    Companies Scaling with Alcor

    Alcor is a reliable partner that meets our hiring needs. We finally hired experienced software engineers in Eastern Europe with strong tech skills and business acumen. Account Managers are awesome!

    Andrii Akselrod CTO People.ai

    With Alcor’s all-in-one solution, we got a software R&D office with 15 senior PHP devs and a compliant operational coverage. I really appreciated their transparent pricing structure and deep expertise.

    Boris Glants CTO Tonic Health

    We interviewed a lot of EoR platforms and companies, but Alcor was the only one that provides a combo package of EoR and Recruting offerings. Alcor helped us build a full stack team in 1.5 month.

    Dmitrii Iermiichuk Head of Engineering Gotransverse

    We wanted to switch from our outsourcing provider, and Alcor has become really game-changing for us. Within a mere 6 months, we got a fully-fledged team of 30 engineers in our own R&D office.

    Elena Leonova Director of Product Management BigСommerce

    Alcor’s R&D solution eclipses full-cycle recruitment, EOR service, and operational support for our offshore team. Their ‘all-in-one place’ approach is far more cost-effective than I could’ve imagined.

    Farhad Shamshirzan
    Farhad Shamshirzan Director of Software Engineering Certent

    I value their commitment to going the extra mile. We evolved from an outstaff project into an independent company, and Alcor’s support was crucial. They hired and ondoarded 15+ professionals for us.

    Grigoriy Didorenko Research and Development Director BIScience

    Thanks to Alcor, we hired four engineers and a designer that strengthened our team. Beside stellar recruitment, Alcor flawlessly handled our payroll. Their approach was seamless and swift.

    Kirill Latish Head of Engineering & Communications Velory

    Alcor closed our 4 QA positions in a month and more than doubled the team in a year! We chose Alcor because of their communication style, cost, scope of services, and ideas to help us be successful.

    Vitalii Belelia Production Management & App Support Manager Ledger

    Expanding our engineering team outside the US with Alcor was a game-changer! They found 15 talented developers and provided seamless EOR & operational support. Great responsiveness to our needs!

    katherine-laggos-chartbeat
    Katherine Laggos VP People & Culture Chartbeat

    Alcor’s flexible model helped us scale from 0 to 30 devs in a year first, and then to 50! No buy-out fees, seamless hiring, and top-tier talent. A hassle-free way to grow without setting up a subsidiary!

    Neeraj Gupta CTO Pindrop

    Alcor helped us hire the top 5% of tech talent while building our employer brand. They were proactive, never compromised on quality, and delivered. Three years later, our hires are still thriving!

    Simina Simion ex-VP of People Tubular Labs

    Will there ever be a shortage of IT talent in Europe and how can Alcor address it?

    While Europe is facing tech talent shortage, McKinsey advises to continuously scan the market for new hires and explore partnerships to bridge the talent gap.

    Partner with Alcor: our 40 tech headhunters in Europe and a vetted network of over 253,000 candidates make recruiting for tech roles in Europe quick, efficient, and shortage-proof.

    What is the best strategy to hire tech talent in Europe?

    The best strategy for tech companies is to partner with a local provider that has a solid team of tech recruiters with experience in end-to-end hiring of senior developers and headhunting C-level and rare specialists in Europe. 

    Alcor’s 40 senior tech recruiters have already assembled teams of 20-30 elite developers for Sift, LivePerson, Dotmatics, and Ledger. We find IT talent in Europe in 2-6 weeks, while the average tenure of our hires is 2.5 years. Contact us to discuss your team scaling needs!

    Do you use FTE or B2B models of employment when recruiting for tech roles in Europe?

    We hire tech talent in Europe both on a B2B and FTE basis. Which one should you choose as a tech executive?

    B2B contracts are the simplest way to hire remote developers, as you don’t need a legal entity to recruit IT talent in Europe. You can pay higher net salaries while avoiding costly social security contributions, payroll tax, and personal income tax—your tech workers handle their tax obligations. Alcor can also handle this function, so your developers can have peace of mind. Plus, our lawyers can advise you on contract provisions, ensuring you hire tech talent from Europe on the best terms for both parties.

    Want to hire a software development team in Europe on an FTE basis? Alcor’s Employer of Record service has you covered. We already have legal entities overseas, so you bypass business incorporation hurdles. Our lawyers will draft tech-focused employment contracts, with local labor law specifics included, and mitigate any risks related to worker misclassification, social security, and tax obligations. Meanwhile, Alcor’s payroll specialists will take care of taxes, social contributions, and accurate salary payouts so you can focus on your product development instead.
