Hiring done like it actually matters.
WorkVibes helps companies across Bulgaria hire the people they can't afford to get wrong, and helps international companies build and run new teams here from day one. Recruitment first, with the cost, setup and people work handled around it.
Two situations, one capability.
Whether you're hiring into a team you already have or building one from scratch, you need the same thing: a partner who knows the talent market, the real cost, and how to put the right people in the right seats.
Recruitment & executive search
For the mid, senior and leadership roles where fit and speed both matter. We treat each hire as a business decision, position it honestly, and bring real market knowledge to every shortlist, not CV forwarding.
Market entry & team build
From talent benchmarking and cost modelling to a team that's hired, legal, paid and working, one partner, one timeline. Proven with regulated fintech, ready for any function.
We don't just send CVs.
Most recruiters stop at the shortlist. We start from what the role actually needs to deliver, position it honestly to the right people, and run a process that respects candidates and protects your name in the market. And when you're building something bigger, we coordinate the cost, hiring and operational setup so the team is real and working, not just signed.
Three ways we help you hire and grow.

Hire the right people for the roles that matter, mid, senior and leadership, with real market knowledge behind every shortlist.

People hire people. So it matters who you'll actually work with.
I'm Ventsislava Nikolova. For over a decade I've helped companies in Bulgaria and beyond hire well, build teams and keep them. I work hands-on, say the honest thing, and treat every brief as if it were my own company, not a ticket to close.
More about me →The platforms we build on.
When a client needs the tooling to make change real, we implement and run the platforms we trust, as a certified partner.
The all-in-one app for internal communication, culture and employee experience, used by 1,000+ organisations worldwide. We implement it so transformation isn't just visible, but felt.
A modern ATS that turns hiring into a competitive edge, branded career pages, campaigns and a clean pipeline. We set it up, run it and train your team.
The work, in their words.
"Before working with WorkVibes, we struggled to align internal culture with our external brand. They gave us a consistent story to share with the world, and it changed how we hire and retain talent."
"WorkVibes guided us through a full brand audit, EVP development and content strategy that not only elevated our image, but improved our employee engagement scores in under a year."
"We came with retention issues and a team that felt disconnected. What we got was clarity, structure and the tools to rebuild trust inside the company."
"We needed a compliance team on the ground in months, not quarters. WorkVibes ran the whole thing, hiring, setup, all of it, and the team was working before we expected to finish recruiting."
"They found us a senior hire two previous agencies had told us didn't exist in this market. The difference was that they actually understood the role, not just the keywords."
"Our hiring used to put off the exact people we wanted. WorkVibes rebuilt how we talk to candidates, and our offer-acceptance rate climbed within a quarter."
