Hire software engineers in Cyprus
Cyprus doesn’t have a hiring problem. It has a supply problem. The island’s tech sector is growing faster than its talent pool – and every fintech in Limassol is chasing the same twenty senior engineers.
Why Cyprus
A market that outgrew its talent pool
Tech drives 16% of Cyprus’s gross value added – up from 12.6% a year earlier – and the sector supports 62,000 jobs, 45,900 of them direct (KPMG, 2024). The demand sits in three dense clusters: forex and fintech in Limassol, iGaming across Limassol and Nicosia, and a fast-growing adtech and AI scene.
The problem is arithmetic. In 2015, 88% of the island’s ICT workforce was Cypriot. By 2024, it was 50%, with 42% of roles filled by non-EU nationals. Half of Cyprus tech is already hired from abroad – the companies that win here are the ones that do it best. That is the work we do, three ways:
Local
Candidates already in Limassol, Nicosia, Larnaca and Paphos – who know the market and onboard fast.
Remote
Senior engineers from Armenia and seven European hubs, working your hours. The supply the island doesn’t have.
Relocation
The right person, moved to the island – supported through the offer, the move and onboarding.
The fit
Who this is for
This is for product companies, fintechs and iGaming teams in Cyprus that want clarity over volume – judgment over a stack of CVs. It is also for international companies entering Cyprus that need their first hires to be right, not fast. It is not for everyone. If you want fifty resumes by Friday, we are not your agency.

Questions
Straight answers
Can you hire people who are already in Cyprus?
Yes. We source locally – and we’ll tell you honestly when the person you’re looking for doesn’t exist on the island, and what the alternatives cost.
Do you relocate engineers to Cyprus?
Yes. Relocation from Armenia and the EU is one of the three routes we run, and we stay involved through the move and onboarding.
How fast can you fill a role?
We set a realistic timeline per role at the start. Anyone who promises every role in two weeks is quoting a marketing page, not your role.
What does it cost?
Success-based fee with a guarantee period. We quote per role, transparently, before we start.
