Balkaninvest is a recruitment agency located in Sofia. Since 2009, they have assisted companies in highly competitive industries in finding candidates for management and specialized roles that are impactful. Their recruitment methods include advertising, social media, networking, a database, and direct search (headhunting). The majority of their clients are international firms, primarily from Western Europe. They do not specialize in any specific segment or seniority level for the mandates they accept, but most of their searches focus on roles such as founders. Dirk Steffes-tun, a permanent resident of Bulgaria and a German citizen, is very active in networking and has a strong grasp of the local management landscape, especially among mid to senior-level professionals in German companies or those engaged in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). In addition to traditional recruitment, he is keenly interested in emerging trends in social recruiting, employer branding, and direct sourcing, often attending and speaking at conferences and workshops. Furthermore, the agency has recognized recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) as a potential niche and has initiated its first projects for small to medium-sized enterprises in Germany and Switzerland. If you need a reliable and experienced HR partner for smaller projects (not mass recruitment), especially in the IT field, please reach out to one of our consultants.
