Frequently asked questions

Temporary employment is a form of work arrangement where you sign an employment contract with a temporary staffing agency, namely, BIURO, which becomes your direct employer. However, you actually work at another company, which is our client. Once your assignment at one company ends, we offer you a new opportunity at another. You remain an employee of BIURO, only your workplace changes, depending on your preferences.

Yes, you can. BIURO offers not only temporary but also permanent job opportunities. Based on the demands of our clients, we carry out recruiting and selection procedures for trained professionals, unskilled workers, and specialists in a variety of sectors.
Additionally, on average, one in five of our temporary employees receives an offer to be hired directly by the company where they were placed.

Depending on the position, successful candidates may:

• Be hired directly by our client;
• Be employed for temporary work under a temporary employment contract. Once an assignment at one company ends, we offer a new job opportunity elsewhere. In this case, BIURO remains your employer.

Yes, you can. BIURO offers both full and partial selection services, eliminating the need for the employee leasing (temporary employment) model.

Our team can:

– Find and present candidates who precisely match your needs;
– Carry out the entire selection process: from search to final candidate recommendations;
– Or take care of only certain parts of the process, such as generating a stream of candidates or initial assessment.

BIURO operates as a one-stop shop partner and offers comprehensive personnel solutions – from market research to recruitment and administration. All our services can be flexibly combined to suit your needs.

For example:
– You hire one employee directly (BIURO only provides the selection service), and we hire the others through us, using temporary employment or employment relationship management solutions.

– We prepare job descriptions, job advertisements, and advise on market remuneration, while conducting comprehensive or partial selection in parallel.

– We combine selection with employment administration: after selection, BIURO handles employment contracts, payroll accounting, medical certificates for sick leave, holidays, and other related matters.

Our extensive experience allows us to work with great flexibility. Contact us, and we will help you develop the most effective cooperation model to achieve your HR goals.

We prepare an individual offer for each client, taking into account their specific needs, the nature of their business and the market situation. We can only provide an accurate price after we have thoroughly examined what needs to be achieved and how.

Yes. We are looking not only for active job seekers, but also for passive candidates who are currently employed and have specific skills or experience.

We conduct targeted headhunting, especially when the following are required:
– Specific skills;
– Experience in a specific field;
– Higher-level specialists or managers.

No. Although BIURO is often associated with the successful recruitment of low-skilled workers, this is only part of our business. We have specialised teams that search for higher-skilled specialists, professionals in rare fields, and middle and top-level managers.

We specialise in skills-based selection, which focuses not only on experience or education, but above all on real abilities.

How do we select the best talent?
1. We start by identifying the need. To this end, we use Lominger and other skills models to help us pinpoint the competencies required for a specific position.

2. During the interview, we ask structured questions to assess whether candidates have the necessary skills. We also use testing to obtain an objective assessment of competencies.

3. We only present candidates who precisely match your business needs.

With BIURO, you will find not only people who will help you ‘here and now’, but also those who will shape the future of your company.
