What Kind of Workers Do Polish Companies Want from Global Sources?

Triloknath Immigration Services is an institutional B2B International Recruitment Agency. Poland faces a structural deficit with 1.5 million workers needed by 2026. With the official abolition of the Labour Market Test as of 1 June 2025 and the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy's list of 329 shortage occupations, we source, technically vet, and deliver pre-screened international talent and Indian professionals (25,700+ Indian workers already in ZUS, 3rd largest foreign group) directly to Polish corporate employers for statutory Voivodeship Type A Work Permits and EU Blue Cards.

Important Notice for Polish Employers & HR Directors: Triloknath Immigration Services operates strictly as an institutional B2B international recruitment partner.

Types of Workers Polish Companies Want from Global Sources

Poland is facing a critical and structural labour shortage, with foreign workers now vital to the economy's functioning. In late 2025, there were 1.1 million foreigners working in Poland, accounting for 6.9% of the total national workforce — a 6.4% increase year-on-year. Over 100,000 work permits were issued in H1 2025 alone, and Poland is projected to require 1.5 million workers by 2026 to sustain economic expansion.

To resolve these deficits, the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy (MRPiPS) established an official list of 329 shortage occupations across 37 elementary occupation groups. This statutory framework allows prioritized, fast-track work permit processing. Furthermore, under the Act of 20 March 2025 on Conditions of Admissibility of Entrusting Work to Foreigners, the traditional Labour Market Test (test rynku pracy) was formally abolished on 1 June 2025, allowing employers to recruit international candidates directly through praca.gov.pl.

India is a premier and rapidly expanding source of talent: In 2025, 25,700 Indian citizens were actively registered with Poland's social insurance system (ZUS), establishing Indians as the third-largest foreign workforce in Poland (after Ukrainians and Belarusians) and accounting for 2% of all foreign labour. Overall Asian recruitment increased by 7%, with India representing 24% of all Asian workforce recruitment projects.

How Triloknath Powers Your Hiring: We do not sell visas to individuals. We source, screen, technically test, and deliver job-ready international candidates from India and global talent hubs directly to Polish employers who sponsor their Type A Work Permit or EU Blue Card.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions – Poland B2B Candidate Sourcing & Employment

Does Triloknath Immigration Services provide visas directly or supply candidates?
Triloknath Immigration Services is a pure B2B international recruitment agency. We do not issue or sell visas. We source, pre-screen, technically test, and supply qualified international candidates (including Indian professionals) directly to Polish corporate employers. The hiring company sponsors the candidate under statutory Voivodeship Type A Work Permits, the EU Blue Card, or Poland Business Harbour, while we provide the vetted talent pipeline and praca.gov.pl digital compliance dossiers.
What is the official list of 329 shortage occupations in Poland?
The Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy (MRPiPS) has designated 329 shortage occupations across 37 elementary occupation groups. These include doctors (~300 specialisations), nurses (~20 specialisations), software developers (Python, SQL, Java), DevOps, cybersecurity specialists, mechanical and electrical engineers, CNC machinists, welders, roofers, plumbers, and heavy goods vehicle (HGV) drivers. Roles on this list benefit from prioritized, fast-track work permit processing.
How did the 2025 Immigration Reform and Labour Market Test abolition change hiring?
Under the Act of 20 March 2025 on Conditions of Admissibility of Entrusting Work to Foreigners, the traditional Labour Market Test (test rynku pracy) was abolished as of 1 June 2025. Polish employers no longer need to wait for local labour office certificates before filing work permits. Furthermore, all permit applications are now processed digitally via praca.gov.pl, substantially accelerating candidate deployment.
Why are Indian professionals a top choice for Polish companies?
India is Poland's third-largest foreign workforce with over 25,700 Indian citizens registered with ZUS (accounting for 2% of the entire foreign workforce). Indian professionals possess strong STEM foundations, excellent English fluency, and proven expertise in software development (Python, Java, DevOps), engineering, healthcare, and industrial machining. Recruitment from Asia is expanding rapidly, with India representing 24% of all Asian workforce recruitment projects.
How long does the entire sourcing and deployment process take?
With pre-screened talent pools and the abolition of the labour market test, candidate presentation takes 1–2 weeks, followed by employer interviews and contract execution. Voivodeship Type A Work Permit issuance via praca.gov.pl takes 6 to 10 weeks, and consular National D-Visa stamping takes 2 to 4 weeks. Total turnkey deployment time is typically 60 to 90 working days (1–4 months).
What candidate replacement guarantee does Triloknath provide?
We provide an institutional 90-day free candidate replacement guarantee. If any placed professional fails performance metrics, resigns, or defaults within the first 90 days of employment, TIS will source, screen, and relocate a qualified replacement at zero additional agency service charge.
