How much does it cost to hire an IT specialist in Poland? What rates should employers offer in 2024?
When discussing rates for job positions, it’s crucial to consider various factors. Candidates on LinkedIn might express interest in certain monthly rates, but these figures may not necessarily reflect their actual earnings. To address this, I prefer outlining the salary range upfront to set clear expectations. If the candidate finds it unsatisfactory, other perks like training budgets, vacation days, or flexible work arrangements can sway their decision. However, when discrepancies persist between job seekers’ financial expectations and offered salaries, it’s essential to alert the Hiring Manager.
For context, let’s look at Software Architect rates, I am currently working on one of the senior-level roles for a customer in Poland, and they start from 30 000 PLN gross up to 40 000 PLN gross on FTE. Software Engineering Managers, are very close to Software Architect when it comes to their expectations – rates start from 30 000 PLN up to 40 000 PLN gross per month.

Ask smart questions and identify real motivation triggers. In the IT sector, the pay is lucrative, but attracting the right candidates goes beyond money. Seek those intrigued by project opportunities, sector alignment, and your brand’s appeal. Stability counts too, not just project duration but the allure of a product company employer.
Approach Matters:
Recruiters should ditch negative biases and the belief that roles can’t be filled. Every candidate is unique, not part of a majority. 😉
Technical Focus:
To boost your candidate pool, pinpoint specific skills for each role. Identify crucial job skills versus teachable ones. Emphasize the value candidates bring. For instance, a Cloud DevOps role requires infrastructure setup expertise but cloud skills can be taught.
Recruitment Tip:
Select job titles wisely for job board postings. Avoid overly fancy titles that may attract only senior, costly candidates. Opt for names that appeal to a broader range of specialists.
