Why STARKO
What you get when you work with us
Free replacement
If a worker isn’t the right fit, we replace them at no extra cost.
One invoice
We handle contracts, payroll, ZUS (social security) and paperwork. You get a single invoice.
Accommodation for your staff
Our own hostels and flats close to your site. If you don’t need accommodation, we won’t push it.
Our own transport
We bring people to their shifts with our own vehicles and drivers.
Team leaders and coordinators
A team leader manages the people on site, and a coordinator keeps in touch with you every day.
Fully legal

Ways to work with us
We take on as much as you need
Staff leasing
Formally, the people work for us: contracts, payroll, ZUS and paperwork are our responsibility, and you get one invoice. It’s easy to grow the team for the season and scale it down when there’s less work.
Recruitment
We find and vet candidates, and you hire them yourself. For permanent roles where stability matters.
Outsourcing
We take over a whole area: packing, order picking or cleaning. Our team leader manages the people, and you receive the finished work.
