Can't find the skilled workers you need?We look across the border.

Can't find the skilled workers you need in Limburg? Then SOMA Internationals looks abroad and brings them to the Netherlands.

What we help with.From your request to the first working day.

Recruitment abroad

We look for skilled technical workers who fit your work.

Housing, transport and paperwork

We help with these. Before they start, Tom Meyer discusses with you what SOMA Internationals arranges and what stays with you.

Language and certificates

Where needed through SOMA Academy: a language course and work towards Dutch certificates, such as VCA.

Working for you

Usually through temporary employment with SOMA Works or secondment with SOMA Professionals. Tom will discuss with you which route fits.

What does it ask of you?A good start on the shop floor.

On site, you give instructions and direction and provide a safe workplace, as you do for everyone who works for you. As the hirer, you also check the worker's identity at the start. We help you get the right documents; Tom Meyer discusses with you beforehand what stays with you. A good first week, with explanations in a language the worker understands, makes a real difference for someone who has just arrived in the Netherlands.

Frequently asked questions.For employers.

Do the workers speak Dutch?

Not always from day one. Through SOMA Academy they can take Dutch lessons and work towards Dutch certificates, such as VCA.

Are their diplomas valid in the Netherlands?

Not always. Then they can work towards the Dutch certificates needed on site through SOMA Academy.

How long does it take?

That depends on the trade and on what needs to be arranged. Tom will discuss with you what is realistic.
