What they do

Structured manual QA that catches what developers can't see.

01

Test design & execution

Risk-based test plans, exploratory testing and regression suites that map to how users actually break software.

02

Release gatekeeping

Pre-release passes with clear go/no-go reporting — so releases stop being a gamble.

03

Bug advocacy

Reproducible, prioritized, developer-ready bug reports that get fixed instead of debated.

04

Process building

Lightweight QA processes for teams that grew past 'the developers test it themselves'.

Use cases

What teams hire QA engineers for.

Manual QA finds what matters; test automation locks it in. Most teams need both, sequenced in that order — we staff them separately so you pay the right rate for each.

01

First QA hire

Bringing process to teams where developers still test their own work.

02

Release-cycle stabilization

Regression discipline for products that break in familiar places.

03

Compliance-driven testing

Documented test evidence for audits and enterprise customers.

Stack & seniority

What's on the bench.

Mid to senior QA specialists — including the first-QA-hire profile that sets up process, not just executes it.

Rates & engagement

Three ways to engage QA engineers.

FT

Dedicated full-time

One specialist, embedded in your team, your standups and your tools — the classic direct model. Most placements run this way for a year or longer.

PT

Part-time fraction

Two or three days a week for maintenance-grade or advisory work — you keep senior capability without paying for idle hours.

POD

Inside a pod

For outcome-scoped delivery, the specialist joins one of our implementation pods — priced on the result, not the hours.

QA rates differ sharply between manual testing and automation architecture — pay for the level you need, not a blended rate. Dutch IT detachering averages roughly €65–150 per hour (ITRC, 2026); direct nearshore QA placements usually sit well inside that band. Exact rates per profile come with the shortlist.

Manual QA or test automation — which do we need?

Usually both, sequenced: manual QA stabilizes quality and finds what matters; automation then locks it in. We staff each separately so you don't pay automation rates for exploratory work.

Can a QA engineer set up our process from scratch?

Yes — the first-QA-hire engagement (test strategy, tooling, release gates) is one of the most common placements.

Do they test mobile as well as web?

Yes — web, mobile and API testing are standard; device-matrix testing for Android is a specialty of the bench.

How fast can a QA engineer start?

Profiles within days, start within two weeks, 60-day trial period.

How fast does a QA engineer add value?

Week one: a risk map of your product and a bug triage that separates noise from danger. The first regression checklist usually lands within the first sprint.

How does the 60-day trial period work?

The first 60 days are the proof: if the match isn't right, you say so and the placement ends without long-term obligation — or we replace the profile from the network. Most trials convert; the ones that don't cost you a conversation, not a contract.

Can we scale from one developer to a team?

Yes — that's the normal growth path. Many clients start with a single specialist and expand to two or five as the roadmap demands, keeping one contract and one point of contact at Probegin. Scaling down is equally simple, with reasonable notice instead of penalty clauses.

Who handles contracts, payroll and compliance?

Probegin does. You get one Dutch counterparty and one invoice; employment, payroll and cross-border compliance for the specialist are our responsibility. That structure also keeps you clear of freelance-classification risk under Dutch rules.
