What we offer
IT Recruitment & AI Staffing Services
Recruitment Process Outsourcing
End-to-end hiring operations, embedded with your team. We run the pipeline while you keep building.
Permanent placement
Search and selection for senior and specialist IT, Data and AI roles, on exclusivity or retainer, so the search gets real time.
Freelance & contract
Rapid access to vetted freelance specialists when you need velocity without long-term headcount.
Secondment services
We employ, you deploy. The compliant answer to EU misclassification rules, with full sourcing, relocation and onboarding.
Temp-to-perm
Trial the fit before you commit. Start on secondment, convert when the match is right.
International relocation
Visa sponsorship, housing assistance and local onboarding: the logistics of bringing global talent to your team.
Compliant contracting across the EU
Flexible capacity in every EU market, without the misclassification risk.
Every European market polices false self-employment in its own way. The Netherlands audits schijnzelfstandigheid, Germany tests for Scheinselbständigkeit, Spain chases falsos autónomos. Our answer is the same everywhere: secondment and employer-of-record delivery. You get the specialist you need, we or our licensed local partners carry the employment relationship. No compliance tightrope, in any member state.
We believe effective resource planning is a healthy balance of permanent and flexible capacity. We help you get there.
