Making Moldova discoverable
HireMD exists for one reason: to connect the world with Moldova's exceptional IT talent. We're the trusted layer between buyers who need great engineers and the companies that employ them.
Why we built this
Moldova has quietly become one of Europe's most efficient software destinations - EU candidacy, a 7% IT tax regime, and senior engineers at a fraction of Western rates. Yet for years it was invisible: buyers couldn't find teams, and great companies couldn't be found.
HireMD closes that gap. We verify Moldovan IT companies, enrich their profiles, and make them searchable by exactly the dimensions buyers care about - services, tech stack, team size, and city.
No middlemen taking a cut of your contracts. Just a clear, trustworthy map of one of Europe's best-kept outsourcing secrets.
How it works
- Companies list and verify their profiles.
- Buyers search and filter the directory.
- Leads route directly - no recruiter in the middle.
- We optionally handle EOR & payroll for cross-border hires.
Built for buyers and companies at the same time
A directory only works if both sides get real value. Here is what each of them gets.
If you are a buyer
You get a searchable, filterable view of the entire verified Moldovan IT sector - 638+ companies enriched with services, tech stack, team size, city, and rate band. Quote requests route directly to the team you selected; the introduction is yours, the negotiation is yours, and no one in the middle is taking a cut. If the shortlist work is more than you want to do, our shortlist form emails a curated set of matches within one business day, for free. And if you would rather skip the shopping entirely, HireMD's own team can build the software or employ the engineers on your behalf under our EOR service.
If you are a Moldovan company
You get discovered by serious EU, UK, and US buyers on category and search pages that the buyers actually visit. The base verified listing is free; enhanced tiers (featured placement, richer profile modules, priority in the shortlist form) are subscription-based and clearly labelled - no pay-to-rank shuffle where the top of the search results is whoever paid the most this month. Lead requests come to you directly with the buyer's context attached; HireMD does not take a commission on the resulting engagement.
The proof, not the promise
Three concrete reasons the directory is different from the alternatives.
Manually verified profiles
Every listing is reviewed against the Moldova IT Park registry, the company's own website, and its public work record before publication. Shell subsidiaries and inactive listings are pruned during quarterly audit passes.
IT Park resident, not just a directory
HireMD is a Moldova IT Park resident software company itself - we ship custom development, EOR, and payroll under the 7% single-tax regime, so we know the practical mechanics we describe on the money pages.
Open data for the sector
Our aggregate statistics (technologies, services, cities, team sizes) are published under CC BY 4.0 at /moldova-it-statistics - free to cite in press, reports, and research so the Moldovan sector is easier to discuss from primary sources.
Principles that shape the product
Radical transparency
Real companies, real stacks, real rates - no pay-to-rank games. The directory is searchable and filterable, not gamed.
Quality over volume
We verify before we publish. A smaller, trustworthy directory beats a sprawling, unvetted one.
No commission, ever
We're a subscription marketplace, not a recruiter. The deal and the relationship stay entirely yours.
Built for both sides
Buyers find vetted teams fast; companies get discovered by serious EU and US clients. Win-win by design.

Frequently asked questions
What is HireMD, in one sentence?
HireMD is a verified directory of 638+ IT companies in Moldova, plus a Moldova IT Park resident software team that ships custom development, Employer-of-Record, and payroll for foreign clients - a single map of the Moldovan software market with the ability to also run the operation for you.
Who uses HireMD?
CTOs and founders in the EU, UK, and US who want to outsource software to Moldova and want a clear, verified map before committing to a partner. On the other side, Moldovan IT companies use HireMD to get discovered by serious buyers without the pay-to-rank distortions common to legacy B2B directories.
Does HireMD charge companies to be listed?
Basic verified listings are free. Enhanced tiers (featured placement, richer profile modules) are subscription-based and clearly labelled - no pay-to-rank shuffle where the top of the search results is whoever paid the most this month. Rankings on category pages are based on real verification and completeness signals, not paid placement.
Does HireMD take a commission on the deals it introduces?
No. We are not a recruitment agency or a marketplace with a middleman fee. When you submit a quote request to a listed company, the introduction is direct - the deal, the pricing, and the relationship stay entirely between you and the team you engaged. Our revenue comes from company subscriptions and our own software services, not a cut of your contract.
What software services does HireMD ship itself?
Custom web and mobile software (React / TypeScript / Node / Python / .NET), AI systems (LLM apps, AI agents, MCP servers, retrieval and evaluation), Employer-of-Record so foreign clients can hire Moldovan engineers without a local entity, and payroll for existing Moldovan teams. Full details on the /software-development-company-moldova, /eor-moldova, and /payroll-moldova pages.
How does HireMD verify listed companies?
Every profile is manually reviewed against the Moldova IT Park registry, the company's own website, its public work record, and - where possible - client references. We prune shell subsidiaries and inactive listings during routine audit passes. The directory is smaller than a scraped list, and more useful.
