Hiring nearshore, answered.

Within two weeks of the intro call as standard: vetted profiles within days, your interviews in week one, contracts and onboarding handled by us.

The first 60 days are the proof. If the match isn't right, the placement ends without long-term obligation — or we replace the profile from the network. The risk of a wrong hire stays with us.

Probegin. One Dutch counterparty, one invoice; employment, payroll and cross-border compliance are our responsibility — which also keeps you clear of Dutch freelance-classification (DBA) risk.

Our network spans the Netherlands, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Poland and Bulgaria — all CET ±1, all fluent English (C1). Standups feel local because they are.

That's the normal path — start with one, grow to five, keep one contract. Scaling down works the same way, with reasonable notice instead of penalties.

The roles the AI era invented: AI agent designers, AI engineers, customer engineers, implementation specialists, AI automation engineers and data engineers. Each has a dedicated page describing the work and how we vet for it.

On artifacts and exercises, not CVs: shipped work, live design or build tasks, and evaluation-writing. The battery is role-specific and documented — you see exactly what was tested.

A fixed-price, six-week engagement: two weeks of workflow triage producing a ranked ROI map, then the first agent live in production with evals and handover. The lowest-risk way to start with AI delivery.

Both. Staff augmentation for capacity, and outcome-scoped implementation pods when you want a result — with capability transfer, so your team can run what we build.

You do — code, prompts, evals and documentation transfer in full. No platform lock-in to us.

One all-in rate per specialist, quoted with the shortlist. Public context: Dutch IT detachering averages €65–150/hour; NL freelance AI consultants quote €800–1,500/day — direct nearshore placement lands below comparable local seniority. Details on the rates page.

Yes, and early — before any detailed discussion of your product, data or roadmap.

We replace from the network and manage the handover. Continuity risk is structurally ours — that's a core difference from hiring a freelancer directly.

Yes — teams at KPN, ING and Vattenfall have run on Probegin people for years, and the same model serves scale-ups from their first senior hire.

CET ±1 and English (C1) as standard; Dutch-speaking profiles available for roles that need it.
