Emplofox helps Nordic construction companies fill skills gaps with pre-screened tradespeople from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Ukraine. We handle sourcing, verification and coordination from the first shortlist to the first shift.
When a site is short on skilled workers, delays become expensive. We help you get qualified candidates quickly, without a long recruitment process.
We verify experience, certificates, references and availability before candidates reach your inbox. You remain responsible for your own legal, tax and site-compliance checks, and we provide the documentation you need to complete them.
You get one point of contact from the first brief to the first shift. We coordinate sourcing, interviews, documentation and arrival support.
Carpenters, concrete workers, welders, finishers, machine operators, MEP trades, scaffolders and general site workers. Certificates, licences, references and relevant experience are checked before candidates are presented.

Need a trade that isn't listed? Ask us — we source on request.
Trade, number of workers, site location, start date and project duration.
We search our network across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Ukraine.
We check certificates, licences, references, availability, previous Nordic site experience and communication ability.
We arrange interviews and provide the relevant candidate information clearly.
We coordinate the practical details and stay available while the placement gets started.
One point of contact coordinates the whole process, so your project team can stay on the site instead of chasing candidates.
Tell us what you need →Emplofox is a recruitment partner. Employer obligations, site registration and your own legal and compliance checks remain with your company.
You wait for applications, screen every CV yourself and rarely reach tradespeople who are not actively looking.
Sourcing across several countries means new contacts, unverified certificates and a lot of coordination for your project team.
One point of contact, a regional network already in place, certificates and references verified before you see the shortlist.
Whichever model you choose, the rate is agreed before sourcing starts and there is no fee until you hire.
You agree an hourly rate per tradesperson before sourcing starts. Useful for project peaks and shorter assignments.
For direct hires onto your own payroll: you pay a single placement fee once the tradesperson starts.
We recruit for Nordic construction companies every day, so we know what site managers expect from a candidate before the first shift.
Candidates familiar with how Nordic construction sites are run: planning routines, quality expectations and documented work.
Safety culture and clear communication matter as much as trade skill, so both are part of our screening.
Candidates arrive with realistic expectations, benchmarked against the conditions in your market.
We coordinate the practical side of the move so the candidate is ready for the first shift.
Emplofox connects Nordic construction companies with skilled tradespeople from Eastern Europe. We combine regional sourcing with a clear understanding of Nordic construction sites.
Our role is to make cross-border recruitment easier, more transparent and more reliable — from the first requirement to the first shift.
“We were short of carpenters on a housing project and needed people who could work to our standard from day one. The shortlist came quickly and the documentation was in order.”
“What mattered to us was verified certificates and clear communication. Candidates had worked on Nordic sites before, so onboarding was straightforward.”
“One point of contact through the whole process. Questions were answered the same day, and the practical details around arrival were handled.”
We aim to present a candidate shortlist within 7 days. From your approval, arrival on site typically takes one to three weeks depending on notice periods, travel and your onboarding process.
We source from our regional network across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Ukraine. Many candidates have previous experience on Nordic construction sites.
Trade certificates, licences and machine tickets, work references, availability, previous Nordic site experience and communication ability. You still complete your own legal, tax and site-registration checks; we provide the documentation to support them.
No. One tradesperson is as welcome a request as a full crew, and the process is the same.
You pay an agreed hourly rate per worker or a one-off placement fee for direct hires — your choice. We quote a clear rate up front and there is no fee until you hire.
We place candidates whose right to work we have checked before shortlisting. Site registration and employer obligations remain on your side, and we supply the candidate documentation you need.
We assess communication ability as part of screening, and candidates presented for Nordic sites speak working English. For larger crews we can identify a lead who relays instructions and briefings.
Replacement support applies according to the agreed terms, within four months of the placement start. Tell us and we start a new search at no additional search fee.
No. Accommodation, site registration, tax and local compliance are your responsibility. We handle sourcing, verification and reference checks — the candidate is ready, the practical side of the move is yours.
