A new European market.
No local subsidiary.

Expanding operations into Poland or Romania without a local legal entity means employment contracts in a grey area. The European EOR market is growing at 6.5% a year because companies prefer to operate legally from day one rather than incorporate in every country.

Expansion, GDPR for candidate data and the EU AI Act in recruitment

HR tech platforms and companies expanding across Europe need to operate in multiple markets with different employment frameworks, keep candidate data compliant with the GDPR and now manage AI recruitment tools under the EU AI Act.

Expansion without structure A new European country without a subsidiary: a real legal grey area

Hiring employees in Poland or Romania without a local legal entity means contracts that European labour regulators will not tolerate indefinitely. People Operations under Estonian law solves this within weeks, without incorporating a company, with full compliance with European employment law.

GDPR for candidate data CVs, assessments and references: sensitive personal data

Candidate data includes biographical information and assessments that the GDPR treats with specific obligations. 60% of European organisations report difficulties ensuring compliance when implementing HR tech that handles sensitive employee data.

EU AI Act · AI recruitment AI screening tools classified as high-risk

The EU AI Act classifies AI systems for recruitment and performance management as high-risk. Since 2 February 2025, emotion recognition in the workplace has been prohibited, including in interviews. The high-risk obligations for candidate screening tools (Annex III) apply from 2 December 2027.
