EOR Cases

A recent scenario involved a client from America who at first considered our EoR service too expensive. However, once he hopped into a call with us ,we explained the direct employment costs in the Netherlands. He realised hiring staff himself would have been just as pricey – if not more so. In the end, he…

Even for companies already based in the Netherlands, hiring new team members can be a challenge. Some lack internal HR support. Others want to keep things flexible, especially when growing fast or hiring for short-term projects.  We take care of employment contracts, payroll, tax and all the admin.
