Lundi supports compliant employment in Croatia for specialist hires and small teams — particularly Zagreb tech and Split/Rijeka coastal operations. For larger SSC and engineering teams we typically recommend Poland, Romania, or Bulgaria.
Croatia joined the eurozone in 2023; the country has a growing tech sector concentrated in Zagreb (Infobip, Rimac alumni, plus regional software development), with secondary hubs in Split and Rijeka attractive for lifestyle-driven roles. Employer social contributions run ~16.5% above gross. Strong fit for specialist engineering hires, small distributed teams, or coastal lifestyle-oriented operations. For larger SSC and engineering teams Lundi typically recommends Poland, Romania, or Bulgaria — deeper talent pools and more mature international-employer infrastructure.
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.

In Croatia, the notice period is defined by law and varies depending on the length of continuous employment, and potentially with age. It goes 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.
