Working as a foreigner in Poland is a dream for many people looking for stable employment and better life prospects. Poland's economy is growing rapidly, and companies in logistics, manufacturing or warehouses are constantly looking for new employees. However, in order to find a legal and secure job, it is worth knowing a few rules - from preparing a resume, to verifying offers, to choosing an agency that will support you in the recruitment process.
1. prepare a professional resume
- Resumes in Poland should include: contact information, work experience, education and additional skills.
- It is worth adding information about language skills (e.g. Polish, English, Ukrainian).
- Include a current photo - in Poland, this is still a practice that is well regarded by employers.
Tip: if you don't feel confident with Polish, prepare your resume in English.
2. find legitimate and verified sources of offers
- Official job portals (e.g. Pracuj.pl, OLX Praca, EURES).
- Websites and social media of certified employment agencies.
- Advertisements in Facebook groups or Telegram - but here be very careful.
Remember that legitimate offers always include the name of the employer or agency and clear terms of employment.
3. make sure you are working legally
As of June 1, 2025, regulations in Poland have changed.
- A visa from another EU country alone is not enough to work in Poland.
- Each candidate needs work permit or declaration of entrustment of work.
- Lack of these documents means illegal employment and the risk of hefty fines - both for the employer and the employee.
4 Choose the right employment agency
A temporary work agency is a safe solution, especially if you are not yet familiar with the Polish market. Worth noting:
- entry in the KRAZ register (confirmation of legitimate activity),
- Experience in hiring foreigners,
- Support in terms of accommodation, transportation or translation,
- feedback from other candidates.
Example: in NJOB we take care of every step of the process - from documents to onboarding to daily support.
5. prepare for life in Poland
Working in Poland is not only a professional responsibility, but also a daily life.
- Take care of your Polish bank account and phone number.
- Learn basic words in Polish - it will make communication easier.
- Find out about living costs and housing options.
Finding work in Poland as a foreigner is possible and getting easier - provided you act legally and use proven sources. A professional resume, being careful with offers, choosing the right agency and knowing the new regulations are the keys to success.
