Job offers, information, documents

We work only with trusted, solvent companies with whom we often have many years of cooperation. Deciding to get a job in our employment agency, the employee obtains the certainty of payment of remuneration on time and work in decent conditions.

Our employees often find employment directly with the employer to whom they were referred after a period of temporary work.

Before employment, we interview the employees and offer them a job that meets their requirements. Depending on the preferences of our employees, we can offer a job:

  • giving the opportunity for personal development – when an employee wants to acquire new skills
  • for a short period – when the employee wants to earn as much as possible in a short period of time
  • for families – when employees want to work together with partners or children
  • with learning Polish – when an employee wants to learn how to use Polish in practice

In addition, we always organize accommodation close to the workplace and safety transportation for our employees.

Temporary work involves delegating an employee to another employer – the so-called user employer.

The employment agency remains the temporary employer – signs a contract with the employee, legalizes stay and work, and pays his/her salary.

The employer sets the tasks for the employee, maintains his/her attendance list and supervises his/her work.

Temporary work lasts up to 1.5 years. After this period, the employee is usually employed directly by the employer.

We understand that providing an employee with an appropriate apartment is just as important as offering a good job. The apartment should be located near the workplace and provide employees with decent conditions for recreation.

Since we also know how difficult it is to find suitable accommodation for our employees, we always provide an apartment located near the workplace.

We often send pictures of flats to our job candidates before they start work.

Both a foreigner and an employer who currently employs employees are responsible for their legal residence in Poland. Unfortunately, Polish laws are complicated, and procedures at certain regional institutions may not be clear. That is why we provide a service for the foreigners to legalize their residency in Poland based on the employment in different companies.

We also support individuals engaged in entrepreneurial activities in Poland in the field of obtaining permission for temporary residence.

As part of our work, depending on the needs, we help foreigners to collect all necessary documents to obtain residency in Poland. In addition, during the entire period from submitting the application to receiving the residence card, we check the current status of the case and, if necessary, supply additional documents required by the regional office.

In the case of temporary work, AP-1 legalizes the work of all its employees. In addition, we also provide legalization services for employees working in other companies.

Polish law allows many ways of legal employment of a foreigner that are often not fully understood by other employers. For this reason, we also support employees employed in other companies in obtaining appropriate documents that legalize their work.

As part of our work, we analyze the needs of the employee and employer, and then based on the power of attorney we submit applications for processing the relevant documents.
