Lundi supports compliant employment in Hungary — Budapest for SSC, finance, and tech. Strong central European hub with EU compliance and meaningful tech ecosystem. For larger SSC teams Poland typically wins on scale; for engineering Romania often wins on cost.
Hungary has a mature SSC and tech sector concentrated in Budapest — Morgan Stanley, Citibank, BlackRock, plus a substantial tech and gaming ecosystem (NNG, LogMeIn heritage). Hungarian forint (HUF) is the local currency. Employer social contributions run ~13–16% above gross (one of CEE's lower rates). Strong fit for SSC, finance operations, and mid-size engineering teams. For larger-scale SSC operations Lundi typically recommends Poland (deeper SSC ecosystem). For cost-driven engineering Romania often wins. For companies building teams of 10+, not individual hires.
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.

Termination of a permanent contract with cause requires a notice period of at least 30 days. This can be extended in proportion to the length of the service, if the termination is carried out by the employer.
Employers terminating an employee can offer a “garden leave” for half of the notice period. During this period, the employee will be exempt from work duties, but is still entitled to their absentee pay.
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.
