Poland Q4 2026: 32% of companies plan to hire, construction and eastern regions lead
The latest ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey shows 32% of Polish employers plan net hiring in Q4 2026, with construction and real estate, plus eastern Poland, showing strongest hiring appetite. More than half plan no staffing changes.
Poland's jobs outlook for the final quarter of 2026 shows moderate hiring intent, according to the ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey conducted in July among 525 Polish employers. The survey, part of a global study across 42 markets, reveals that roughly one in three companies (32%) expect to add staff, while 51% plan no staffing changes.
Regional and Sectoral Patterns
- Strongest hiring: Construction, real estate, and eastern Poland regions lead
- Stable hiring: 32% net employment outlook across surveyed companies
- No change: 51% of employers expect flat staffing levels
The findings reflect Poland's persistent tight labour market, where foreign workers remain essential to filling roles across multiple sectors. For expats and foreign job-seekers, this suggests continued demand in construction, real estate development, and businesses expanding into eastern Poland's growing economic zones.
If you're looking to relocate to Poland or switch employers, Q4 2026 remains a good hiring season—though competition for roles in non-growth regions may be stiffer. Construction and real estate offer the most visible opportunities.
