What Devire does

Devire Sp. z o.o. is a Polish recruitment and HR outsourcing agency founded in 1987 and headquartered in Warsaw (Al. Jerozolimskie 94), operating from six branch offices across Poland (Poznań, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Katowice, Kraków) with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Germany (Devire GmbH in Frankfurt and Munich) and the Czech Republic (Devire s.r.o. in Prague) under the Devire Group umbrella, which also includes Neumann Executive Sp. z o.o. and Flaire Sp. z o.o. The firm holds Polish Employment Agency License No. 3260 and employs approximately 150 people across the group.

The company offers an interconnected portfolio of talent and HR services: Permanent Recruitment (Rekrutacja Stała) for direct placements; IT Contracting for flexible technology staffing; Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) in which Devire runs the client's hiring function under the client brand; External Employment acting as employer of record for contractors at client sites; Managed Services that outsource operational processes (sales support, administration, finance and accounting); plus IT Services, HR Consulting and a Nearshoring offering for cross-border talent placement. All of these are powered by Jarvis, a proprietary candidate database (jarvis.devire.eu), and an internal ATS used for pipeline and workflow management. Devire Hire+ extends Jarvis into a curated, pre-vetted candidate access product.

Revenue mechanics are split between professional-services placement fees tied to candidate salary for permanent recruitment, contractor billings for IT contracting and Managed Services, and negotiated multi-year RPO contracts, with pricing opaque and quote-based per engagement. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales led through enterprise account teams, supplemented by candidate-facing portals, an annual Polish salary report series, and content marketing on LinkedIn and Facebook. The customer base spans multinationals (Goldman Sachs, IQVIA, Publicis Groupe, GN Store Nord, Falcon V, Ajinomoto, DB Schenker, VitalAire, Janssen Polska, Logicworks, Balton, LEK-AM) and the firm scales outreach into thousands of candidates per major engagement (e.g., 20,000+ candidates contacted and 1,200+ placed for a 200-person R&D center). Devire was ranked 3rd in the Polish HR Forum for both outsourcing (Q1 2025) and permanent recruitment (2024) and has held Clutch Top recognitions across HR Outsourcing, Staff Augmentation and HR Recruiting categories from 2023 through 2025.
