Temporary staffing in Croatia

With temporary staffing, the worker is employed by the agency but does the job at your company. The agency is the formal employer and handles the contract, salary and contributions; you get the staff you need for a set period.

What is temporary staffing?

Temporary staffing – also called temporary agency work – is a three-way relationship between the worker, the agency and the user company. The worker is employed by the agency, but the actual work is done at the user company.

In Croatia this model is regulated by the Labour Act. The agency signs the employment contract with the worker, pays the salary and takes care of all legal obligations. The user company signs a staffing agreement with the agency and gets the workers without the paperwork that comes with direct hiring.

What do you get?

  • Quick access to workers. Through our network of candidates and partners in Croatia and abroad, we find people at short notice.
  • Flexibility. Exactly as many workers as you need, without a long-term commitment.
  • Legal certainty. Contracts, records, salaries and contributions are on us.
  • A 30-day replacement guarantee. If a worker doesn’t meet expectations or leaves within that period, the replacement costs you nothing extra.
  • A trial period on the job. You get to know the worker at work before deciding on a permanent contract.
  • Lower selection costs. No job ads and no paperwork on your side.

Why does it matter that the agency is licensed?

In Croatia, temporary employment may only be provided by a licensed agency. Working with an unlicensed intermediary has legal consequences for the employer and leaves the worker without security.

Protalent is licensed, so our obligations to workers – from contracts and payroll to paying contributions – are carried out in line with the regulations.

If you would rather hire people directly, see recruitment or hiring foreign workers.
