Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about student employment — in one place.
None at all! After signing, we start recruitment and our service fee only applies when a pre-screened student we've sent is a good match for you.
Our minimum service fee is determined by the Cooperative Act. In 2026, it's HUF 330 or 382, which is 17.8% of the hourly minimum wage and guaranteed minimum wage.
Request an official quote on our website, then one of our colleagues will contact you by phone with the contract details, which can be signed digitally or in printed form.
We can work with both Hungarian and foreign legal entities without restrictions. However, it's important to know that our service is subject to VAT, so this may be an additional cost for VAT-exempt organizations.
After signing the contract, you need to fill out a form with the search details (hourly rate, location, etc.). Then one of our recruitment project managers arranges a meeting with you to review the ad, and candidates start coming in!
In every collaboration, our partners indicate what kind of students they want to hire. If we find suitable candidates, then after the hire, you pay either a recruitment fee or exclusively a service fee. It's a success-fee model because you only pay for students approved by you, with no obligations beforehand.
Yes, for students under 25, no taxes need to be paid up to the average wage level.
After we approve the timesheets (students and partners), we send them for a final check, and based on the reported hours, we issue the invoice and transfer the students' wages.
All student employment costs, including registration fees, monthly payroll processing, and wage transfers.
To a certain extent, yes! We have liability insurance that covers a significant portion of damages. For details, please contact our sales team.
