Pwrteams, founded in 2007 as Skelia and now part of Nortal, helps Western companies build and operate dedicated technology teams in Eastern Europe. Operating across Bulgaria, Poland, and Ukraine, the company manages the full employment lifecycle - from hiring and onboarding through day-to-day employee operations - allowing client organisations to extend their engineering capacity without establishing a local legal entity.
The company's model centres on dedicated, cross-border teams that are integrated into the client's own culture, tools, and workflows rather than working as a conventional outsourcing unit. Engagements carry no lock-ins, no exit fees, and no volume commitments. To date, Pwrteams has built over 300 dedicated teams and reports a staff retention rate of 95.7%.
Clients span sectors including media and fintech; News UK is among its named customers. The service suits companies seeking nearshore engineering talent at scale without the overhead of local entity setup or HR infrastructure.
