DPD Polska is advertising 81 courier drivers roles
In short
In August 2026 DPD Polska was advertising 81 courier drivers roles in Poland. Eighty-one roles spread across sixty-seven cities is the opposite pattern: a national network topping up capacity everywhere at once rather than staffing one hub. A company advertising at this volume has approved the budget and stated the requirement in public, and has still not closed the gap on its own.

The spread matters more than the total here. One or two roles in each of sixty-seven cities is a network in continuous replacement, and a supplier who can cover several regions is worth more than one who covers a single city well.
What the pattern says
Eighty-one roles spread across sixty-seven cities is the opposite pattern: a national network topping up capacity everywhere at once rather than staffing one hub.
Three explanations fit, and they usually overlap. The company is expanding faster than local recruitment can supply. An existing supplier is under-delivering. Or turnover has climbed past what internal hiring absorbs.
Each points the same way: a named company with a stated, unfilled requirement.
Why Polish trades stay open
Polish employers compete for tradespeople against German and Dutch firms paying in a stronger currency. A domestic advert is often competing with a foreign wage rather than with the company down the road.
That is why roles here stay open longer than the raw counts suggest, and why an agency that can source from Ukraine, Belarus or Moldova and handle the paperwork solves a different problem from a local recruiter. Sell that difference rather than speed alone.
Who to approach
A national spread means both local branch managers and a central network function are involved, and they buy differently.
In Polish blue-collar hiring the operational owner moves faster than the HR function, because they carry the cost of the gap. HR is where the contract eventually lands, but it is rarely where the conversation should start.
How to open the conversation
Name the specific roles. The manager knows which positions are empty and does not need the problem described back to them.
Lead with supply: who you can provide, from where, with what qualifications, and how soon. In Poland the legal position also differs from Germany, since unsolicited commercial messages fall under UśUDE alongside GDPR, so the consent posture needs to be Polish rather than a translated German one.
What the data does not show
These are public advertisements on one date. Roles filled through agencies, referral or internal transfer never appear, and companies advertising only on their own site are under-counted.
Where a group advertises through several entities the figure is the organisation-wide total rather than one legal entity. Vacancy counts move week to week.
