Their candidate selection process is extremely efficient, and, what's even more important, very customisable, meaning we only spend our time interviewing relevant candidates that have been carefully preselected according to all our specific requirements.
We started small with just a few developers, and thanks to the outstanding partnership and consistent quality delivered by OTS, we have grown the team significantly. Today, approximately 30% of our R&D organization in Poland is staffed through OTS.

Poland is in the EU, so GDPR applies by default. 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.
Polish developers work on employment or B2B contracts. 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.
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.
Poland is a nearshore option for UK and EU companies. Running on CET, Warsaw covers the UK working day, continental Europe, and the New York morning for daily standups and planning.
Hiring Polish software developers costs less than comparable roles in the US, UK or Israel. You see the exact gross salary of every engineer, benchmarked against the Polish market before the search starts.
Hire offshore developers in Poland without a local entity. The developer is employed by On The Spot Development in Poland and works full time on your product. We run payroll, HR, office and equipment, and you lead the work.
The developer is hired directly by your company. We manage the sourcing and technical pre-screening for a fixed success fee.
Honest assessment
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.
You and On The Spot Development agree on the stack, seniority, mindset and salary range, checked against the current Polish market before the search begins.
Recruiters search our database of 60,000+ engineers and contact candidates directly. The role goes to local engineering communities, our email list of engineers and TechSpot attendees, and our engineers' referrals.
Recruiters check every candidate for skills, English, motivation and salary fit. You follow each candidate's stage and recruiter feedback in the ATS.
Your team runs the technical interview and can add a test task. If you prefer, the On The Spot Development CTO joins the interview through our CTO as a Service engagement.
You make the final decision. We prepare the offer and the contract, and plan the start date around the candidate's notice period.
With tech recruitment services, the engineer joins your company and we step out. With an offshore development center, we run payroll, office and HR from day one.
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.
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.
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.
Through On The Spot Development, you can hire software developers and programmers 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.
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.
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.
The work setup is agreed per role in the brief, before the search starts. Teams that need a shared space work from the On The Spot Development office in Warsaw.
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.
Yes. On The Spot Development gives you a buyout right from day one, not tied to a term or a milestone. The price and the process are set in the contract from the first day, so both sides know the terms before your developers start. If you want developers on your own payroll from the start, tech recruitment finds them and they sign with your company.
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.
You get candidates you interview yourself, a cost structure you can read line by line, and a team you can take in-house.
