Our Story

Built on Trust, Driven by Results

We don't rely on documents and references alone — we meet in person with the people we recommend to our partners.

Personal, On-Site Selection

To guarantee the quality and reliability of every candidate, our company's manager personally travels to Nepal, Thailand, and the Philippines to conduct individual interviews on the ground.

These meetings assess each candidate's professional experience, practical skills, motivation, and readiness to adapt to the expectations of Bulgarian employers.

After this initial selection, we present employers with only a carefully vetted shortlist. For added confidence, every employer can run their own online interview with the chosen candidates before making a final hiring decision.

This personal approach raises the quality of every placement, saves employers time, and builds trust at each step of the process.

The Problem We Solve

Why Bulgaria Needs Us

Labor Shortage

Bulgaria faces a 200K+ worker gap in hospitality, manufacturing, and care sectors.

Local hiring drags 6+ months and often fails. We deliver fully vetted, permit-ready teams in 3–5 months — and they stay 3+ years.

Legal Complexity

Cross-border employment law is dense. We handle every document.

Turnover

Our placements average 3+ years tenure vs. industry 14-month average.

Tenure and time-to-hire figures are Personela's own placement data. For the underlying Bulgarian labour-market picture, see the vacancy and employment statistics published by the National Statistical Institute and the Employment Agency of Bulgaria.
