A new chapter
Adaptel Portugal is now Next People.
New name, bigger ambitions. Our tax number, our licence and the people you already work with stay exactly the same.
What stays the same
- The same team, with years of experience in hospitality
- The same clients, who are staying with us
- Eight years of operations in Portugal
- Licence no. 846/17
What's changing
- Portuguese management, with more than 20 years' experience in the sector
- Training for people who join with no experience
- Executive recruitment and people assessment
- Logistics and distribution, from 2027
Where we work
Two sectors, the same expertise.
Operations with peaks, shifts and lots of people arriving at once, usually at short notice. We know how to make that work.
From January 2027
Logistics and distribution
The same way of working, applied to a different operation. Warehousing, order picking, loading and unloading, drivers.
Talk to us about logisticsWhat we do
Everything to do with people, in both sectors.
Temporary staffing
From a half-day shift to an assignment lasting several months, with a pool of people who already know your venue, a briefing before the first shift and a free replacement if someone lets you down.
Training
The Next People Academy prepares people who join with no experience, with modules tailored to each client's standards and first shifts worked alongside someone experienced.
Executive recruitment
Supervisors and senior managers, chosen by people who know the sector from the inside. Every finalist is assessed before the decision is made.
People assessment
Consultancy with JobMatch Talent: a profile of each finalist, a talent map of your current teams and who has the potential to become a team leader.

What we believe
Four things we won't compromise on.
- One well-chosen person is worth more than three hired in a hurry.
- Someone's potential counts for more than the CV they walk in with.
- People with no experience deserve to be prepared, not thrown onto the floor on their first day.
- Clients don't buy hours. They buy a shift that runs smoothly.
For job seekers
There's work for you this week.
