It depends on the role profile and current availability. For common profiles (assembly, warehouse, production support) we can usually respond within a few days. Specialised profiles (CNC programmer, TIG welder, electrician) typically take 1 – 3 weeks. Contact us with your profile and deadline — we will give you a realistic delivery estimate.

Yes — our services are always free for candidates. We never charge fees for placement, interviews or document preparation. Agency income comes from employers.

We most frequently place workers in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. Occasionally also in the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. The specific country depends on the current needs of our partner companies.

We primarily place workers in Germany, Austria and Slovakia. We also run projects in the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Poland. Projects are managed in Slovak, English and German — a coordinator who speaks your company language is standard.

For most manual positions (CNC, welding, assembly, construction) language skills are not required. Being able to communicate in Slovak or Czech is enough — the coordinator helps with employer communication. If a position requires a language, it is always stated clearly in the job offer.

Agency fees are charged as a markup on the worker's hourly rate (for temporary staffing) or as a one-time placement fee (for direct recruitment). Specific rates depend on the sector, profile and scope of cooperation. We sign a framework agreement and pricing schedule before recruitment starts — no hidden fees.

Yes, for most positions abroad we arrange accommodation. It may be included free of charge or at a subsidised cost (depending on the specific project and employer). Accommodation terms are always disclosed clearly before signing the contract.

For temporary staffing we guarantee a worker replacement in case of absence (illness, no-show). Replacement time depends on the role profile. This is clearly defined in the framework assignment agreement. The coordinator informs you proactively as soon as a problem arises.

Pay depends on the role, country and employer. Indicative figures for positions abroad:

• Semi-skilled workers (assembly, warehouse): from €1,400 – 1,800 / month net
• Skilled workers (CNC, welding, electrician): from €1,800 – 2,500 / month net
• Some positions are paid hourly (e.g. €18 – 24 / hour)

Exact terms are always agreed individually and transparently before the start of work.

Yes — we have experience supplying teams for serial production, construction projects and seasonal peaks. For larger volumes (10 or more workers) we prepare an individual recruitment plan, an onboarding schedule and assign a dedicated project coordinator. Contact us with your project parameters — we will come back with a concrete proposal.

Typical contract length is 3 to 6 months with an option to extend. For long-term projects (production, construction) a contract can last 12 months or more. The exact duration is always stated clearly in the job offer and agreed before the start.

The A1 form is a certificate confirming that you are insured in Slovakia while working abroad (you continue to pay social and health contributions in Slovakia). It is required when posted to another EU country. WorkPower applies for it on your behalf — you do not need to do anything yourself.

We most frequently place workers in the following sectors and roles:

• Engineering: CNC operator / programmer, miller, turner, maintenance technician
• Welding: TIG, MIG/MAG, MMA, plasma welder
• Automotive: assembly worker, quality inspector, production line operator
• Construction: carpenter, bricklayer, tiler, plumber, insulation worker
• Logistics: warehouse operator, handler, driver (B, C, CE), forklift operator
• Electrical: electrician, electromechanic, automation technician

You work under an employment contract with WorkPower s.r.o. Salary is paid monthly directly to your bank account provided at onboarding. A pay slip is issued with each payment. Social and health contributions are paid by us — you receive your net salary.

Throughout the assignment you have a WorkPower coordinator available to contact with any questions or problems. We handle situations promptly and discreetly — from working conditions to accommodation. Your satisfaction and safety are our priority.
