International Permanent Recruitment Agency
Finding the right permanent employees can be challenging, particularly when businesses need to recruit internationally.

We work with businesses seeking employees across:
- Professional roles

- Administrative roles

- Specialist roles
Our international recruitment network allows employers to reach candidates beyond their domestic labour market and identify professionals interested in building long-term careers abroad.
Permanent Recruitment From the Balkans
The Balkan region provides employers with access to a diverse workforce covering many industries, occupations, qualifications, and experience levels.
Balkans Recruitment connects employers with job seekers from countries including:
- Albania
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Kosovo
- Montenegro
- North Macedonia
- Serbia
- Other Balkan and Southeast European countries
Candidates may be interested in employment opportunities throughout Europe and international markets.
Our role is to help employers identify candidates whose professional experience, qualifications, expectations, and availability correspond with the requirements of the position.
Permanent Recruitment Services for Employers
Successful permanent recruitment requires more than publishing a job advertisement and collecting applications.
Employers need candidates who have the appropriate experience, qualifications, motivation, communication skills, availability, and expectations for the position.
Our recruiters can assist with:
Candidate Sourcing
We identify potential candidates through recruitment databases, professional networks, direct sourcing, applications, referrals, and other recruitment channels.
The objective is to create a relevant candidate pool based on the employer’s requirements rather than simply generating a large number of applications.
Applicant Screening
Applications can be reviewed against the essential requirements of the vacancy.
This may include professional experience, technical capabilities, qualifications, language abilities, location preferences, availability, and other criteria established by the employer.
CV Evaluation
Our recruitment team evaluates candidate CVs to identify applicants whose professional backgrounds correspond with the requirements of the position.
This helps employers focus their attention on candidates with relevant experience and qualifications.
Candidate Interviews
Candidate interviews provide an opportunity to understand an applicant beyond the information contained in a CV.
Depending on the position, interviews may explore professional background, responsibilities, technical knowledge, career objectives, availability, relocation preferences, salary expectations, and motivation.
Qualification Assessment
Where appropriate, candidate qualifications, professional certifications, licenses, training, and other relevant credentials can be considered as part of the recruitment process.
Requirements vary considerably between industries, occupations, employers, and destination countries.
Candidate Shortlisting
Following sourcing, screening, and evaluation, suitable candidates can be presented to the employer for consideration.
A targeted shortlist helps hiring managers spend more time evaluating relevant applicants rather than reviewing large volumes of unsuitable applications.
Interview Coordination
Balkans Recruitment can assist with coordinating interviews between employers and shortlisted candidates.
This can include communication regarding interview dates, times, formats, availability, and next steps.
Offer Support
Once an employer identifies a preferred candidate, our recruitment team can assist with communication during the offer stage.
Clear communication can be particularly important in international recruitment where candidates may need to consider relocation, notice periods, travel arrangements, documentation requirements, and employment conditions.
Candidate Communication
Candidate communication remains important throughout the recruitment process.
We help maintain communication with applicants regarding interviews, employer feedback, recruitment stages, offers, and other relevant developments.
Finding the Right Candidate — Not Simply More Applicants
The objective of permanent recruitment is not simply to generate applications.
A vacancy receiving hundreds of applications does not necessarily make recruitment easier.
Employers still need to determine which applicants genuinely meet the requirements of the role and are realistically interested in the opportunity.
Our focus is therefore to introduce employers to candidates who genuinely match the:
- Position
- Organization
- Professional requirements
- Location
- Employment conditions
- Candidate expectations
- Long-term opportunity
This targeted approach can help employers build a more efficient recruitment process.

Why Employers Use an International Recruitment Agency
International recruitment can significantly expand the talent pool available to employers.
Instead of limiting recruitment to candidates living within one city or country, companies can access professionals across multiple labour markets.
Working with an international recruitment agency can also provide additional recruitment capacity.
An external recruitment partner can assist with sourcing, screening, interviewing, shortlisting, candidate communication, and recruitment coordination while internal hiring teams concentrate on final selection and business priorities.
