Baltic Recruitment Services Case Study

Baltic Recruitment Services offers a professional recruitment and staffing solution to businesses looking to recruit for the tourism, farm and construction industries. Baltic Recruitment Services specialises in Polish, Eastern European and other EU staffing requirements. With two offices in the UK and offices Poland, they help companies to find the perfect solution to their recruitment and staffing needs.

Due to the growth in the number of workers arriving in the UK from the new European Union member countries (as of 2004), Baltic Recruitment Services decided to expand into international markets, initially opening an office in Poland. Recognising the potential of recruiting from Eastern Europe they decided to offer their recruitment services in other Western European markets. It was identified that key markets within Europe for their services would be Spain, Finland and Sweden, resulting in the decision to localise their website so that it would appeal to companies based in each of these countries who were looking for a simple one stop solution to their recruitment needs.
