TISS Partners GmbH operates as an owner-managed consultancy focused on IT recruitment and nearshoring infrastructure, with two decades of operational experience establishing tech teams and locations in Romania. The firm serves technology companies and consultancies primarily from the DACH region, handling everything from placement of IT professionals to the structural work of setting up nearshore sites - legal entity selection, core team assembly, and the operational mechanics of cross-border expansion into European nearshoring markets.
The technical scope spans IT recruitment, service procurement, and the full lifecycle of nearshore site setup. TISS Partners positions itself around practical implementation rather than theoretical advisory: clients get roadmaps tied to execution, supported by a local network in Romania built over 20 years. For firms evaluating nearshoring strategies or needing qualified IT talent without the overhead of building recruitment and expansion infrastructure internally, the consultancy offers a boutique model - small team, owner-managed, oriented toward individual client responses rather than templated solutions.
The business model centers on three core services: placing highly qualified IT professionals, procuring IT services for client operations, and advising on the full nearshoring stack from legal structure through team build-out. Andrei Vlad leads the firm. Geographic focus is tight: Romania for nearshore delivery and setup, DACH region for clients, with support extending to broader European nearshoring markets where clients need expansion guidance.
