THE TRUE COST OF A BAD HIRE

The Mass
Market

  • Volume focus: You receive dozens of CVs picked by keyword matching, with no real coverage of the technical requirements.
  • Probation failures: Candidates routinely fail the 6-month probation period due to cultural or technical mismatch.
  • Hidden costs: You lose months of your Senior engineers’ and HR team’s valuable time on fruitless onboarding.
  • Short guarantee: Agencies rush free replacements, locking you into an endless cycle of failed hires.

The TechWork.bg
Standard

  • Targeted headhunting: We present highly selected senior and hard-to-find technology specialists with proven track records who are passively considering their next step.
  • Successful probation: 98% of candidates placed through us successfully pass their probation period.
  • Long-term retention: The average tenure across tracked placements is 4-5+ years.
* Data based on tracked placements delivered by the TechWork.bg team. Last updated: July 2026.
