YOUR ONE-STOP-SHOP
FOR TECH TALENT
SOLUTIONS

It depends on what kind of engagement you're looking for. If you want to bring someone on board permanently as a direct employee, Permanent Recruitment is the right path. Our team can typically present valid candidates within the first 48 hours of briefing.

If you need immediate capacity but aren't ready to commit to a permanent hire, Team Extension gives you access to vetted tech professionals who integrate directly into your team on a flexible basis, without the overhead of a long-term contract.

If your company doesn't have a legal entity in Portugal but you'd like to tap into local tech talent with a remote worker, Employer of Record (EOR) is your best option. We handle all employment contracts, payroll, and compliance on your behalf so you can hire without setting up locally.

When the expected hiring volume is higher and the timeline is also critical, the two most effective approaches are Embedded Recruitment (RPO) or Team Extension (Outsourcing).

Embedded Recruitment operates as a true extension of your internal talent acquisition team. You will experience all of our combined expertise in your ranks, resulting in the most cost-effective way of hiring in scale.

Team Extension is the right call when you need to scale your current team but aren't ready, or don't want to, commit to permanent headcount. Flexibility is key here.

We go well beyond Portugal. While the Portuguese tech market is where we have the deepest expertise and the strongest talent network, our EOR service covers multiple European countries, meaning we can compliantly employ tech talent on your behalf across different jurisdictions without you needing a local entity in each one.

If you're building a distributed European tech team and need a single, trusted partner to manage employment across borders, get in touch and we'll walk you through what's possible for your specific locations.

The honest answer is: it varies, but we move fast on our end, and above all, with a quality delivery mindset. Most tech professionals in Portugal are already employed, which means the biggest variable is notice periods, typically 30 to 60 days depending on current contract length. That's not something any recruitment partner can shortcut.

What we can control is time-to-candidate. For most tech roles, we're able to present a shortlist of relevant, pre-vetted profiles within the first 48 hours of receiving a brief. For highly specialised or senior leadership roles, expect a slightly longer search, but never a slow one.

The clearer and more realistic the kick-off session, the faster and preciser we move. We'll always be upfront with you about the available talent pool for your specific role and timeline.

Our core specialisation is tech, across the full spectrum of technology roles. That includes software development, product management, data and analytics, DevOps and infrastructure, cybersecurity, QA, UX/UI, up to tech leadership at all seniority levels.

We know the Portuguese tech talent market in depth: who's active, who's passive, what they expect, and how to engage them. That focus is what makes us effective.

For roles that fall outside of tech, such as finance, HR, operations, or marketing positions that occasionally come up within our existing client base, we have trusted partnerships that allow us to support those needs without compromising the quality of what we deliver.

Absolutely! And it's actually how many of our longest-standing client relationships started. International companies looking to establish or expand in Portugal, or simply access Portuguese tech talent remotely, have been a core part of our business from the beginning.

We're probably the strongest reference point for any international company looking to tap into the Portuguese tech market. We understand what makes Portugal attractive from a talent and cost-effectiveness perspective, we know how to navigate local employment law, and we can guide you through every step, from your first hire to building a full team.

Whether you're already operating in Portugal or considering it for the first time, we're well placed to help.

Most recruitment agencies in Portugal are generalists, or at best have a tech practice alongside several others. We are tech-only, which means our entire network, our consultants' expertise, and our market knowledge is concentrated in one domain. That focus translates directly into better results for our clients.

Beyond specialisation, what really sets us apart is that our group was deliberately built to cover every single tech hiring model under one roof. Through Damia, We Are META, and Landing.Jobs, we can respond to permanent recruitment, team extension, employer of record, and everything in between, without ever asking you to work with a different partner in the tech domain.

We also go beyond placement. Our Job Board and Employer Branding services mean we can help you not just hire, but become the kind of company that top tech talent actively wants to join. In a candidate-driven market, that's not a nice-to-have; it's a competitive necessity.
