Manuvia is among the largest HR and recruitment agencies in Slovakia
Manuvia has confirmed its position among the key players in the Slovak HR and recruitment market. In the special Career Guide 2026 edition by The Slovak Spectator, it ranked in two main rankings of the largest staffing companies in Slovakia.
In the 10 Largest Recruitment Agencies ranking, Manuvia took 2nd place. At the same time, it ranked 3rd in the 10 Largest Temporary Employment Agencies category. This is an important confirmation of the company’s stable position in a market that has changed significantly in recent years under the influence of demographics, candidate shortages, rising labour costs, digitalization and international recruitment.
A strong position in both recruitment and temporary employment
The recruitment agencies ranking evaluates the number of filled positions, distinguishing between the white-collar and blue-collar segments. The temporary employment agencies ranking takes into account a combination of the number of assigned employees and the number of hours worked. In both areas, Manuvia ranked among the absolute leaders of the Slovak market. In the field of temporary employment, it reached 2,030 assigned employees in 2025 and more than 2.22 million hours worked. In the ranking source data, it also ranks 1st by average revenues for the years 2022 to 2024. These results show not only the scope of Manuvia’s services, but also its ability to respond to client needs across various market segments in the long term – from production, logistics and services to specialist and administrative positions.

A result built on the trust of clients and candidates
We see our placement in The Slovak Spectator rankings as confirmation of the work of our teams across Slovakia. The staffing market today is more demanding than ever before. Companies need to fill positions quickly, but also with quality and sustainability. Candidates expect fair communication, reliable information and support throughout the entire recruitment process. It is precisely in this combination that we see our added value. Manuvia connects local market knowledge, experience with high-volume recruitment, international hiring, data-driven approaches and modern technologies. Thanks to this, we are able to help clients not only with the immediate filling of positions, but also with longer-term workforce planning.
“Our placement in The Slovak Spectator rankings is a strong confirmation for us that our work has a real impact on the Slovak market. Behind Manuvia’s results are the everyday work of our teams, the trust of our clients and the ability to adapt to a rapidly changing market. Today, it is no longer enough just to find a candidate. Companies need a partner who understands regions, can work with data, can manage international recruitment and can support employees even after they start work. This is where we see the future of modern staffing services.”
Jana Mesárová, CEO Manuvia SK
Manuvia as an example of innovation in HR
Career Guide 2026 did not focus only on rankings. In its broader editorial content, Manuvia was also featured among companies that actively use modern technologies in recruitment. The Slovak Spectator mentions the use of artificial intelligence in semantic candidate search on social networks and in the internal database. This approach makes it possible to work not only with exact keywords, but also with the broader context of professions, skills and candidate experience. Among examples of innovation in HR, MIA – Manuvia Intelligent Assistant, our AI recruitment assistant, is also mentioned. It helps applicants search for jobs and provides them with useful information related to their application. This is another step towards making recruitment faster, more accessible and easier to understand for both candidates and clients.
Stability at a time when the labour market is changing
The Slovak labour market is going through a period of significant change. Companies are facing candidate shortages, regional differences, rising wage expectations and the need to work with people more effectively. At the same time, the importance of foreign workers, digitalization and quality integration of employees into teams is growing. We therefore see the results in Career Guide 2026 not only as a ranking placement. For us, they confirm that the combination of experience, regional presence, technology and a human approach has a solid place in the market. Manuvia will continue to develop services that help companies address labour shortages and bring fair and understandable job opportunities to candidates.
| How can labour shortages be addressed sustainably? The special Career Guide 2026 edition also included a full-page expert article by Jana Mesárová on how Slovak employers can address labour shortages. In a separate article, we will take a closer look at the combination of local recruitment, international recruitment and the Manuvia 360° Care service, which supports both clients and employees throughout the entire process – from candidate selection to adaptation within the team.
