Hire senior PHP developers through Probegin, a Dutch nearshore firm with a 400K+ European network. Modern PHP 8 engineers — Laravel, Symfony, APIs — vetted within days, starting within two weeks.
REST and GraphQL APIs on PHP 8 with strict types, proper auth and versioning that doesn't break clients.
Laravel and Symfony applications structured for the long haul — queues, events, clean domain boundaries.
Stepwise refactors of aging PHP estates: tests first, then structure, then framework — while features keep shipping.
Payment providers, ERPs and third-party APIs wired in with retry logic and observability.
PHP 8 is a modern, typed language with Europe's deepest talent pool — pragmatic economics for long-lived systems. Framework-first? Go directly to Laravel or Symfony.
Decade-old PHP estates refactored to PHP 8 discipline without a rewrite gamble.
REST/GraphQL layers powering apps, storefronts and partner integrations.
Senior PHP engineers embedded for years, not sprints — the classic Probegin placement.
The deepest classic bench in our network — from mid-level feature engineers to seniors who have modernized decade-old estates.
Building AI into this stack? Meet our Ingénieur en automatisation par IA profile.
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.
Two or three days a week for maintenance-grade or advisory work — you keep senior capability without paying for idle hours.
For outcome-scoped delivery, the specialist joins one of our modules de mise en œuvre — priced on the result, not the hours.
What moves the rate: seniority, ecosystem scarcity (an architect-level profile prices differently than a generalist), and how long the engagement runs. For context, Dutch IT detachering averages about €65–150 per hour (ITRC, 2026); the direct nearshore model usually undercuts comparable local seniority meaningfully, since no layered agencies take margin. Exact all-in rates come with your shortlist in the intro call.
A 30-minute intake: the role, the stack, the team it lands in, the timeline it has to hit.
Two to three vetted PHP developers from our 400K+ European network — within days.
C'est toi qui mènes les entretiens et qui prends la décision. Pas de pression, on n'a pas de banc à vider.
Nous nous chargeons des contrats et de l'intégration. Une période d'essai de 60 jours : c'est donc nous qui assumons le risque.
Your PHP developers work from our network across the Netherlands, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Poland and Bulgaria — all CET ±1, all fluent English (C1), all contracted and payrolled by Probegin so compliance stays our problem, not yours.
If your product runs on it, absolutely — PHP 8 is fast and strongly typed, and the European talent pool is deep, which means senior quality at sane rates and two-week starts.
Yes — legacy-to-modern is the most requested PHP engagement: characterization tests first, then incremental refactoring without a rewrite freeze.
Both are first-class on the bench. We match on your framework and version, not on what the developer happens to prefer.
Two to three vetted profiles within days, start within two weeks, 60-day trial period.
That's normal, not shameful. The playbook: characterization tests around the money paths first, then refactoring under coverage — risk goes down from week one.
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.
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.
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.
Tell us the role today, meet your matches this week, have them on the team in two.
