Polish HR services market 2021 - Report 2022
If you want to set up a recruitment company, now is a good time for it, or at least this is the result of the latest data collected by the Polish HR Forum, whose partner is the Element ATS.

It was completely different back then. Currently, the recruitment market is hot as there are vast shortages of employees, employers are looking for help in recruitment, and recruitment companies are breaking records.
Here is the comprehensive report on the Polish HR services market in 2021 just published by the Polish HR Forum:
