Ter vergelijking

For comparison

If the additional costs (employer premiums/taxes, lease car, recruitment, HR, administration, office, etc.) are added to this, the total costs for this mid level Software Developer quickly amount to approximately €8,000, or €46 per hour.
  • Assuming you are unsuccessful in securing employment in the very tight labour market, you may consider hiring a mid-level candidate through a secondment agency. The rate for this approach is approximately €80 per hour.
  • Additionally, the rates for Freelancers are at a similar level, or more significant, in the current market.
