itMatch IT Recruitment & Culture Hub

What recruitment methods do you offer?

In the competitive IT sector, where demand often surpasses supply, acquiring top talent poses a significant challenge. Our expertise in IT recruitment, built over many years, has allowed us to cultivate a robust network of around 60,000 candidates, including passive talent who may not engage with traditional job postings or actively search for new opportunities. We focus on finding candidates who align not only with the required skill set but also with the company’s culture and mission, ensuring a strong and lasting fit.

To streamline the hiring process for our clients, we offer flexible recruitment models such as RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing), Master Vendor agreements, and Executive Search services. This allows us to tailor our approach to the unique needs of each organization and project.

We continuously track job market trends and industry platforms, adjusting our strategies to align with evolving conditions. Each recruitment approach we deploy is personalized, ensuring it meets the specific requirements of the roles and company culture, ultimately optimizing efficiency and results.

How quickly are you able to assemble a team for the IT office?

We initiate the recruitment process by thoroughly assessing the specific needs and crafting detailed candidate profiles tailored to those requirements. By utilizing both digital and traditional recruitment channels, as well as our proprietary database and broad network of industry professionals, we ensure a comprehensive search.

Our approach is flexible, adapting to each company's capabilities and strategic goals, while aligning with our market knowledge of vacancy specifics and candidate seniority levels. Together with the client, we establish a realistic recruitment plan that balances process quality with candidate experience, helping not only to build top-tier teams but also to enhance the employer's brand presence in the market.

For junior positions, we typically deliver the first candidates within a week, while managerial and highly specialized roles may take longer, depending on factors such as required expertise, job offer appeal, and employer brand strength. This tailored approach ensures timely and successful hiring outcomes.

What distinguishes Krakow's IT talent pool from the other recruitment markets?

Kraków produces a steady stream of well-educated graduates from top universities. This results in a talent pool rich in technical skills and many professionals fluent in multiple languages, making it easier for companies to establish global operations. The city has a strong presence of international corporations, so local talent often has experience working in cross-cultural environments, which is an added advantage for global firms.

Compared to other European tech hubs like Berlin or London, the cost of hiring IT talent in Kraków remains competitive. Despite the increasing demand, the salaries for IT professionals are still lower than in Western Europe or the US, making Kraków an attractive destination for setting up R&D centers and offshore development. The IT talent pool is growing at an approximate rate of 10% annually. This steady increase is supported by the city's vibrant startup scene and the continuous expansion of large global companies, including Google, IBM, Qualtrics and Ocado, which further fuels the growth of the local workforce.

The market is offering roles in sectors such as fintech, automotive, telecommunications, and e-commerce. This diversity attracts a wide range of professionals, from backend developers and DevOps engineers to data scientists and project managers, enriching the talent pool. Kraków's proximity to major European cities and its well-connected transportation infrastructure make it a strategic location for businesses.

This combination of technical expertise, cost-effectiveness, and international experience makes Kraków a highly desirable destination for companies looking to tap into top-tier IT talent.
