What Rightman does

Rightman (legal entity: RIGHT MAN) is a privately held Romanian recruitment and personnel leasing firm headquartered in Bucharest, founded in 2019, that connects European employers with qualified non-EU workers sourced from nine origin countries: Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, Nepal, the UAE, Bangladesh, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the Philippines. Its core offering combines full-cycle Asian-personnel recruitment — including CV verification, online interviews, and practical assessments at proprietary testing centers in origin countries — with employee leasing, under which Rightman is the legal employer and handles all HR administration, payroll, taxes, work permits, residence permits, insurance, and regulatory compliance on behalf of client companies. Operations are organized around three vertical sub-brands (Bargig Project and Job Master for construction, Workforce for HoReCa, production, and agriculture) plus a healthcare and caregiver service, and a standalone documentation service for work and residence permits.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) personnel leasing, where clients cover the full employee cost (salary, taxes, accommodation, meals, transport, insurance) plus an administration commission paid to Rightman; (2) recruitment fees for full-cycle hiring of Asian personnel into client payrolls; and (3) transfer fees charged when a client converts a leased worker to its own headcount after a minimum one-year collaboration. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales via a professional website, phone (0730024777), and email ([email protected]), targeting enterprises in construction, hospitality, manufacturing, agriculture, and healthcare across Romania and broader Europe.

Scale signals include 4,300 people recruited cumulatively, 750 workers currently employed by Rightman and dispatched to clients, 80 client companies, and founders' claims of 10+ years of specialized recruitment experience. The company operates with approximately 20 internal staff in Bucharest, is privately held with no disclosed external funding or parent company, and has no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or AI/ML capability disclosed in public materials. Work permit processing is advertised at 30-45 days, with full onboarding including transport at 45-60 days.
