My hiring process was complex at times, but they were always one step ahead and made sure everything went smoothly with government agencies, personal legal requirements, and so on. They were also very friendly and responsive! Cheers :)

If you work in IT and want to relocate to the Netherlands, I highly recommend applying at Zoostation. They helped me with all the steps involved in relocation, and guided me through the process of moving, finding a home, and getting settled in the Netherlands. Everything went quite smoothly for me and my wife. I’m grateful for all their help and happy to recommend them!

This is a nice place to work at. Really smooth relocation experience, every step is documented and the process is clear. They also help with finding an apartment (which is not an easy task nowadays in the Netherlands) and arranging all documents for residence permit, rulling, GP and health insurance. Special thanks to Martine who always replies to all Netherlands-related questions. Only good impression
Awesome company! Started off working for ZooStation since April, 2022 and I have been working at the client's headquarters. The whole relocation process, guidance once you arrive in the country, register to the different government entities, everything went smoothly. The people working at ZooStation are so nice and willing to help you with any concern or question you have. If you want to have an opportunity to get a job abroad, this would be a valuable option. Therefore, I have had a great experience with them so far.

ZooStation helped me make my dream of working abroad a reality. Their support made the immigration process easy for me. Remco and Martine are great; they understand when you have problems with your project and look for ways to help. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Thank you for all your support.

I have no more than good words about ZooStation. Remco and Martine are wonderful persons who do their best in order to help one with relocation . Unfortunately and due to personal issues I wasn't able to complete the process and they were very comprehensive about the situation. I do recommend this company to anyone looking for a job in The Netherlands and I expect to have the opportunity to work with them again in better circumstances.

The first time I decided to leave home country to pursue professional opportunity ZooStation was there to help me. But they didn't just help me. They make it possible, arranged everything, prepared and planned all the details. It was really so smooth transition, that I enjoyed it 100%. Team at ZooStation is perfect and so reliable. I really like working with them! Thank you for everything once again! :)
