Finding Work Abroad is Easy with Robin

What can you expect from Robin?

Robin can help you find a job and accommodation abroad. We are working with over 35 agencies to get you the best job offers possible.
We will also answer all the questions you might have about finding a job abroad.
Upon your request, Robin can connect you with people who went abroad before you, and they can provide you with more details about their experience.
We offer much more than just a job – our experts will guide you through the entire process.

In which countries does Robin offer work opportunities?

Robin has job offers in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.
We are fully familiar with the employment laws in these three countries.
Each year, Robin helps over 2,000 people move and set up in any of these three countries.

Is getting a job through Robin free?

Yes, all of our job-seeking services are free.
We will help you with the paperwork you need to start working abroad.
Although our services are free, we don’t cover your trip expenses.

What can I expect from accommodation?

The agency will provide your accommodation abroad at a significantly lower price than the market average.
The accommodation expenses will be deducted from your salary (around €100/week).
Usually, agencies in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium provide double rooms for people to stay in, but you may have a room for yourself.
You don’t have to stay in the provided accommodation, but it is hard to find affordable housing in the Netherlands, Belgium, or Germany.

How fast can I start working abroad?

The process depends on you, but the faster, the better.
There are more jobs available with short notice, and if you can start immediately, you can get a job and start working in a few days.
Processing the paperwork takes about 15 minutes, but we will help you collect everything you need.
If you want to travel and work abroad with your partner, there are such opportunities, but they are limited.
Although people who don’t speak English are welcome to apply, there are more open positions for those who speak it well, and they are more likely to get a job.

Prepare for Working Abroad with Robin

At Robin, we’re all about helping you find the perfect job abroad. We understand that taking the step to work in a new country is big but exciting!

Whether you’re searching for work abroad opportunities or just looking into what working abroad involves, Robin is here to help every step of the way. Our goal is to make your relocation as smooth as possible, ensuring you find a position that suits your needs in the Netherlands, Germany, or Belgium. Let’s explore some other questions you might have:

1. What kind of employment agencies does Robin work with?

Robin partners up only with agencies with over ten years of experience in the international recruitment market. These agencies have a proven track record in helping our candidates find jobs and accommodation abroad and are all members of the recruitment branch organisations of ABU. Therefore, we know that they follow a standard protocol and offer fair conditions for payment of salaries and the provided accommodation.

2. How does Robin finance its services?

Wondering how we manage to offer our assistance without any cost to you? It’s simple: employment agencies in the Netherlands and other countries compensate us for connecting them with talented individuals like you. This model allows us to offer our expertise and services free of charge to job seekers, making your dream to work abroad financially feasible.

3. What sets Robin apart from other recruitment agencies?

Unlike typical agencies, Robin prioritises creating an optimal experience for those starting their work abroad journey. We personally vet accommodations and workplaces abroad to ensure they meet our high standards, aiming to provide more than just a job for foreign workers. We are committed to maintaining communication with you even after you start your job, ensuring the relocation and integration into the new workplace and culture go smoothly. While you’re still in the process of finding a job abroad, we can connect you with candidates who got jobs in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium with Robin to hear their experience firsthand.

4. What inspired the name Robin?

Inspired by legendary action heroes, Robin symbolises support and trust for job seekers looking to work abroad. Our core values—transparency, honesty, and a relentless drive to improve—reflect our dedication to not just providing work abroad jobs but also being a guiding light throughout your journey.

5. Can Robin assist me if I already have accommodation abroad?

While our primary focus is to provide work abroad jobs with accommodation, we understand some candidates might already have their living arrangements sorted. In such cases, we encourage you to discuss your specific situation with our job experts, as job opportunities can vary based on location and commute options.

6. Does Robin offer direct jobs with companies?

Robin provides most jobs at international employment agencies abroad. This way, we make sure a job with accommodation for you is taken care of. In exceptional situations, we can also offer work directly at a company. In that case, you should have housing organised by yourself. Both employment agencies and companies have to apply the same minimum salary conditions.

7. How much money can I expect to earn working abroad?

Expect that your gross salary will be slightly more than the country’s national minimum wage where you will work. You should deduct the accommodation costs and insurance to know how much your net salary will be from your paycheck.

8. How is transportation to work organised?

The agency responsible for your employment will organise your daily commute. Whether it’s a short distance requiring a bike or a longer journey necessitating a car or minibus, your travel to and from work will be arranged for your convenience.

9. Can I get a job abroad if I don’t have an EU passport?

Currently, our services are tailored and available only to EU passport holders for regulatory and logistical reasons. However, we’re continuously looking for ways to expand our support in finding a job abroad to a wider pool of candidates, so stay tuned for future updates.

10. Are there any short-term work abroad opportunities suitable for students?

Absolutely! Robin offers a variety of summer and short-term job opportunities ideal for students or those interested in experiencing life and working in a new country for a few months. These positions, available in sectors such as agriculture and logistics, provide valuable international experience and cultural exposure.”
