Confident appears to be a Lithuania-based recruitment or HR services firm. Its website navigation uses Lithuanian (sections: ‘Apie mus’ — About us; ‘Klientams’ — For clients; ‘Kandidatams’ — For candidates; ‘Kontaktai’ — Contacts) and the presence of separate pages for clients and candidates indicates it connects employers with jobseekers and provides staffing/HR-related services. The site shows a 2015 copyright, suggesting it has been active since at least that year. Because available information is minimal, this description is intentionally conservative and framed as an apparent/likely business focus.
