About us

Beyond borders isn’t just where you’re headed — it’s how we work.

Solvès is a recruitment agency built for people crossing more than a job market. We connect international software and tech talent with companies in the Netherlands, and we stay involved long after the contract is signed — through the paperwork, the new city, the first weeks that actually decide whether a move feels like home.

Recruitment is the starting point. What happens after is where we actually show up.

Beyond borders

For the people we work with, “beyond borders” is never just geography. It’s a new language, a new system, a new rhythm of daily life — and usually, a new job on top of all of it. We built Solvès around the idea that recruitment shouldn’t stop at the signed contract. It’s where our work actually begins.

Who we are

We’re a Limburg-based agency specialized in placing international software, embedded systems, and tech talent with companies across the Netherlands. Most of the people we work with aren’t just changing employers — they’re changing countries. That means the questions we get aren’t only about job titles and salaries. They’re about visas, housing, municipalities, and how to build a life somewhere unfamiliar.

We answer those too.

How we work

Every relocation is different, so we don’t run it like a checklist. We take the time to actually understand who you are and what you need — not just what fits a vacancy. That means:

  • Genuine personal connection — we get to know you as a person before we talk about roles
  • Guidance beyond recruitment — support with visas, registration, housing, and settling in, not just the interview process
  • Software recruitment expertise — deep familiarity with the technical roles and companies we place people into
  • A respectful, human-centered approach — clear, honest communication, without the transactional feel of a typical agency

 

Why it matters

A relocation that goes wrong isn’t just inconvenient — it’s the difference between someone staying and thriving, or leaving within the year. We measure our work by the second outcome, not the first placement. That’s what “beyond borders” means to us: staying involved for the parts of the journey most agencies consider somebody else’s problem.
