test was abolished; watch instead for locally adopted restriction lists. Demand for production and logistics staff is high.
Deploying a Filipino worker abroad is regulated by the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). Filipino workers in Poland fall under the MWO with jurisdiction for Poland; we confirm the current assignment before deployment. The verified contract, together with the job order approved by the DMW, allows the worker to obtain the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) — the exit clearance without which no Filipino worker can legally leave for a job abroad. Pre-employment orientation, medical examination at a DOH-accredited medical clinic authorised to examine overseas Filipino workers and pre-departure orientation complete the sequence. Because we operate the licensed agency ourselves, this runs in parallel with the Polish permit rather than after it.
Typical gate-to-gate time for Poland is 2–4 months from signed engagement to the first arrival, driven mainly by the Polish permit and the embassy appointment in Manila. Sourcing and trade testing usually take two to four weeks and are not on the critical path. We give you a written timeline for your specific role before you commit.
Sectors where Polish employers most often hire Filipino workers through us:
Our contractual partner is the employer, and it is the employer we invoice for the service. You receive an individual offer for Poland covering sourcing, trade testing, documentation, the permit process and arrival support — there is no price list, because volumes, roles and the Polish route differ from project to project. Direct employment means the worker's wage is paid by you under your Polish contract; there is no intermediary employer.
A Polish employer briefs us on roles and headcount. Within two to four weeks we present trade-tested candidates from Manila with video assessments; the employer interviews online and approves. We file the work permit under power of attorney while Prime Search completes the DMW documentation. The employment contracts are signed and MWO-verified before departure; on arrival the workers complete registration and local onboarding and start on the floor — with our team reachable for the first months of integration. Whether the project is one specialist or a full shift, the mechanics are identical.
Usually faster — permit and visa can be done in two to four months when documents are ready.
Not for the permit. Most Polish plants run mixed-language teams; we brief candidates in English and provide basic Polish safety vocabulary.
The permit is tied to the employer; a change requires a new application.
