Lundi supports compliant employment in Albania for specialist hires and small teams. For teams of 10+, we typically recommend Poland, Romania, or Serbia for larger SSC and engineering operations — they offer deeper talent pools and more mature international-employer infrastructure at comparable cost.
Albania has an emerging tech and BPO sector — particularly in Tirana — with low employer-side costs and improving English proficiency among younger professionals. Lek (ALL) is the local currency; employer social contributions run ~16.7% above gross. Senior tech and English-fluent talent pool is smaller than neighboring Western Balkans markets. Strong fit for specialist hires, small distributed teams, or operations specifically valuing Albanian-language coverage. For teams of 10+ we typically recommend Poland, Romania, or Serbia.
What it costs to employ someone through Lundi.
Lundi's cost is the all-in cost of the employee — gross salary plus statutory employer contributions plus customary benefits — and a Lundi management fee on top. The management fee depends on team size and scope: smaller teams pay a higher per-head rate, teams of 20+ get materially better unit economics, and Build–Operate–Transfer engagements are structured separately.
The alternative paths look like: setting up your own local entity (meaningful months of legal and accounting work, plus ongoing in-country HR, payroll, and compliance infrastructure), engaging a local recruitment agency on contingency (typically a percentage of first-year compensation, paid once, with no ongoing employment relationship), or hiring as a contractor (lower upfront cost, real misclassification risk in most jurisdictions). Lundi is faster than entity setup, structurally different from contingency recruitment, and lower-risk than contractor arrangements.

The notice period in Albania depends on the length of employment. The breakdown is as follows:
Lundi works with companies building teams of 10 or more across business, technical, and operational functions . Not for one-off hires or individual placements.
EOR platforms employ individuals for you. Lundi recruits, employs, and operates concentrated teams — including day-to-day management, HR, and an optional path to your own entity. It's the operating model for companies that have outgrown the EOR ceiling.
