Candidates we've placed, the roles they're now in, and what Octagon handled to get them there.
Placement stories
What Octagon handled at each stage of the placement journey.
A propulsion engineer with twelve years in industry moved from a national programme to ESTEC in Noordwijk. Octagon filed the 30% ruling, arranged IND Recognised Sponsor visa sponsorship, made the housing introductions, and walked the candidate through the BSN and DigiD steps to complete with the Dutch authorities. The engineer started on site within six weeks of the initial conversation.
A legal specialist with a background in international law joined OPCW in The Hague under a commercial employment contract with Octagon. Octagon handled the host-state agreement nuances, coordinated the security-clearance workflow with the hiring organisation, and provided a single named contact through month eighteen.
Over the course of a Swisscom relocation programme, Octagon placed six engineers from three countries into Netherlands-based roles. Each placement involved a Dutch employment contract and 30% ruling filings for qualifying hires. On the relocation side, Octagon made the housing and banking introductions and lined up school shortlists for candidates with families, and walked each engineer through the BSN and DigiD steps they completed with the Dutch authorities themselves.
What candidates ask about after reading a story
The candidate experience Octagon has defended since 1987: a real employment contract, a named contact for the full engagement, no third-party passthrough.
Country-by-country breakdown of what Octagon coordinates directly (housing and banking introductions, school shortlists) and the steps you complete with the Dutch authorities — BSN, DigiD — with a named Octagon contact walking you through them.
