Lundi supports compliant employment in Moldova for specialist hires — particularly senior engineering and Romanian/Russian-language talent. Chişinău has a growing tech sector with significant inbound migration. For larger teams we typically recommend Romania or Poland.
Moldova has a developing tech sector concentrated in Chişinău, with substantial Romanian and Russian-language professional talent and significant outsourcing operations serving Western European clients. Moldovan leu (MDL) is the local currency. Employer social contributions are moderate. Strong fit for specialist engineering hires, Romanian or Russian-language operations, or cost-driven small teams. For larger SSC and engineering teams Lundi typically recommends Romania (similar language and culture, deeper EU-compliant infrastructure) or Poland.
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.

Employers must provide at least two months’ notice if they’re terminating an employee for financial reasons, or just a month’s notice, if the decision is due to unsatisfactory performance on the employee’s part. Employees who’re being let go for misconduct are not entitled to prior notice of termination.An employer must inform the union an employee belongs to before finalizing a decision to let an employee go.
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.
