The company could become market leader, as its growth was significantly above the current leader, local subsidiary of Swiss Adecco company. In Q1, Lugera&Makler registered a 60 percent increase in turnover, compared to 35 percent posted by Adecco.

“We did not set a target to outrun Adecco, and have not made plans for the coming three years, so far. Our performances depend a lot on the evolution of the market, so I would rather not make long-term estimates,” the company’s Managing Partner, Cristina Savuica told Business Standard.

This year, some 30 percent of the company’s turnover came from recruiting operations, 60 percent from personnel leasing, and the remaining 10 percent from payroll services.

Lugera&Makler has one office in Bucharest and a further six elsewhere in Romania. Its main competitors are Adecco, Manpower, Professional and AIMS Human Capital.
