Amplia

What Amplia does

Amplia Talents is a privately held Portuguese HR consultancy founded in 2015 that specializes in the international placement of professionals across the Healthcare, Hospitality, Logistics, and STEM sectors. The company operates a two-sided model: it partners directly with employers (hospitals, clinics, hotels, resorts, cruise lines, distribution centers, and software development firms) on recruitment, workforce planning, and regulatory compliance advisory, while simultaneously supporting individual candidates through the full pre-placement journey, including recruitment, language training, documentation assistance, professional recognition procedures, and visa/work-permit preparation. Amplia serves candidates primarily originating from Portugal, Italy, Spain, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, and Greece and places them with employers in the United States, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, France, and additional global markets. The company charges no recruitment fees to candidates and directs administrative costs (e.g., visa applications, translations, language certification exams) to relevant public authorities rather than retaining them.

The company's product surface comprises three interconnected service lines: (i) Recruitment and Career Management, structured around real vacancies and employer partnerships rather than generic job matching; (ii) Training, delivered in partnership with sister company Youvvolution and offering structured language programs (French Level B2, Dutch Level B2+, English Levels B1 and B2) and Soft Skills Professional courses for Portuguese-speaking professionals; and (iii) B2B Consulting, addressing organizational psychology, team formation, process structuring, and growth strategy for organizations operating internationally. There is no proprietary technology platform underpinning these services; no app, API, or SDK is offered, and all client interactions occur through direct contact, social media (Linktree hub), a website with content/testimonials, and department-specific email channels (e.g., [email protected], [email protected]).

Amplia generates revenue through professional services fees from employers for recruitment placements and B2B consulting engagements, supplemented by separately priced language training programs delivered in partnership with Youvvolution. GTM motion is enterprise field sales combined with direct candidate engagement via consultants physically present across seven countries, supported by organic social media as the primary top-of-funnel channel. The firm is founder-led (CEO Nuno Silva), privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds, and operates from headquarters in Maia (Porto), Portugal, plus a regional office in Italy. GDPR compliance is maintained at the data-handling level. The named team comprises approximately 15 professionals across recruitment, communications, and cross-departmental management functions, consistent with a small-to-mid-sized professional services business rather than a scaled technology platform.
