Example #1: Early-Stage Startup Hiring a Non-EU Developer

Startups don’t usually have the infrastructure to sponsor work permits or keep up with Dutch labour laws. For most Dutch work visas (including highly skilled migrant permits), the employer must be recognised as a sponsor by the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) and meet ongoing compliance, salary and reporting requirements. That’s a big ask when you’re still building your product. 

We, as the sponsor and an IND-certified business, can hire the developer via EoR and handle all legal employment obligations, seconding the developer to the tech startup. They now work full-time. Best of all, the startup didn’t have to worry about staying reputable, paying for HR or legal consultation, or spend numerous hours trying to wrap their head around Dutch labour law.
