Staffing

Originally, Software Pool is a staffing agency. We have done that for many years, and we are experts at it. Software Pool deploys professionals temporarily with retrospective settlement based on actual costs. Our extensive customized package (Total Match System) allows us to make a good match quickly and effectively.

Software Pool requires its clients to provide a clear description of the contract and the work involved. You will not be introduced until the entire application is known and has been discussed with you. Nothing will be done with your details without your consent.

Software Pool constantly focuses on recruitment. Despite the extensive database we have built up, it is vital for us to be able to provide our clients with professionals with a range of skills and experience.

Types of contracts

Software Pool uses several types of contracts, both with clients and with professionals and suppliers.

Even though our contracts are checked in detail by our lawyers, a registered accountant and the Tax Office, Software Pool still feels that a contract should embody a form of collaboration rather than being imposed by one party on the other.

Procurement agreement for self-employed IT worker or IT worker with general partnership

If you choose this type of contract, you send us monthly invoices from your one-man business or general partnership for a gross amount based on your hourly rate. We ask you to submit a Declaration of Independent Contractor Status (Verklaring arbeidsrelatie, VAR) from the Tax Office so that we are certain we are not obliged to deduct wage tax and national security contributions.

Procurement agreement for IT workers who have a private limited company

You will send invoices from the private limited company of which you are the director and major shareholder. Since January 2003 we also ask you to submit a Declaration of Independent Contractor Status. If you qualify as an independent contractor, the Tax Office will indicate that the income is 'at the expense and risk of the company'.

Temporary employment contract

You will send invoices from the private limited company of which you are the director and major shareholder. Since January 2003 we also ask you to submit a Declaration of Independent Contractor Status. If you qualify as an independent contractor, the Tax Office will indicate that the income is 'at the expense and risk of the company'.

Contract handling

The variety of business partners/suppliers of temporary staff is a burden to many clients. This is why clients increasingly choose a party to deal with all the administrative and contractual handling clearly, quickly and to the satisfaction of all the parties involved, and of course to take away all risks in the area of the Wages and Salaries Tax and National Insurance Contributions (Liability of Subcontractors) Act (Wet Ketenaansprakelijkheid) and the Flexibility and Security Act (Flexwet).

If you secure a contract as an IT professional in which you cannot enter directly into a contract with your client, and this new client expects a professional broker to do this, don't hesitate to contact us.
