About us

Who we are

Piaxo started in Romania, well-known for its strong automotive industry with many major OEMs and TIER 1s.

We’re based in Cluj, Romania’s second-largest city, often called the ‘Silicon Valley’ of Romania because of two technical universities and high density of IT companies.

Why we do this

We fill a vital niche in the Global market by focusing on real consultancy over people placement.

We’re dedicated to nurturing client-focused projects, driving forward with a clear vision that prioritizes the project’s needs and goals over staffing solutions.
