As a business owner, you need to be able to rely on your IT systems. Outdated software application errors, or worse, systems that are easy prey for hackers, could spell disaster. A well-informed, expert IT team could make all the difference, but where do you find the right IT professionals?
We have the answer. Our global network includes IT professionals who have what it takes to strengthen your organisation. All of our IT experts are skilled in agile methods and are immediately deployable. What problem can we solve for you?
About us
We are a recruitment and secondment company that focuses on IT specialists. However, we would much rather you regard us as builders of bridges who connect top IT professionals from Eastern Europe and Asia with IT companies in the Netherlands.
Our strength lies in our international network, which was largely established by our founders. They also have a wealth of work experience in the Dutch IT sector, which means they understand your challenges, desires and requirements as an IT entrepreneur.
Our network, our knowledge of the Dutch business culture and our experience in international recruitment means that we can thoroughly prepare our international IT professionals for rapid integration into your IT team.
Recruitment and selection
There is a rapidly growing demand for IT specialists in the business sector, but competent IT professionals are thin on the ground. This means business owners are being forced to look abroad for IT professionals. The only problem is, how do you know which IT professionals have the right credentials and really suit your business needs?
Welcome to our area of expertise. We specialise in matching the right IT professional to your specific issues and challenges. This is how it works. You let us know what you are looking for, and we find you the right candidate. If we find a match (and we will!), we take care of all the arrangements if necessary, such as booking their travel, registering them with the municipality, finding accommodation and taking care of the various necessary applications and registrations (BSN, bank account, family doctor, and so on).
Secondment
If you would rather not hire an IT expert right away, then secondment is an excellent alternative. We bring the IT professional to the Netherlands under our employment, so that they are ready to start working for you (as a recognised referent, we can also handle the IND application). The advantage of doing things this way is that you get your experienced IT professional without having to enter into any contractual obligations.
Remote secondment
If you want to take on an IT professional and it's fine for them to work remotely, then our remote secondment option is the best solution for you. The IT specialist commits to working for your company from their home country with just as much passion and expertise as if they were in the office, and at a very attractive hourly rate (which is often less than half the usual rate). A great solution for everyone!

Our mission
We recruit agile-minded IT professionals capable of working in your IT team immediately.The current shortage of IT professionals is hindering the growth of many Dutch companies. We want to help facilitate growth by recruiting skilled IT professionals with an agile mindset from abroad, and connecting them with Dutch companies. Our IT professionals can be up and running in no time, so you can benefit as a business owner from their knowledge and expertise right away.
Our vision
We continue to grow and develop; both now and for future generations.In 2019, the Netherlands proudly occupied third place in the European ranking of 'most advanced digital economies'. In fact, 'we' were the fourth most competitive economy in the world. Of all the new digital technologies, we expect AI (artificial intelligence) to have the greatest impact on the economy, prosperity and society in the coming years.
Our vision statement says: 'Continuously developing ourselves and our people in the digital era for generations to come'. This intended growth is not just for us alone: we want everyone within our reach to flourish and develop in the new digital age. We want the Netherlands to become and remain a leader in the global digital transition – not just today, but also for the generations to follow.

Just one single intake, instant match
Our motto is: one single intake, instant match. That means you're guaranteed to get the IT specialist on board that you need.
Every successful placement process consists of four standard steps:
Step 1: Recruitment
Our very own IT experts recruit the most suitable candidates. They use their years of experience in the Dutch IT sector to help you (we understand what you need). They also mobilise the best candidates from among our global network of IT professionals.
Step 2: Selection
We carefully screen our candidates by means of a pre-intake interview, for example, in which we really challenge the candidate. We check on matters such as the candidate's qualities, work experience and motivation (we think it goes without saying that they should have the right papers). We also check their knowledge and understanding of the agile approach. The result: you will get our best candidate on board, guaranteed.
Step 3: Matching
If you're as positive about the IT specialist as we are and want to get them working as soon as possible, we're already a step ahead of you. Behind the scenes, we've already commenced the accommodation process, and we prepare all the necessary paperwork, such as the IND application, air tickets, a bank account number and relocation services. Your IT professional will be working at your location in just a few weeks.
If you're positive about the candidate but would rather have an IT professional working for you remotely, we can arrange remote secondment for you. We will discuss the terms and conditions together. After the work period is complete, we may still bring the IT professional to the Netherlands.Step 4: Getting started!
We thoroughly prepare your new IT professional for their new work environment by describing and discussing your organisational structure, company culture and the team in which they will be working. This means they will be well-prepared and ready to put their skills immediately to good use for your benefit.
