Honest answers to what employers ask
Timing, paperwork, pricing, guarantee and housing. If your question isn't here, just ask us.
Process and timing
How long from request to arrival?
It depends on the country the workers come from and on how busy the institutions are. You get an exact date in the offer, and we tell you when to sign so you have people in time for the season.
How long can the workers stay?
Up to 3 months. We work only with seasonal employment of up to 90 days.
Can we interview the candidates?
Yes. You interview them by video and approve who comes. Nobody travels without your approval.
What is the minimum number of workers we can request?
There is no minimum. For 10 or more workers there is a discount on the fee.
Paperwork and legal framework
What documents do we need to prepare?
Almost nothing. We prepare everything and tell you where to sign. From you we need company details and the terms of employment.
Is there a limit on how many foreign nationals we can hire?
There are limits based on the number of your employees. We check them in the very first call, before you sign anything.
What if our company owes money to the National Revenue Agency?
A clean record with the National Revenue Agency and the Labour Inspectorate matters, otherwise permits are refused. We check this at the very start, so you don't lose time and money.
Pricing & guarantee
What do I pay and what does the worker pay?
The worker pays nothing to StaffBG. You pay our fee, the procedure costs, passed on at cost, and the wage with social insurance.
When do I pay the fee?
30% when the contract is signed and 70% when the workers arrive in Bulgaria.
What happens if a worker leaves?
We find a replacement with no new StaffBG fee. You pay only the procedure costs for the new person. The guarantee covers the whole contract period.
The workers and housing
Which countries do the workers come from?
We work through licensed partners abroad. The specific country depends on the positions and the timing. We tell you in the offer.
Do we have to provide housing?
If you have it, great. If not, we help you find suitable accommodation and build it into the plan. Good housing is one of the main reasons people stay.
Do they speak Bulgarian?
Usually not, so we help with basic Bulgarian and with interpreting in the first days. If the position needs English, tell us in your request.
“They come and run off.”
That's why we're here. Licensed partners only, a real offer before travel, support to the end and a replacement with no new fee. The main fee comes after arrival.
“We tried, it didn't work.”
What went wrong? Most often people were promised a wage that wasn't real. We'll show you how we avoid that.
“It's expensive.”
What does an empty position cost you at the height of the season? The fee is one-off, while an empty position costs you every month.
“It's too slow.”
That's why we plan for you. If you sign on time, the people are here for the season.
“We'll do it ourselves.”
You can. We take on selection, paperwork, visas, welcome and support, so your team doesn't have to.
“We have nowhere to house them.”
We help you find accommodation and build it into the plan from day one.
How many people do you need?
Tell us the positions and when they need to start. We reply within one working day.
