STAFF LEASING,
INCREASINGLY POPULAR E-search is a small family-owned firm working in HR for 20 years now. Their reference list holds a number of companies from the IT world and other fields, including successful cooperation with Microsoft Development Centre Serbia since day one.

ur guiding principle is that only the best can succeed in a turbulent business environment such as our market - says Mrs. Bojadžievska, adding that for them, quality is the key to all success.

Today, E-search also recruits students for certain types of expert teams that operate in the above sector.
