It works very well - proven! We have numerous Austrian partner companies that already employ workers in various fields through payment partners in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we are extremely satisfied. As a rule, it is not limited to one employee, but is extended to other workplaces.

Yes, most of our employees even have C1/2 certificates from the international Goethe Institute. The German language is widespread in Bosnia and is taught as a foreign language in schools as a standard language. The reasons for this affinity are 100 years of shared history with Austria, since its annexation in 1908 under the Habsburgs, as well as numerous Bosnians who immigrated to Austria after the Balkan War in the 90s and still live or have families there today. and therefore have a strong bond. Last but not least, TV channels play a significant role, as surprisingly the first contact points with the language were cartoons on German TV channels.

Bosnians are Europeans by all criteria and are known for hard work, skill, order and discipline. Both geographical proximity and a similar culture create ideal conditions for employment. State borders are only about 200 km away. Unlike other countries and cultures, the work mentality here is almost the same.

Austria has been one of the largest international investors in BiH for years and almost all well-known companies such as Raiffeisen, OMV, ERSTE etc. are represented. The contractual basis is a standard service contract concluded between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Austria GmbH. In addition, due to the "reverse charge procedure" VAT is no longer applied, so only the net amount constitutes the invoice amount!

The cost advantage is the result of economically different wage levels between the two economies. The wage gap creates a potential outsourcing opportunity that benefits everyone involved. Therefore, financial benefits have nothing to do with the quality of employees.

Since COVID-19 at the latest, "teleworking" has become widespread around the world and has become indispensable due to its numerous advantages. It is now a common practice not only in the IT industry, but also in any other industry where circumstances allow. Of course, there are even greater advantages in an international constellation if you use different salary levels through outsourcing, as in the example of Austria and Bosnia.
