world4europe was founded with a clear mission:
To connect people and opportunities — fairly, responsibly, and sustainably.
Behind World4Europe are three entrepreneurs who together bring over 100 years of international professional and leadership experience across various industries. They share a deep understanding of markets, people, and entrepreneurial challenges:
Xavier Plotitza
Originally from France, Xavier Plotitza has over 25 years of international experience as a managing director in retail and wholesale.
He understands the operational challenges companies face when filling vacant positions. His strength lies in delivering practical, solution-oriented recruiting strategies for complex staffing needs.
Josef Pirker
An Austrian national, Josef Pirker brings more than 35 years of leadership experience in wholesale as well as in national and international hospitality.
He knows firsthand the demands of these industries and how critical reliable, well-integrated staff are for long-term business success.
Roberto Oprandi
Roberto Oprandi is Swiss and the founder and CEO of oprandi & partner management AG.
With more than 40 years of experience in national and international executive search, he contributes deep expertise in the selection of qualified professionals and executives, along with a valuable global network. Today, he advises World4Europe with strategic foresight and human sensitivity.
Leadership at world4europe
Josef Pirker and Xavier Plotitza are the managing partners of World4Europe Personalvermittlung GmbH.
They are actively involved in daily operations and maintain close communication with employers, candidates, government agencies, and recruitment partners.
What We Stand For
We stand for a modern and responsible form of international recruitment:
Transparent, human-centered, legally compliant, and economically sound.
World4Europe is not a traditional staffing agency.
We are a specialized service provider for the sustainable recruitment of skilled professionals from third countries — especially from countries like India, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
What sets us apart is not only our many years of international experience,
but our end-to-end service:
We support employers from the moment staffing needs arise to the day a new employee starts — including all administrative, legal, and logistical tasks.
At the same time, we thoroughly prepare the candidates for their new life in Europe — linguistically, culturally, and professionally.
We know: those who decide to work in Europe leave a lot behind.
That’s why we ensure this move becomes a true opportunity — for both employer and employee.
