Job postings sit open, sprints fall behind and your competitor ships features. Digital Tribes has an active pool of 1,000+ pre-vetted professionals. No ad campaigns. No months of interviewing. First shortlist on average within 5 business days, team live within 14 days.
Fines are real since January 2025. You want flex capacity, legal says no, and a permanent hire for temporary work is financially wasteful. Digital Tribes manages the full DBA setup: Statement of Work, contractor independence and contract structure — via mediation or intermediary. The Rent Company has used this model for 3+ years. Zero DBA issues.
Peaks and valleys in your roadmap are normal. Bringing people on payroll for a six-month sprint is overkill. With Digital Tribes you scale your team up and down as needed — per quarter, no long-term obligations. The Team as a Service model includes built-in backup for drop-outs.
Since January 2025 enforcement of the Dutch DBA regime is active for assessing employment relationships. False self-employment can trigger payroll levies and penalties for hirers.
Digital Tribes sets up compliant arrangements with a Statement of Work and independence safeguards — clear outcomes and timelines rather than hierarchical day-to-day control, and clarity on resources and entrepreneurship risk.
The Rent Company has worked with Digital Tribes for over 3 years on this model — zero DBA issues. Nearshore developers cost roughly €45 to €65 per hour all-in under the same quality bar as NL placements.
Digital Tribes replies within 16 hours on every request and typically presents a shortlist of 2–3 pre-vetted candidates within five business days; teams go live within 14 days on average after the first intake.
Both models use the same 1,000+ pre-vetted professionals. Contract structure and invoicing differ — we align in intake with what suits your legal and finance.
Digital Tribes matches and introduces. You contract directly with the specialist. Most chosen by scale-ups with their own legal/finance experience on contractor setups.
Digital Tribes as contractual hub. One invoicing party toward your organisation. Less admin and tighter assurance. Popular with growing SMEs that want one counterparty.
CEOs choose Digital Tribes for three reasons: speed, DBA compliance and cost transparency. On average a team is live within 14 days after the first intake. Digital Tribes handles the entire DBA setup — Statement of Work, contractor independence safeguards, contract structure — so the CEO does not take legal exposure. Pricing is transparent: nearshore senior developers €45–65/h all-in, NL-based senior developers €90–120/h. Digital Tribes has helped 100+ companies, including Achmea, Friesland Campina, TransIP and Campercontact.
Digital Tribes sets up every assignment with a clear Statement of Work (deliverables and timelines, no day-to-day management), safeguards for independence (entrepreneurial risk, own resources) and a contract structure suited to mediation or intermediary. The client does not need to arrange DBA themselves. The Rent Company has used this model for 3+ years — without a single DBA issue.
Digital Tribes uses transparent all-in rates: nearshore senior developers typically €45–65 per hour; NL-based senior developers typically €90–120 per hour. There are no hidden brokerage fees. The exact rate depends on seniority, stack and scope. Nearshore averages a 40% cost saving versus permanent NL staff.
Digital Tribes replies within 16 hours of a request. On average we present a shortlist of 2–3 pre-vetted candidates within 5 business days. A full team is typically operational within 14 days after intake. The Rent Company went from 0 to 4 developers in 3 weeks — where traditional hiring would take 4–6 months.
With mediation Digital Tribes matches and introduces; the client contracts directly with the specialist. Easiest route for scale-ups with legal/finance accustomed to freelance setups. With intermediary Digital Tribes is the contractual hub: one invoicing counterparty, predictable admin, fewer side agreements. Both routes are DBA-proof and use the same pool of 1,000+ pre-vetted professionals.
Digital Tribes focuses on tech scale-ups and SMEs with platforms, web apps or mobile apps — typically organisations up to about 450 employees. Clients include Achmea, Friesland Campina, TransIP, Tinka, Valtech and Campercontact. For larger engagements Digital Tribes offers Team as a Service with managed teams, backups and replacements.
Digital Tribes arranges replacement at no extra charge if there is no fit — no arguing, no hidden fees. Applies to technical fit and collaboration alike. Digital Tribes stands behind every placement.
