Bonapolia is a family-owned IT staffing company based in Lisbon, founded in 2023. It supplies senior engineers to product companies and IT consultancies through two models: staff augmentation, in which individual engineers join an existing client team, and dedicated teams assembled around a product or technical workstream. Under the staff augmentation model, Bonapolia handles sourcing, screening, contracts, administration and replacements, while clients retain control of priorities and technical decisions.
Since 2023 the company has placed more than 50 senior engineers for around ten clients across six countries. Its work spans Europe and the United States. Bonapolia is run by a five-person team, and every shortlist is reviewed internally before it reaches a client; the firm states that it deliberately avoids bench-based staffing logic, drawing instead on operating discipline taken from large outstaffing programmes.
The business traces its origins to an idea formed in 2018 and operated within a partnership from 2019 before incorporating as an independent company in 2023. It was founded by Bogdan Furundzhi, who has more than two decades of experience in recruitment and workforce operations. Further information is available at https://bonapolia.com/.
