HEADEX Group

What HEADEX Group does

HEADEX Group is a Lithuania-based international staffing and human resources solutions provider founded in 2003 (originally under the name Jūrų gyvatė in Scandinavian markets and rebranded to HEADEX in 2006). The company offers four integrated HR service modules: Personalo nuoma (staff leasing/ temporary employment), Rangos paslaugos (contracting services), Darbo santykių administravimas (employer-of-record/payroll administration), and Personalo atranka (recruitment). In staff leasing and contracting, HEADEX is the legal employer of placed workers, who perform duties at client sites across manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, customer service, and administration; payroll/EOR provides administrative compliance for client-selected employees; and recruitment delivers permanent and executive hiring with candidate assessment.

The company operates from five Lithuanian branch offices (Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys) and runs representative offices in Germany (since 2009), the Netherlands (since 2010), Belgium (since 2015), Scandinavia, and Poland (since 2022). Its technology stack centers on a digitized candidate database in use since 2011, LEAN process methodology implemented in 2017, and digital onboarding/self-service tooling. The company holds NEN 4400 certification in the Netherlands, BAP membership in Germany, Belgian Joint Committee 140.03 compliance, GDPR alignment, and membership in Lithuanian industry associations.

HEADEX employs an average of more than 3,000 workers (a figure that has grown from approximately 1,000 in 2012 to 2,000 in 2013 to 3,000+ in 2021), places more than 4,000 people in long-term work annually, serves more than 450 clients, and conducts more than 1,000 job interviews per month. Revenue is generated through managed services fees on staff leasing (recurring per-worker monthly billing), transaction fees on contracting (per unit of work completed), and professional services fees on payroll administration and recruitment. Pricing is quote-based and multi-year contractual. The company remains privately held with no disclosed external investors or parent entity, and has stated a long-term vision of reaching 30,000 employees.

Revenue model

1. Personalo nuoma (Staff Leasing/Temporary Employment): Temporary staffing service where selected employees are employed by HEADEX Group but work at client locations. HEADEX handles all HR administration including payroll, compliance, and employee management. This is a recurring revenue stream based on the number of placed workers and duration of assignments.
2. Rangos paslaugos (Contracting Services): Outsourcing of production or logistics processes where HEADEX takes responsibility for completing defined work units or objectives. Payment is based on units completed rather than time, providing cost efficiency for clients.
3. Darbo santykių administravimas (Employer of Record/Payrolling): Payroll administration services where HEADEX handles employment relationships and salary administration for client's selected employees. Includes compliance with labor law and tax requirements.
4. Personalo atranka (Recruitment): Executive and professional recruitment services to find and select candidates who meet client needs. Includes candidate assessment, testing, and cultural fit evaluation.
