WorldEmp specializes in finding the right people for your company. Therefore, it is not possible to outsource assignments to us. We do not carry out assignments with large teams but instead focus on finding a colleague. As a result, there is hardly any turnover, and you are really adding a colleague to your team.

At WorldEmp, we not only look at a good CV or work experience. We also spend a lot of time finding candidates who can adapt well to the Dutch culture and have excellent English language skills. With a culture test, for example, we determine whether a candidate is able to connect with the Dutch culture and possesses problem-solving skills, a proactive attitude, and assertiveness. This is combined with training on 'Dealing with the Dutch,' where a candidate simulates scenarios that may occur in the workplace with actors.

This depends on the package of requirements and expectations of our clients. Typically, we complete a selection process within 2 to 8 weeks. It is also important to process the selection procedure quickly to maintain interest among the candidates.

India has long had a service culture for other countries, so they are experienced in remote work. In addition, due to its colonial history, English language proficiency is very high, ensuring good communication. However, we also find candidates of equal quality in other countries.

An extensive English test is one of the four pillars along which we recruit. See also the recruitment and selection page. We test this, among other things, by using native speakers during the interviews we conduct.

Absolutely, remote work and agile methodologies complement each other very well. Through our platform, you have daily contact with your colleague. They can participate in daily stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives via live video connection. Additionally, screen sharing is available through our system, allowing for collaboration. Remote collaboration is particularly facilitated with an agile approach, as it allows for more frequent communication and earlier evaluation of delivered work.

Some connection naturally arises from daily interaction. Your colleague is virtually present in the office through a screen, participating in all meetings. Additionally, we can assist by customizing the WorldEmp office according to your branding. From color schemes to furnishings, having your logo on coffee mugs, or organizing Friday afternoon drinks.

At WorldEmp, we operate on an all-inclusive pricing model. This means that for a fixed monthly fee, you receive:

• Recruitment of new personnel
• A fully equipped WorldEmp office, including all necessary hardware
• Access to our digital platform for collaboration
• A competitive salary for your new colleague, including:
  • Bonus system
  • Medical insurance for your new colleague and their family
  • Access to general and personalized training
  • Work-life balance

WorldEmp follows a rigorous recruitment and selection process and requires all new colleagues to sign a confidentiality agreement. There are no large teams where your work is outsourced; instead, we add a colleague to your team. You always know who is working on your project or product and can directly manage these individuals.

The time difference with the countries where WorldEmp employees work is usually limited. Our employees start later or earlier, depending on the country, compared to the start time in the Netherlands, and they also work more hours per week. This allows for a practical overlap of 70 to 80%. If a 100% overlap is required, which may be necessary initially due to training, it can be arranged.

We not only handle recruitment and provide housing for the employee, but we also support you and the employee after they start. We regularly check in to discuss progress and resolve any difficulties. We also work with you to develop the training program. We maintain regular contact even after placement and provide support from both the Netherlands and WorldEmp locations outside the Netherlands.

In principle, we assume that we will collaborate for a long period. Therefore, we offer contracts for an indefinite period. If necessary, for example, due to unforeseen circumstances, a contract can be terminated with three month's notice, at the end of the month.

Despite the careful selection process, it is possible to be disappointed with a WorldEmp facilitated employee after working together for a few weeks. We have agreed on a trial period with our employees, so if it doesn't work out, we will look for a replacement that better fits your expectations.
