For Warsaw & Poland Companies
Warsaw is Eastern Europe's largest
tech market, and its fastest-growing
source of India hiring mandates.
Engineering, AI, and leadership talent. Placed right.
For Warsaw and Polish companies hiring in India, the technology roster is rapidly scaling: Allegro, CD Projekt Red, OLX Group, Docplanner, and a rapidly scaling technology ecosystem have made Warsaw one of Europe's most dynamic technology markets. Polish companies building India teams are often at an inflection point: they have grown beyond what local engineering talent can supply at speed, and they need India's scale without sacrificing the engineering quality culture that Warsaw's best companies have built.

COMPANIES WE HAVE PLACED FOR
The searches that failed before us
had three things in common.
Most Warsaw teams that reach Talhive have already tried. Posted on LinkedIn and got applications with no signal. Used a contingent agency and got volume CVs with no technical depth. Tried to run the search without anyone who understands India's notice periods, competing offers, and motivation structures. Talhive exists for teams that need the search done once, done right, by a partner who owns the outcome end to end.
Job-board posts do not reach engineers who are not actively looking but would move for the right mandate.
Offer-stage dropouts are a motivation problem, not a compensation one. The process never surfaced what matters.
60 to 90 day notice periods mean counteroffers land after your process ends. Without a retention strategy, the candidate walks.
3 Principal AI Engineers, Writesonic
A prior agency and six months of inbound had produced zero hires. Talhive identified that the real talent pool for production LLM roles sat inside platform teams at Google and Amazon, not among self-labelled AI engineers on LinkedIn. We rebuilt the sourcing thesis around deployment evidence and closed all three within 6 weeks.
Roles we place for Warsaw companies.
Backend, search, and catalogue engineers for Allegro and OLX-profile companies
Allegro and OLX's marketplace engineering needs map directly to India's e-commerce engineering alumni from Flipkart, Meesho, and the India OLX operations. Targeted sourcing into this pool yields well-matched profiles. View role profile
Real-time systems and game backend engineers for CD Projekt-adjacent companies
CD Projekt Red's engineering profile creates gaming-specific India hiring mandates. India's growing gaming engineering community in Bengaluru and Hyderabad has real-time multiplayer, game economy, and live ops engineers accessible through targeted outreach. View role profile
Engineering and product for Docplanner and Warsaw's SaaS layer
Warsaw's B2B and health technology SaaS layer creates standard enterprise engineering mandates well-served by Hyderabad and Pune's cost-efficient enterprise engineering alumni. View role profile
