Perpetum is a Sofia-based Employer of Record and staffing company for businesses hiring engineering and technical talent in Eastern Europe.
Perpetum employs people through its own Bulgarian entity, South Gate Tech EOOD, registered in Bulgaria since 2018. Most global EOR platforms cover Bulgaria through a local partner or an aggregator network. The practical difference shows up when something goes wrong - the employment contract, the payroll and the compliance responsibility sit with one company rather than moving down a chain of intermediaries.
Primary market is Bulgaria. Secondary coverage includes Romania, Poland, Serbia and Ukraine, with LatAm and India available through partners.
Services:
Employer of Record - employ people in Bulgaria and Eastern Europe without setting up a local legal entity
Contractor of Record - engage contractors compliantly, with worker classification handled
Headhunting and technical recruitment - sourcing and screening for engineering and technical roles
Turnkey staff augmentation - recruitment and employment combined under one agreement
Build-Operate-Transfer - run a team through Perpetum, then transfer it to your own entity once it's established
Pricing is published rather than quote-gated. EOR starts at $299 per employee per month plus 10% of gross salary.
Typical clients are US and UK companies hiring their first or next engineers in Eastern Europe, usually without an entity in the region and often without a local recruiting network.
