Why Poland
Why companies hire developers in Poland
EU law covers your code
Poland is in the EU, so GDPR applies by defaul. Each engineer assigns their work product to On The Spot Development under Polish law as it's created, and your contract passes it to your company.
Both contract types candidates ask for
Some Polish developers want an employment contract, others B2B. We run payroll for both, so your role stays open to the whole market. More in our guide on how to hire developers in Poland.
Depth of the talent market
Polish engineers stay active on the market. That keeps our database growing past 60,000 engineers and makes direct outreach work for senior and niche roles. See what 11 hiring channels cost us.
Working hours that overlap
Warsaw runs on CET. That covers the full UK working day, all of continental Europe, and the morning in New York, which is enough for daily standups and planning.
Salaries below US, UK and Israel
Senior salaries in Poland sit below US, UK and Israeli levels for comparable roles. You see the exact gross salary of every engineer, benchmarked against the Polish market before the search starts.
Engagement models
Two ways to hire developers in Poland
Tech recruitment
The developer is hired directly by your company. We manage the sourcing and technical pre-screening for a fixed success fee.
Honest assessment
When companies hire developers in Poland with us
We turn down engagements that are not the right fit. Here is how to know whether this is the right moment for your company.
Right Moment
You need an EU team without a local entity. On The Spot Development is the employer, so hiring starts at the search kickoff.
A key role has been open for months. We start from 60,000+ engineers in our database and reach the rest directly.
You want one hire on your own payroll. Tech recruitment fits: we find the engineer, who signs with your company.
Your team will grow and change shape. Start with one or two roles, then add a team lead, QA or DevOps.
Probably Not Yet
You are still choosing the stack and the first roles. CTO as a Service covers architecture and hiring decisions until you have a technical lead.
You need a fixed-scope project for a fixed price. A project vendor fits this better. Every engineer we hire joins your team for the long run.
You need someone for a few weeks. Every engineer is hired from the market for your team, and there is no bench. A short task would end before the new hire is up to speed.

FAQ
Hiring developers in Poland: frequently asked questions
Do I need a Polish company to hire developers in Poland?
No. With an offshore development center, On The Spot Development is the employer in Poland and runs payroll, HR and legal administration. You need a Polish entity only if you want to employ developers directly. In that case, tech recruitment finds the engineers and the contract is between them and your company.
Can a US company hire developers in Poland?
Yes. US companies hire developers in Poland through On The Spot Development without registering a local entity. Warsaw's working day overlaps with the morning on the US East Coast, which covers standups and planning. Contracts and IP follow EU rules, and the engineers work in English inside your team.
How much does it cost to hire a developer in Poland?
The cost has two visible parts: the developer's gross salary and a fixed management fee. The salary depends on the role, the seniority and the Polish market. The fee covers recruiting, HR, payroll, legal support, office and equipment, and it doesn't grow as a percentage of salary.
Which developers can I hire in Poland?
Through On The Spot Development, you can hire software developers in Poland for frontend, backend, mobile, AI, QA and DevOps roles, plus team leads. Stacks include React, React Native, Node.js, Python, Go, .NET and Ruby on Rails. Every search starts from your brief.
Why not just post the role on LinkedIn?
Wide-reach posts bring many applicants who can't work in Poland, and the wider a post spreads, the fewer of them fit. On The Spot Development puts its effort into channels with a clear location: local communities, referrals from our engineers, our own email list and direct outreach to engineers who aren't applying anywhere.
Who manages the developers day to day?
Your team does. Developers work in your processes, sprints and code review, and report to your managers. On The Spot Development runs the employment side: payroll, HR, office and equipment, with an account manager as your contact point.
Do developers in Poland work from an office?
Engineers hired through On The Spot Development work from our Warsaw office at Prosta 51 or in a hybrid format, agreed per role before the search starts. Our 2025 survey on return to office shows why hybrid became the default for developers.
Who owns the IP the developers create?
You own the code from the moment it's written. Each engineer assigns their work product to On The Spot Development under Polish law as it's created. Your contract passes it straight to your company. Every engineer signs a confidentiality agreement before getting access to your systems.
Can I move the developers onto my own payroll?
On The Spot Development hires in Poland for its large engineering market, EU-level contract and IP protection, and GDPR by default. For UK and European companies, Poland is a nearshore location in CET with working-hours overlap. Engineers work from the Warsaw office, remotely or in a hybrid format.
How long does it take to hire a developer in Poland?
It depends on the role, your interview rounds and the candidate's notice period. Under the Polish Labour Code, a developer on an employment contract may give up to three months' notice. Our guide on how to hire developers in Poland covers real timelines and channels.
