FAQ: hiring through FreelanceTribes
- How do I hire freelance specialists without DBA risk?
- You share the assignment with FreelanceTribes. Digital Tribes screens, shortlists and contracts the specialist as an external party via the agency. Focus is on outcomes and autonomy — not disguised employment. That keeps Flex capacity possible under Wet DBA.
- Who is FreelanceTribes for?
- For decision makers at tech scale-ups and mid-market companies in the Netherlands (and Europe) who need temporary seniority: CEO, CTO, Tech Lead, Product Owner or Resource Manager. Not a self-serve marketplace for one-off gigs without compliance.
- How quickly can a specialist start?
- After the intro we typically deliver a shortlist of 2–3 vetted profiles within 48 hours. Start date depends on availability and the assignment. No minimum duration.
- What does booking an intro cost?
- The intake is free and no-obligation. You only pay when someone is engaged: a transparent margin on the hourly rate, no cure no pay. No platform fee to explore.
- Do you work across the Netherlands?
- Yes. FreelanceTribes operates from 's-Hertogenbosch and places specialists across the Netherlands and Europe — remote, hybrid or on-site, depending on the assignment.
- How is this different from hiring a contractor directly or using a marketplace?
- Direct contractor hire often stalls with legal under DBA enforcement. Open marketplaces lack a Dutch engagement structure. FreelanceTribes combines screening, matching and agency contracting so Flex capacity is not blocked by compliance.
