What we handle
Recruitment, verified by engineers - and everything around it.
Our core focus is technical recruitment: our own engineers verify every candidate before you meet them. And if you need more than a shortlist, we can also run the whole team for you - payroll, compliance, and people ops included.
People
Dedicated team
Hand-picked engineers who work only for you - fully integrated into your tools, rituals, and roadmap.
Payroll
Local payments
Paid in local currency, on time, every month - tax, social contributions, and filings handled for you.
Ops
Accounting & compliance
Invoicing, reporting, and local filings managed end to end - compliant with Bulgarian and EU rules.
Legal
One contract
One agreement covers hiring, payments, compliance, and people ops - one counterparty, one invoice, one contact.
HR
People ops
Onboarding, equipment, and day-to-day people support - so your team feels local and stays for the long run.
How it works
Recruit top talent or run a full team abroad, without opening a local entity.
Truly is your local partner in Bulgaria - engineer-verified recruitment first, and when you need it, payroll, compliance, and people ops for dedicated teams across Central and Southeast Europe.
