About Petronord — Licensed European Staffing Agency

Petronord OÜ is a licensed staff leasing, recruitment, and workforce outsourcing agency headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia. Since our founding, we have grown to become one of the most trusted staffing partners for companies operating across Northern Europe — serving clients in Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.

With over 10 years of hands-on experience in the Nordic staffing market and more than 2,500 workers successfully placed, we understand the unique challenges of cross-border employment in Europe. Our mission is simple: connect qualified workers with companies that need them — quickly, compliantly, and reliably.

Who We Are

Petronord is not just a staffing agency — we are a full-service workforce solutions provider. Our team combines deep knowledge of European labor markets with practical experience in construction, manufacturing, logistics, and cleaning industries. We speak the languages of both employers and workers: Estonian, English, Russian, and Finnish.

Our headquarters in Tallinn gives us a strategic advantage. Estonia sits at the crossroads of Scandinavia, Russia, and continental Europe, providing access to diverse talent pools while maintaining the regulatory stability of an EU member state. From this base, we coordinate operations across five countries, managing everything from initial recruitment to ongoing employment administration.

Our Mission

We believe every company deserves access to reliable, qualified workforce — regardless of borders. And every worker deserves fair employment conditions, stable pay, and professional treatment. Our mission is to bridge the gap between European employers facing labor shortages and skilled workers seeking opportunities.

For employers, this means getting the workers you need within days, not months. Full legal compliance in every country. Transparent pricing with no hidden costs. And a dedicated team available to support you around the clock.

For workers, this means official employment contracts, competitive wages, insurance coverage, pension contributions, and support throughout the entire employment journey — from initial application to relocation and daily work life.

What We Do

Staff Leasing

Staff leasing is our core service and accounts for the majority of our operations. In this model, workers are employed by Petronord and deployed to work at our client companies’ sites. We handle all employment administration — contracts, wages, taxes, insurance, and compliance — while clients manage the daily work. This gives companies maximum flexibility to scale their workforce without administrative burden. Workers can be deployed within 3-5 business days.

Recruitment

Our recruitment service helps companies find permanent employees. We manage the entire hiring process from job profiling and candidate sourcing to screening, interviews, and onboarding support. Our extensive database of 3,000+ registered professionals and active recruitment channels across the EU ensure we find the right candidates for your specific needs.

Outsourcing

Through workforce outsourcing, we take complete responsibility for managing entire operational functions. Whether it’s cleaning services, warehouse operations, production line staffing, or construction crew management, we provide managed teams with our own supervision and quality control. You define the outcomes, we deliver them.
