For Product Owners who put delivery first
Job postings sit open, sprints fall behind, and your roadmap slips. Digital Tribes delivers pre-vetted senior developers who understand how Agile product teams work. NL or nearshore. No minimum duration. Backup on dropout included. Near/offshore typically ~14 days to go-live after intake; Netherlands-based often faster — Team as a Service keeps sprint continuity with replacements included and removes the flex-hiring bottleneck because DBA-compliance is arranged up front.
✓ No minimum duration · ✓ DBA handled · ✓ Backup on dropout included
Freelance Mediation + scale option
Freelance Mediation is our core: individual senior specialists, DBA-compliant, often live within 1–2 weeks. Near & offshoring is a separate scale option for dedicated teams. In intake we determine what fits.
Dutch senior specialists — individual placements, DBA-compliant via matching or hub.
Dedicated near- and offshore teams — scalable, managed, separate from NL mediation.
Job postings sit open, sprints fall behind, and your competitor ships. Digital Tribes has an active pool of 1,000+ pre-vetted professionals. No ad campaigns. No months of interviews. First shortlist on average within 5 business days; near/offshore ~14 days to go-live on average, Netherlands-based often faster.
Fines are real since January 2025. Legal says no, management hesitates. But hiring permanent staff for temporary roadmap peaks is inefficient. Digital Tribes handles DBA-compliance end to end — the familiar legal blocker goes away: Statement of Work, independence safeguards and contract rails are covered. You configure nothing.
Peaks are normal — feature pushes need elastic capacity. Putting people on payroll for a three-month burst is risky. There is no minimum duration: you hire for the timeframe the roadmap demands, then ramp down cleanly.
Digital Tribes responds within 16 hours of a request. On average the agency presents a shortlist of 2–3 pre-vetted candidates within 5 business days. For near- and offshore, a developer is typically live in the team within ~14 days of intake on average; Netherlands-based is often faster (sometimes the next business day). The Rent Company scaled from 0 to 4 developers in 3 weeks — with DBA compliance maintained and no hiring stress.
Under Digital Tribes' Team as a Service model, backup and replacement are standard. If a developer leaves or stops, Digital Tribes supplies a suitable successor and supports knowledge handover. The Product Owner does not need to launch a new hiring round.
Yes. Digital Tribes takes care of the full DBA setup: Statement of Work, independence safeguards and contract structure. The Product Owner does nothing on that side. That removes the common 'legal says no' blocker — the arrangement is DBA-proof from day one.
No. There is no rigid minimum duration. Short reinforcement (one sprint, one feature, one quarter) works as well as long-term collaboration. Duration follows your roadmap and product team needs.
Yes. Digital Tribes screens not only technical skills but Agile working experience: sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, user stories and acceptance criteria. Everyone in the pool has at least five years of experience and is used to product-led Scrum teams.
Transparent rates: senior nearshore €45–65/h all-in, NL-based senior €90–120/h. No hidden fees. Nearshore averages about 40% cost saving versus permanent NL staff. Exact rate depends on seniority, stack and scope.
30-minute intake. No lengthy form. Talk through your sprint situation and what you need. Average first candidates within 5 business days.
