Why use Hightekers for your IT recruitment?

At a time when recruiting IT profiles is increasingly difficult, innovative solutions such as Hightekers exist to simplify contracting and help with a 360-degree management of freelancers. Aside from saving a considerable amount of time, such services also make it possible to reduce your recruitment costs, while offering consultants the desired salary and an innovative status of employee-partner.

Here’s how:

Reduced contracting costs (and a better margin)

Our B2B model allows recruiters to increase their margin and/or to be more competitive with their client, while offering the IT consultant the desired salary.

How is this reduction in contracting costs possible?

We are in a position to hire your candidates on permanent contracts with the salary they want, while lowering our commissions when compared to other subcontractors and wage portage companies.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Hightekers offers an effective recruitment solution allowing a real financial advantage to each party:

  • The consultant is recruited at the desired salary, while enjoying the benefits of a permanent contract.

  • The recruitment firm increases its margins, while being more competitive with its end customer.

  • The company welcomes a happy and fulfilled IT consultant (and therefore more profitability).

A local contracting solution

Once the IT consultant has been headhunted, then comes the tedious, and time-consuming, process of contracting the freelancer: preparing the local employment contract, managing salaries, assisting with a work visa or a residence permit, establishing the service contract with the client, managing professional expenses, following-up on the missions and all the various legal formalities. Those are some of the elements that Hightekers can take care of in order to simplify the recruitment and administrative management of your consultants.

Hightekers frees you from this administrative management during the entire cycle of the freelance mission. Thanks to our dedicated platform, we manage all the services with the consultant directly: from the contracting to salary payments, which include health insurance, professional expenses advancement, or even providing a company car (optional), and many other services.

Your consultant benefits from a positive corporate culture and perks, while the contracting part is simplified as much as possible for you.

Recruiting in Europe has never been so easy

This simplified contracting is possible in many European countries due to the presence of Hightekers in 10 countries on the continent. This coverage allows recruiters to offer local employment contracts to its freelancers in each of these 10 countries. Hightekers takes care of the employment contract, pay-roll and the required contributions, in compliance with the standards and regulations of each country.

Thus, you can recruit indifferently in the European countries below, and Hightekers will allow your (future) consultants to join your team without you having to initiate any administrative procedures. This service makes it possible to eliminate the boundaries between consultants and companies, while benefiting from a 100% “compliant” framework, in accordance with local legislations.

In addition, Hightekers supports consultants in their international mobility. Consultants are supported to ensure compliance with local regulations and declarations.

For recruiters and digital services companies, it is easier than as ever to recruit IT freelancers in Europe. And as for freelancers, professional mobility abroad has never been more straightforward.

The best IT profiles thanks to a good referral program

Optimized recruitment costs and simplified onboarding are the two most appreciated solutions when it comes to recruiting the best profiles. At Hightekers, IT consultants are often co-opted: that is to say, they can join the network via referral. A quality and reliable guarantee, as this helps provide recruiters and companies with the expert profiles they need, along with having someone dependable from day one.

Hightekers is a premium network of IT consultants whose vocation is to grow over the years thanks to its consultants’ referrals, gradually shaping Europe as a solid reference in computer engineering. Recruiters, Digital Service companies and others are unanimous: the consultants are qualified and efficient, while remaining fully focused on their mission thanks to Hightekers managing their activity.

Direct access to more than 1,300 IT consultants in Europe

To target those ideal profiles, we also offer our partners the opportunity to target our ultra-qualified freelancers. Our goal is to build a powerful network of IT consultants in order to meet the ever-increasing demand. From Back-End or Full-Stack developers to Data Engineers, Salesforce Consultants or Business Analysts, Web Development & Cybersecurity, the Hightekers community covers all areas of expertise and is a real pool of IT business skills. In addition, our consultants are constantly on the lookout for new opportunities and assignments.

As a partner, you have the possibility to post your assignments on our internal Hightekers Job Board, where our freelancers can apply directly. Unlike LinkedIn or many traditional job boards, your ad is not just a grain of sand on a beach; instead, it allows you to directly target the best candidates currently available for your offer(s). Sourcing then becomes safer, simpler and faster, targeting only qualified IT profiles and engineers referred into our network.

The community spirit of our network also allows you to relay your offers directly between consultants, allowing you to better circulate your mission within an IT network that is constantly growing.

Fulfilled and successful IT freelancers

FORGET ABOUT ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS: HAVE MORE TIME TO FOCUS ON YOUR MISSIONS AND DEVELOP YOUR CLIENT PORTFOLIO

Our consultants can now forget about taking care of administration, setting up and managing their business, their accounts, or signing up to health insurance or provident fund: they are employed on permanent contracts by Hightekers. Therefore, they approach their missions with a 100% free spirit.

Farewell to the mental load of the entrepreneur and the administrative phobia.

MORE TIME FOR YOU OR FOR YOUR CLIENTS

An IT freelancer must generally set aside a few days a month to take care of accounting, administration, invoices, insurance and reminders, as well as canvassing for future missions. With Hightekers, they benefit from a local contract, ensuring they receive their salary at the end of the month. Hightekers takes care of everything else for them. They are then able to dedicate additional time to your projects or customers, especially when the deadlines for rendering are shorter or urgent.

MORE FOCUS ON THEIR MISSION, FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF WORK

Having a free spirit means being able to give 100% to your projects, and therefore provide better quality work, compared to an IT consultant who needs to manage all his administrative tasks. Especially when the consultant is employed abroad with unknown rules.
