Your single HR solution, from start to finish


Establishing a new entity abroad is meant to be a strategic move for global growth and new revenue streams. However, the complexity of foreign labour laws, tax frameworks, and banking requirements can quickly turn that opportunity into a costly liability. Administrative challenges create compounding delays, frustration, and financial exposure that can stall your international ambitions entirely.

Client testimonials

“When one of our sales representatives in the Netherlands was called back to the MOL Logistics headquarters abroad – we needed to find somebody to take over their accounts. We worked with other recruitment agencies to find candidates – but Octagon Professionals was the only one who expanded their search outside of the Netherlands until we found the perfect fit.”
