Key Takeaways

• Alcor is the best Employer of Record in Poland for Series D, late-stage, PE-backed, and public tech product companies that need 10–30+ engineers within 90 days without opening an entity. Its tech-exclusive EOR and COR run through an owned Polish entity, with Labor Code-compliant contracts, payroll and benefits, and IP assigned to the client from day one. New engineers onboard within 10 business days, and a personal Customer Operations Manager who knows your product and team handles every request.
• Pricing across the top EOR providers in Poland starts at $99 per employee per month at Native Teams and a flat €349 at EasyEoR. MOTIFE’s contractor tier starts at 10% of monthly compensation, while Neontri and Trenkwalder price by custom quote. Alcor offers tailored pricing based on each team’s size, roles, and locations, with volume discounts as the team grows and no setup fees, deposits, or exit fees.
• Before you sign, check each provider’s entity model, customer support, compliance depth, termination and severance handling, and platform visibility into payroll and invoices.
• For expansion across Europe, Native Teams and Trenkwalder cover several countries. For on-the-ground support, EasyEoR and MOTIFE are local Employer of Record partners in Poland. For pre-IPO companies, Trenkwalder and Neontri bring scale and regulated-industry experience. Alcor is the only provider built for all three: local depth in Poland, growth across Europe, and the predictability pre-IPO companies need.

6 Best Employer of Record Providers in Poland for 2027

The best Employer of Record providers in Poland for 2027 are Neontri, MOTIFE, Alcor, Native Teams, EasyEoR, and Trenkwalder. All six employ through a registered Polish entity. Pricing rates range from Native Teams’ entry rate of $99 and EasyEoR’s flat €349 per employee per month to custom quotes. Three handle employment only, leaving every hire to you. Alcor is the only one combining tech recruitment, EOR/COR, and operational support under one tech-exclusive software R&D center solution across Eastern Europe and Latin America.

Whether you’re shortlisting Employer of Record companies in Poland for your 2027 expansion or planning to move your team to a new local provider, you need four answers quickly:

• Who has a real local presence?
• Who has already done this for companies like yours?
• What does it cost?
• What do you get beyond payroll?

Additional Criteria for Evaluating EOR Providers in Poland

Beyond price and local presence, evaluate EOR companies in Poland on five criteria: entity model, customer support, compliance depth, termination and severance handling, and platform integrations. Together, they show who legally employs your engineers, how fast real people respond, whether ZUS, PPK, and BHP obligations are covered, who carries the risk when someone leaves, and how clearly you see payroll and invoices. Use them as your hiring checklist.

Entity model

First, find out who your engineers’ legal employer actually is. Some EOR agencies in Poland employ through their own entity, others route hires through a local partner, and some operate under a temporary work agency licence. EOR is lawful only where the service provider employs through a compliant local structure. Without one, the arrangement risks being treated as illegal hiring or creating permanent establishment (PE) exposure for your company. The temporary work model adds its own limit: an employee can be assigned to the same client for no more than 18 months within any 36-month period.

Ask: Which entity signs the employment contract, and does an 18-month limit apply to my team?

Customer support

A dashboard can handle routine payroll. The hard questions need a person: a sick-leave dispute, a stalled work permit, a benefits management change. Check whether you get a named contact or a ticket queue, what response times the SLAs guarantee, and whether support overlaps with your working hours. Poland is usually six hours ahead of New York. Local HR and legal specialists who know the Polish Labor Code are worth more than round-the-clock chat.

Ask: Who is my day-to-day contact, and how fast do they reply?

Compliance depth

In Poland, compliance and administration depth go well beyond running payroll. Strong EOR agencies in Poland:

• calculate employer social security contributions, which add roughly 20% on top of gross salary, and handle PIT withholding
• enroll staff in the PPK pension plan, where employers contribute 1.5% of pay
• organize mandatory BHP (health and safety) training and a medical check before an employee’s first day
• keep working-time records and personnel files ready for inspection
• process employee data in line with GDPR
• assign your engineers’ IP to you in the contract.

Inspections are getting sharper too. According to Alcor’s legal team, from 8 July 2026 Poland’s labour inspectorate (PIP) can reclassify B2B and civil-law contracts as employment by administrative decision, without a prior court ruling. Such a decision applies going forward, with no back-assessment of past taxes and contributions. A 12-month transition period also applies without PIP administrative penalties. The same amendment gives PIP access to tax (KAS) and social security (ZUS) data. If your team mixes employees and contractors, choose a provider that structures both models correctly from day one.

Ask: Which Polish employer obligations do you handle for us, and how do you keep our team compliant as labor rules change?

Termination and severance handling

Exits are where weak providers get exposed.

• Notice: under Polish law, it runs from 2 weeks (under 6 months’ tenure) to 3 months (3+ years).
• Justification: every dismissal must have one.
• Severance: employers with 20 or more staff pay 1–3 months’ salary for terminations for reasons not related to the employee, capped at 15× the minimum wage. An EOR usually employs more than 20 people, so in practice this applies.
• Extra protection: pregnant employees, people on leave, union representatives and those within 4 years of retirement.

Ask: Who drafts the termination notice, calculates final pay and carries the legal risk if a dismissal is challenged?

Platform integrations

If you run teams in several countries, check which EOR platform features fit your workflows. Look for live visibility of payroll and payments, PTO and benefits tracking, per-engineer invoices your finance team can reconcile line by line, and integrations with the HR tools you already use. Look closely at invoicing too. Salaries in Poland are usually paid in PLN, so ask which currency you’re billed in and what PLN/USD conversion rates the provider applies. A hidden FX margin adds up quickly across a 30-engineer payroll.

Ask: How much of our team data can we see in real time, and what exchange rate do you use?

1. Neontri. Best for Fintech Teams Mixing Outsourcing and EOR

Neontri is a Warsaw-based software company that mainly provides engineers through outsourcing and staff augmentation, with EOR as an add-on. It suits companies that already work with Neontri’s engineers, or that need an Employer of Record for hires they’ve found themselves. Its EOR covers onboarding, payroll, benefits, and offboarding, with pricing by custom quote.

Neontri is a Warsaw-based agency that offers EOR alongside its development and staffing services. Among the EOR providers in Poland on this list, it suits companies that have already sourced their engineers and only need a legal employer to hire them.

Ratings

• Clutch: 5.0 from 3 reviews
• G2: N/A

Pricing

A custom quote, based on the scope of services.

EOR platform

Neontri doesn’t advertise a self-serve EOR platform. Its team handles onboarding, HR administration, and payroll directly.

Advantages

• A clear five-step EOR process: agreement, your own recruitment, hiring and onboarding by Neontri, ongoing HR and payroll management, and offboarding under local rules.
• Covers fringe benefits, legal and tax compliance, and the onboarding paperwork.
• Positions EOR as a long-term employment model rather than short-term staffing.
• Can be combined with Neontri’s IT staff augmentation, RPO, permanent placement, and Try & Hire services.

Limitations

• Poland only, with one office in Warsaw and a team of 10–49 people.
• EOR is a side service. Neontri’s service mix is led by mobile and custom software development for banking, fintech, and insurance companies.
• Its Clutch reviews cover software development projects delivered by Neontri’s own engineers. None of them describe EOR or a client building its own in-house team through Neontri, so there’s no independent proof of its EOR service yet.
• Recruitment isn’t part of the EOR itself: the client finds and interviews candidates.

Primary use cases

• Employing engineers you’ve already found in Poland without opening an entity.
• Fintech and banking companies already working with Neontri on software projects.

2. MOTIFE. Best for First Tech Hires in Krakow

MOTIFE is one of the agencies for small and mid-market companies hiring their first engineers in Poland. It recruits and employs those hires in three EOR tiers, from contractor administration to a full local setup. Teams can later move to your own entity without a transfer fee. Coverage is Poland only, and pricing is published only for the entry tier.

MOTIFE is a small Krakow-based recruitment and consulting firm. It builds software engineering teams in Poland for clients headquartered in Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Its services span IT recruitment, executive search, staff augmentation, Build-Operate-Transfer, EOR, and office setup and operations management.

Ratings

• Clutch: 4.8 (based on 6 reviews)
• G2: N/A

Pricing

The Basic tier covers B2B contractors from 10% of monthly compensation. The Core and Custom tiers, which add employees on employment contracts, are priced on request.

EOR platform

MOTIFE doesn’t offer a self-serve platform. Clients get HR admin support and one monthly invoice, and the Custom tier adds a dedicated Operations Manager.

Advantages

• Recruitment and employment from one local partner: MOTIFE can source engineers in Poland and employ them under its EOR packages, so there’s no need for a separate recruitment partner.
• The scope of services grows from contractor administration to custom benefits, IT equipment, office search and setup, and work permit support for non-Poles.
• A defined onboarding time frame with up to 2 weeks for Polish and EU nationals, and typically 4–8 weeks for non-EU hires who need work permits

Limitations

• MOTIFE employs only in Poland, so companies planning teams in other regions need a second provider.
• Limited capacity for large ramp-ups. Clutch feedback points to a lean team. One client noted MOTIFE would need to scale up as demand grows, and another mentioned earlier staffing shortages.
• EOR is secondary to recruitment as recruiting and executive search make up 70% of its service mix, and most of its Clutch reviews cover recruitment rather than EOR.
• No self-serve platform or dashboard. Payroll data, employment contracts, and team records are shared on request rather than available in one place.

Primary use cases

• Small and mid-market companies making their first few engineering hires in Poland
• Testing the Polish market before committing to a local entity. MOTIFE charges no fee if the team later transfers to the client’s own entity.

3. Alcor. Best for Scaling Fully Owned Engineering Teams in Poland

Alcor is the best Employer of Record in Poland for Series D, late-stage, PE-backed and public tech product companies that need 10–30+ engineers without opening an entity. It combines tech recruitment, Employer of Record and Contractor of Record services, and operational support in one software R&D center service. Engineers report to the client’s CTO, IP is assigned from day one, and fees fall as the team grows.

Alcor is a tech-exclusive recruitment, EOR/COR, and operational support partner founded in 2017. It works with tech product companies whose HQs are in the US and Europe. In Poland, Alcor has an owned entity and compliant employment infrastructure:

• Employees are hired on employment contracts.
• B2B specialists are engaged through its Contractor of Record model.

Beyond Poland, Alcor provides EOR and COR across Eastern Europe and Latin America.

Ratings

• Clutch: 4.9/5 (based on 18 reviews)
• G2: 4.6/5

Pricing

Alcor uses custom pricing based on team size, roles, and locations, and publishes no starting rate. Instead of a flat PEPM fee, Alcor’s pricing model is a monthly percentage of the total turnover it manages for the team, meaning salaries plus expenses. That percentage falls automatically as the team grows, so volume discounts are built in across three tiers: small teams of 1–9 hires, medium teams of 10–30, and large teams of 30+.

The monthly fee includes employment, payroll, tax processing for FTE engineers, and a dedicated Customer Operations Manager. Alcor charges no setup fees, deposits, advance payments, or exit fees. There are no per-employee onboarding fees, and offboarding is free.

EOR platform

Alcor delivers EOR as a human-led service backed by AlcorOS, its client platform. In one dashboard, clients can see:

• team size and hiring activity
• payroll and payments audit
• benefits and PTO
• equipment tracking
• per-engineer invoicing that their finance team can reconcile line by line

Alcor’s in-house legal, finance, and operations teams handle contracts, filings and payroll outsourcing to Poland. The onboarding time frame is 10 business days.

Advantages

• Its 40+ in-house tech recruiters help companies hire software developers in Poland, sourcing from 325,000+ vetted candidates across Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Gdansk, and other locations. Its hiring itinerary is predictable: senior roles close in 2–6 weeks, and teams of 10–30 engineers are operational within 90 days.
• Engineers report to the client’s CTO, and every agreement assigns IP to the client. The team can move to the client’s own entity without a buyout fee.
• Operational support covers compensation benchmarking, office leasing, equipment procurement, relocation and visa support, employer branding, custom benefits packages, and a talent retention strategy.
• Alcor pairs human-led service with automation. AlcorOS gives live visibility into payroll, benefits, PTO, equipment and per-engineer invoices. A dedicated Customer Operations Manager and in-house legal, finance, and operations teams handle every request, contract, and filing.

Limitations

• Full EOR is available in a limited set of countries. Alcor’s other locations run on the Contractor of Record model.
• Alcor recruits and employs only engineering and tech roles, so companies hiring for other functions will find a closer fit with a generalist agency.
• Alcor fits companies hiring 10+ engineers. For one-off hires, a self-serve platform is simpler.
• AlcorOS supports the service but doesn’t replace it, so companies that want fully automated employment won’t get it here.

Primary use cases

• Series D and late-stage VC-backed companies that hit the US hiring wall for senior and AI/ML engineers. Sift, the AI-powered fraud prevention platform, built a 51-engineer R&D center in Eastern Europe with Alcor, with every engineer hired and employed as part of Sift’s own team.
• PE-backed software companies scaling engineering within a hold period or after an acquisition.
• Public and pre-IPO companies that need an engineering cost line the CFO can forecast.
• Companies relocating or consolidating engineering teams into Poland. Intel 471, a cyber threat intelligence provider, relocated 20 engineers to Poland in 4 weeks, and its EOR-backed R&D center was running within a month.

Other unicorns, late-stage and public companies have already scaled with Alcor. Hear from the tech leaders themselves:

4. Native Teams. Best for SMBs Hiring Across Several Countries

Native Teams is best for small businesses that hire individual employees in Poland and other countries through one self-serve platform. It employs staff through its own Polish entity at a published entry price of $99 per employee per month. Recruitment isn’t included, though, and most of its customers are small companies rather than scaling engineering organizations.

Native Teams is a global employment and payments platform registered in the UK. It was founded in 2020 to simplify payments for global work, launched payroll and compliance services in the Balkans in 2021, and then expanded globally. Today it operates in 95+ countries.

Ratings

• Clutch: N/A
• G2: 4.8/5 (based on 246 reviews)

Pricing

EOR starts at $99 per employee per month, and Contractor of Record at $99 per contractor per month. Custom quotes are available for every plan.

EOR platform

The Native Teams dashboard stores HR documents, and the platform handles payroll, statutory and optional benefits, and termination procedures. Clients add and manage employees themselves.

Advantages

• On G2, reviewers most often praise ease of use, easy and timely payments, payment management, and overall convenience.
• Its third-party ratings highlight fast onboarding and transparent pricing. Employees and contractors start at the same $99 monthly rate, which keeps budgeting simple for small teams.
• Multi-currency wallets, card issuance, and fast cross-border payouts make managing contractor payments simpler than many EOR platforms do natively.
• Users confirm the support team generally responds well, especially to straightforward questions about payments, invoicing, and basic onboarding.

Limitations

• On G2, the most common complaints are delays, platform usability, slow loading, and technical issues.
• Reviewers note that response quality drops when issues get complex, such as payroll discrepancies, delayed payments, and compliance edge cases.
• Limited integrations mean manual data entry between Native Teams and HRIS or accounting tools, and some reviewers say the dashboard gets bloated at scale.
• Recruitment isn’t part of the service. Around 90% of its G2 reviews come from small businesses, so there’s little public evidence of it supporting teams of 10–30+ engineers.

Primary use cases

• Startups and SMBs hiring their first one or two employees in Poland quickly, without an entity.
• Companies with a few hires spread across several countries that want one platform for all of them.
• Small teams that mix employees and contractors across borders and need payroll and payments for both in one place

5. EasyEoR. Best for Poland-Only Hiring

EasyEoR is best for startups and SMBs that hire only in Poland, even a single person. It charges a flat €349 per employee per month with no minimum headcount, and payroll is backed by a local accounting firm. It doesn’t recruit or cover other countries, and it has no published client reviews yet.

EasyEoR is one of the Polish EOR and PEO agencies based in Krakow. It was founded in 2022 by the people behind EasyBooks and Ntiative. It describes itself as an extension of EasyBooks, a Polish accounting firm. Its services cover EOR, PEO, payroll, B2B-to-EOR conversion, compliance and risk management, and HR consulting.

Ratings

• Clutch: N/A
• G2: N/A

Pricing

A flat €349 per employee per month, with no setup fees. The fee covers local contracts, payroll processing, tax filing, ZUS and PPK management, and HR advisory.

EOR platform

EasyEoR is a service-first agency with no proprietary HR platform. Clients work directly with local accountants and HR experts in Poland rather than through chatbots or offshore support tiers.

Advantages

• The flat-fee pricing model is predictable, with no hidden markups, and there are no minimum hires, so single-hire startups and even interns are accepted.
• All payroll operations are backed by the EasyBooks accounting team, which keeps them aligned with changing local tax rules.
• EasyEoR manages both employment contracts and B2B service agreements, and it secures IP assignment under the Polish Copyright Act.
• It covers mandatory BHP training and medical check-ups, administers local benefits such as LuxMed and MultiSport, and sponsors non-EU hires for work permits with the Voivodeship Office.

Limitations

• EasyEoR has no client reviews on G2 or Clutch, so the main evidence for its service comes from its own pages and editorial assessments.
• It’s a single-country agency. Expanding to other EU countries means adding a second partner or moving to a global EOR.
• Recruitment isn’t included, so the client sources every hire themselves.
• There’s no evidence of integrations with major HRIS platforms such as Workday or BambooHR.

Primary use cases

• Startups and SMBs hiring their first employees in Poland on a fixed budget.
• Companies that already have a Polish entity and need outsourced payroll and PEO support.
• Teams moving existing Polish contractors onto EOR employment through a single local agency.

6. Trenkwalder. Best for Mixed Workforces Across Europe

Trenkwalder is best for companies hiring larger or mixed workforces in Poland, especially foreign nationals who need work and residence permits. Its Polish EOR is part of a Vienna-based HR group active in 16 European countries, with optional recruitment and custom pricing. It isn’t tech-focused, though, and some hires can be placed on temporary work contracts.

Trenkwalder is a Vienna-headquartered HR services group. It operates in 16 European countries, including Poland, Germany, Austria, Czechia and Romania. In Poland, it operates as Agencja Pracy Trenkwalder (Trenkwalder Employment Agency), with an office in Warsaw.

Ratings

• Clutch: N/A
• G2: N/A

Pricing

Custom, based on the number of employees and scope of services.

EOR platform

Trenkwalder doesn’t advertise a client platform for EOR. Its local team in Poland handles employment, payroll, and HR administration directly.

Advantages

• The EOR covers payroll, ZUS and PIT, BHP and GDPR compliance, while the client keeps full operational control of the team.
• Trenkwalder handles full legalization of foreign workers’ stay and employment in Poland.
• Recruitment is optional: clients can hire through their own channels or use Trenkwalder’s local expertise to find candidates.
• The onboarding time frame is a few days to two weeks, depending on recruitment status.

Limitations

• Trenkwalder Poland has no client reviews on G2 or Clutch and no named EOR customers, so there’s little independent evidence of its EOR service.
• EOR hires are employed under the Polish Labor Code or through temporary work contracts, depending on legal requirements and the client’s needs. Temporary staffing rules limit an assignment to the same client to 18 months within any 36-month period, so long-term teams should confirm their contract type upfront.
• Pricing is available only on request.

Primary use cases

• Companies hiring larger groups of operational or non-technical staff in Poland
• Businesses that already work with Trenkwalder elsewhere in Europe and want the same HR partner in Poland
• Companies with their own Polish entity that only need outsourced payroll

Top EOR providers with Local Presence in Poland

The top EOR providers with local presence in Poland are EasyEoR, Alcor, and MOTIFE. EasyEoR employs staff through its own Polish entity, with payroll handled by its sister accounting firm, EasyBooks. Alcor employs engineers through its owned Polish entity and combines EOR/COR with tech recruitment and operational support. MOTIFE, a Krakow recruitment firm, offers tiered EOR packages for employees and contractors. All three handle Polish contracts, payroll, and benefits locally.

1. EasyEoR

For a foreign company, Polish employer obligations and tax pitfalls are easy to miss: ZUS and PPK filings, mandatory BHP training, and medical check-ups before day one. EasyEoR works only in Poland. It employs staff through its own Polish entity, and accountants at its sister firm, EasyBooks, handle payroll. It hires full-time employees on Polish employment contracts (umowa o pracę), manages B2B agreements for contractors, and administers local benefits such as LuxMed and MultiSport. Non-EU hires get work permit sponsorship through the Voivodeship Office.

2. Alcor

Many companies end up juggling an EOR, a recruitment agency, and a facilities partner, each with its own contract. Engineers in that setup often feel like outsiders rather than part of the team. Alcor has an owned entity and compliant employment infrastructure in Poland, covering every hire under its Employer of Record in Poland service, with no third-party vendors or partner networks in between. It signs Labor Code-compliant agreements, runs payroll outsourcing to Poland, builds and manages benefits packages, and assigns IP to the client from day one.

Its EOR is part of a wider software R&D center service, which gives tech leaders Silicon Valley-level engineering talent and a full back office from one partner. In-house recruiters help companies hire software developers in Poland across Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw and Gdansk. Operations teams benchmark compensation against the Polish market and lease and equip offices.

3. MOTIFE

First hires in Poland often mix B2B contractors and full-time employees, plus non-EU candidates who need permits. MOTIFE, a Krakow-based recruitment firm, covers both contract types through tiered EOR packages. The entry tier handles contractors with contract templates, HR admin support, and one monthly invoice. The Core and Custom tiers add full-time employees on Polish employment contracts, HR advisory, custom benefits, IT equipment, and work permit sponsorship for non-Polish hires. Polish and EU nationals are onboarded within 2 weeks.

Top EOR Companies in Poland for Expansion in Europe

The top EOR providers in Poland for expansion across Europe are Native Teams, Alcor and Trenkwalder. Each can take a team beyond Poland without switching agencies, but they do it differently. Native Teams offers a self-serve platform with owned entities worldwide. Alcor extends one EOR/COR model across other locations in Eastern Europe. Trenkwalder brings an HR group with offices in 16 European locations.

1. Native Teams

Adding a second or third country usually means a new provider or agency, new contracts, and a new dashboard to learn. Native Teams avoids that by running EOR through directly owned entities in 95+ countries. A company that starts in Poland can scale remote hiring across Europe through the same account, without partner EORs in between.

2. Alcor

For tech leaders, the hardest part of expansion is keeping one team running as it spreads across borders. Alcor is the best EOR for Poland that extends the same employment setup from its owned entity to other Eastern European locations. Contracts, processes and support stay the same in every country: one EOR or COR model, one Customer Operations Manager and one AlcorOS dashboard for payroll, benefits and per-engineer invoicing. Tech recruitment and operational support come with it, so a new location gets hiring as well as employment.

Expanding beyond Poland? Alcor is also the best Employer of Record in Ukraine for tech teams, with the same model, support, and AlcorOS dashboard.

3. Trenkwalder

Companies bringing non-EU staff into Europe face slow permit processes on top of employment compliance. In Poland, Trenkwalder’s EOR includes full legalization of foreign workers’ stay and employment, plus optional local recruitment. Its HR group also operates in 16 European countries, including Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Romania. That gives businesses already working with Trenkwalder in other markets a familiar partner in Poland.

Best EOR Partners in Poland for Pre-IPO Companies

The best EOR partners in Poland for pre-IPO companies are Alcor, Trenkwalder and Neontri. Alcor gives tech companies a forecastable engineering cost line, IP assigned from day one, and audit-ready employment across Eastern Europe and Latin America. Trenkwalder brings the scale and established compliance processes of a large European HR group. Neontri suits fintech teams that already know who they want to hire in Poland.

1. Alcor

Pre-IPO companies need an engineering cost line the CFO can forecast quarter by quarter, and IP ownership that passes IPO diligence without footnotes. Alcor’s fee falls automatically as the team grows, with no setup fees, deposits or exit fees. Every engineer is employed under a compliant local contract, IP is assigned to the client from day one, and access, onboarding and offboarding follow the client’s own security policies. Teams of 10–30 engineers are operational within 90 days, at a cost 30–50% more efficient than US-based hiring. With EOR and COR across Eastern Europe and Latin America, no single country carries the roadmap.

Here’s how it worked for ThredUp, the US resale platform now listed on Nasdaq:

• Silicon Valley-grade recruitment: Alcor’s in-house recruiters placed 30 top-10% engineers and have kept building the team since 2018.
• Tech-focused EOR/COR: engineers are employed through Alcor’s compliant local structures. Alcor runs their payroll, taxes, and benefits, and every agreement assigns IP to ThredUp. A personal Customer Operations Manager who knows ThredUp’s product and team answers any payroll, HR, or compliance question within one business day. ThredUp’s leaders get a person with full context instead of a ticket queue.
• 360-degree operational support: when ThredUp decided to offer stock options to its Ukrainian engineers, there was no local playbook. Alcor built one and guided every legal and operational step of formalizing the equity.

The result: a 30-engineer R&D team that has stayed with ThredUp since 2018 and supported the company through its $1.3B IPO and into life as a public company.

Need a second region for continuity? Alcor is also the best Employer of Record in Colombia, giving US teams full time-zone overlap under the same EOR model.

2. Trenkwalder

Pre-IPO companies need an employment partner that will look solid to auditors and investors during due diligence. Trenkwalder is one of the larger HR groups in this ranking, with more than 200 locations across 16 European countries. That scale brings established compliance processes and a partner unlikely to disappear mid-IPO. Its Polish EOR covers payroll, ZUS and PIT, BHP and GDPR compliance under a single legal employer. The trade-off is a generalist focus: its operations aren’t built around engineering teams.

3. Neontri

Pre-IPO fintech companies face extra scrutiny around data security and regulated workflows. Neontri is a software company focused on banking, fintech and insurance, so it knows the compliance expectations of that sector. Its EOR handles onboarding, payroll, benefits and offboarding for engineers the client recruits. It suits fintech teams that already know who they want to hire in Poland.
