Recognise this?
Too many parties, too little overview
Loose contracts, changing templates. Procurement wants one invoice. You want to know who handles what.
Hiring permanent for temporary work
A peak of a few months does not need an employment contract. It needs a senior professional on a defined assignment.
Digital Tribes exists for exactly this: match, arrange the route, start.

Team at work. Scale up or down per quarter. One point of contact for contract and admin.
We set up engagements carefully. Whether collaboration fits independent execution depends on the facts — they must match what we agree.
Two ways — you choose the route
Contractual hub
We select the specialist, arrange contract and admin, one invoice. The professional works independently — on own authority, with own tools and own planning — preferably on a Statement of Work.
Find my specialistDirect matching
We match and introduce. You contract with the specialist — useful when legal/finance want to keep their own templates.

FAQ
The questions that always come up
How does the IT specialist stay independent with Digital Tribes (DBA)?
The specialist works as an independent contractor under a services agreement. Digital Tribes is contract and billing partner — not the employer. The professional decides how work is done, with own tools and planning, within the agreed assignment. Where it fits we capture scope and outcomes in a Statement of Work. Whether an engagement fits depends on the facts in practice — they must match what we agree.
What does a senior freelance IT specialist cost via Digital Tribes?
Indicative: NL senior circa €90–120/hr all-in; nearshore senior circa €45–65/hr. Exact after intake.
What's the difference between contractual hub and direct matching?
Hub contracting: Digital Tribes is your contract and billing party (one invoice). Direct matching: we match, you contract with the specialist.
What if the specialist doesn't fit?
Say so. We find another specialist.
