Why Bulgaria Is Quietly Becoming Europe's Favorite Hiring Destination
It's not a trend. It's a shift in where global companies build their core teams.
Over the past few years, a growing number of founders and CTOs have started asking the same question: where can we find strong engineering talent without the Western European price tag or the six-month visa process?
Increasingly, the answer is Bulgaria. It's an EU member state, it sits at UTC+2 for easy overlap with UK and Western European teams, and it has a deep, English-fluent talent pool that already works with global product companies.
The result is a market that feels local to your team but costs a fraction of Berlin, London, or Amsterdam.
Curious what your own team would cost to build here?
