    Why Bulgaria

    The Strategic Case for Bulgarian Talent

    From EU freedom of movement to top-tier technical education and unmatched cost-efficiency — Bulgaria is the hidden gem of European workforce sourcing.

    EU Citizens — Zero Red Tape

    Bulgarian workers are full EU citizens with unrestricted freedom of movement. No work permits, no visa processes — they can be seconded or directly hired across the EU immediately, with the same legal framework as any Western European national.

    Among the Lowest Labour Costs in the EU

    Bulgaria consistently ranks as one of the most cost-competitive EU labour markets. Hourly labour costs are 40–55% below Western European averages, delivering significant savings on secondment and direct hire — while fully respecting host-country wage rules.

    Strong Technical & Academic Education

    Bulgaria has a deep polytechnic tradition with strong universities in Sofia, Plovdiv, and Varna. The country produces thousands of engineering, IT, and technical graduates annually — many of whom are multilingual (English, German, Russian).

    Full EU Secondment Directive Compliance

    Under Directive 96/71/EC and the 2018 revision, Bulgarian workers can be legally seconded across the EU with host-country wages applied. Intermann's Roussé office manages all compliance: A1 certificates, secondment declarations, and payroll documentation.

    Multilingual & Adaptable Professionals

    Bulgarian professionals are widely recognised for their adaptability, strong work ethic, and multilingual capabilities — English, German, and Russian being the most common. Cultural integration in Western European companies is consistently smooth.

    Rapid Deployment from Roussé

    With our dedicated office in Roussé — Bulgaria's second largest city and an economic hub — we source and screen Bulgarian candidates locally, maintaining a live database of pre-vetted profiles ready for deployment within 3 weeks.

    Legal Framework

    Secondment from Bulgaria — 100% EU Compliant

    As a full EU member state since 2007, Bulgaria is entirely integrated into the European posted workers framework. Under the Posted Workers Directive (96/71/EC) and its 2018 enforcement revision, Bulgarian workers can be legally seconded anywhere in the EU — with full social insurance coverage, host-country wage compliance, and complete administrative documentation.

    Intermann's Roussé office — located at Oborishté n°9 — handles the entire compliance pipeline for every country we operate in, from A1 certificates to local labour declarations, so your company takes on zero administrative risk.

    01

    A1 Certificate

    Issued by the Bulgarian National Social Security Institute — proves the worker remains under Bulgarian social security during the secondment and avoids double contributions.

    02

    Secondment Declaration

    Filed with the host country's Labour Inspection authority before the mission starts. Intermann handles SIPSI (France), LIMOSA (Belgium), MELDEPFLICHT (Germany) and others.

    03

    Host-Country Wage Compliance

    Since the 2018 revision of the Directive, seconded workers must receive host-country minimum or sector-specific collective wages. Intermann ensures full wage compliance in every operating country.

    04

    Contract & HR Documentation

    Secondment addendums, translations, and all required HR documents are prepared and archived by Intermann — ensuring your company is audit-proof at all times.
