Why verify before you hire?

Hiring a foreign national in Poland means getting a work permit, and not every candidate qualifies. Nationality, education, salary, and job type all play a role. If something doesn’t line up, the permit gets refused, and you’ve wasted weeks.

Our pre-hire verification gives you a clear answer before you commit. We check the candidate’s profile against current requirements and tell you whether the permit is realistic, and which route to take.

How we help before you hire

You send the candidate’s CV and the job details. We check nationality, salary and job type against current rules and voivodeship practice, and advise which route fits: employer declaration, work permit, Blue Card or a combined permit. You receive a written assessment with a realistic timeline. If the candidate qualifies, the permit application starts from it.

What we check, and what you get

What we check

Nationality and visa status

Some nationalities have simplified procedures (e.g. the employer declaration route for Ukrainian citizens), while others require the full permit process.

Timeframe

When can your hire actually start? We estimate how long the permit process will take, so you can plan onboarding around reality, not hope.

Salary requirements

Certain permit types have minimum salary thresholds. The EU Blue Card, for instance, requires at least 150% of the previous year’s average national wage: 13,355.34 PLN gross per month for 2026 applications.

Permit type recommendation

Based on the above, we recommend the best route: standard work permit, EU Blue Card, employer declaration, or a combined work-and-residence permit.

When to use this service

Use this before you extend a job offer to a non-EU candidate, before you start a work permit process, or when you’re unsure which permit type applies. It’s particularly useful if you’re hiring from a country you haven’t recruited from before, or if the role has unusual requirements.

Employee verification: frequently asked questions

How long does the verification take?

2 business days after we receive the candidate’s details. For complex cases, it may take a few days longer.

What information do you need from us?

The candidate’s nationality, passport details, education and professional qualifications, and the job you’re offering them (position, salary, contract type, working hours). A CV is ideal.

Can you then help with the work permit application?

Yes. If the assessment is positive, we move straight on to the permit application with you. The route and the documents are already known, so nothing is checked twice.
