Recruitment agency partnerships

Make your clients Malta-ready before they hire.

You have placed the candidate. Your client has no Maltese entity, no employment contract and no way to run payroll. Visio closes that gap — company formation, employment law, work permits, HR and payroll — so your placement completes.

  • Removes the pre-hire blocker
  • Referral or white-label models

Questions

Partnering with Visio — common questions

What agency directors ask before referring their first client.

How does the partnership actually work?

Two common models. In a referral partnership you introduce the client and we contract with them directly, keeping you updated on progress so you can time your placement. In a white-label arrangement we work behind your brand as your Malta setup team. Both are non-exclusive and there is no volume commitment.

What if my client has no Maltese entity at all?

That is the usual starting point. We incorporate the company with the Malta Business Registry, handle tax and VAT registration, register the client as an employer, then prepare the employment contracts and payroll so the hire can proceed. In many cases the client can be ready to employ well before the candidate's notice period expires.

Can you help place third-country nationals?

Yes. We handle Single Permit (work permit) applications, the Key Employee Initiative and Specialist Employee Initiative for senior and specialist roles, intra-corporate transfers, and the pre-departure orientation course requirements that apply to first-time applicants from abroad.

Is this an employer of record service?

Not quite — and the distinction matters. Rather than employing the candidate on the client's behalf indefinitely, we set the client up to employ people in their own name in Malta, which is usually cleaner for long-term and senior hires. If a client genuinely needs a short-term bridge before their entity is live, talk to us about the options.

Which markets do you work with most?

Most of our inbound agency work involves UK, German, Dutch and Eastern European companies hiring into Malta, typically in technology, iGaming, fintech and financial services. That said, the process is the same for any jurisdiction.

What does it cost my agency?

Nothing. Referral partnerships cost the agency nothing — we are engaged and paid by the end client. White-label arrangements are scoped individually. Book a call and we will set out the model that fits how you work.
