HumanR steps in as the formal employer, handling IND applications, payroll, and the 30% ruling, so your organisation can focus entirely on what matters: working with exceptional talent.
Specialists, not generalists, every case handled personally, every detail considered.
HumanR takes away all of the hassle surrounding these hires so we as a company can focus on what is important to us. As a reliable partner, it speaks for itself that HumanR became our primary point of contact for advice and for payrolling of people from various countries.
We had found the perfect candidate from India but could not hire him directly because we needed to be a recognised sponsor. HumanR offered us a really good deal to bridge the gap. Compared to competitors, HumanR was by far the cheapest and they really helped us think through the process.
Starting from rounds of interviews via videoconference until arrival and settlement in the Netherlands, HumanR played a crucial role. They provide a platform in the corporate world in the Netherlands that is second to none.
The first thing that struck me about HumanR was their straightforward communication, leaving nothing ambiguous. I was so impressed I dropped my US plans and joined HumanR in the Netherlands instead.
Through HumanR I was able to establish myself as a practitioner in the Netherlands. I am amazed by the quality of service, care and responsibility I received from them.
Working in a new country made me nervous, but HumanR understood our needs and made everything comfortable. They made our registration smooth and guided us throughout.
