Why Romania
The Strategic Case for Romanian Talent
From EU freedom of movement to top-tier technical education, Romania offers a unique combination of advantages that no other European country can match at this cost level.
Highly Educated Workforce
Romania produces over 50,000 engineering and technical graduates per year. The country ranks among the top 3 EU nations for engineering graduate density, with strong French-language programs.
Significant Cost Advantage
Romanian salaries are 40–60% lower than Western European equivalents, while maintaining European quality standards. For secondment, this differential creates substantial savings with full EU legal compliance.
EU Secondment Directive Compliance
Under EU Directive 96/71/EC and 2018/957, Romanian workers can be seconded across the EU with host-country wages applied. Intermann manages all A1 certificates, social security declarations, and compliance documentation.
Strong Professional Culture
Romanian professionals are recognised for their rigorous work ethic, adaptability, and professionalism. Many speak French, English, or German, making integration seamless in Western European companies.
Rapid Deployment — 3 Weeks Average
With our Bucharest HQ and proprietary database of thousands of pre-screened Romanian candidates, we consistently deliver interview-ready shortlists within 3 weeks of mandate kick-off.

Legal Framework
Secondment from Romania — 100% EU Compliant
As an EU member state, Romania is fully integrated into the European secondment framework. Under the Posted Workers Directive (96/71/EC) and its 2018 revision, Romanian workers can be legally seconded to any EU country with full social security coverage, host-country wages, and complete audit documentation.
Intermann manages the entire compliance process — from A1 certificates to SIPSI declarations in France, LIMOSA in Belgium, or MELDEPFLICHT in Germany — so your HR team focuses on integration, not paperwork.
01
A1 Certificate
Issued by the Romanian social security authority — confirms the worker remains under Romanian social insurance during the secondment period.
02
Secondment Declaration
Filed with the host country's Labour Inspection authority before work starts. Intermann handles this for every country in which we operate.
03
Host-Country Wage Application
Since 2018, seconded workers receive host-country minimum/collective wages. Intermann ensures full compliance with local wage rules in France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Switzerland.
04

Addendum to employment contract, translations, and all HR documentation are prepared and archived by Intermann — audit-proof.
