Ukrainian skilled crews with an English-speaking project lead. Fixed price, start within 7 days.
Razom is a contractor, not a staffing agency. Our crews are employed by us, insured and VCA-certified. One point of contact, one delivered result — not loose hours.
Honest about freelancing (zzp)
We are often asked: “Can I come as a ZZP freelancer?” The answer depends on your status — and we say it plainly, because the client gets the fine and you are left without work.
Employment contract only
Without a work permit (TWV) you can only work as an employee. The employer only notifies UWV 2 working days before the start.
The client needs a TWV for every assignment
In construction, hospitality, agriculture and household services UWV does not issue them. The fine goes to the client, per person, along the whole chain.
We employ our craftspeople
UWV notification, collective-agreement pay, insurance, a crew lead on site. You are protected, the client avoids fines, and we are a contractor, not a staffing agency.

Where the money goes
No agency shows its margin. We do: what the client pays per hour of a craftsperson's work and where each euro goes. So the worker understands their payslip and the client knows what they pay for.
- The worker's rate follows the collective agreement, never below. Holiday pay 8%, pension, insurance.
- The margin covers the crew lead, finding clients, the warranty and the risk of idle time.

Public. If we break one, write to us — we answer within 1 working day.Questions we get asked
Not finding yours? Write to us — we answer within 1 working day.Are you a staffing agency?
No. Razom is a contractor. Our crews are employed by us, we run the work ourselves through the crew lead and answer for the result and the fixed price. We do not place people under someone else's supervision.
Can I come as a freelancer (zzp)?
If you have free access to the labour market (EU or permanent residence), yes, as a subcontractor — see the Partners page. If you are under temporary protection (RTB) without a TWV, no: only as an employee (as of 07.11.2026).
What happens after March 2028?
The government is planning a transition document (transitiedocument). Working as an employee is expected to remain possible, but the details have not been decided (as of 07.11.2026). We follow the news and will let you know.
Is it really free for workers?
Yes. A job seeker never pays: not for a form, an interview, training or a membership. The Waadi, art. 3, requires it.
Do I need a VCA, and can I take it in Ukrainian?
Construction sites usually require a VCA safety certificate. VCA Basis can be taken in Ukrainian and Russian (PBNA exam with spoken questions; as of 07.11.2026).
Do you deduct money for housing?
No. We do not tie work to housing and do not deduct anything for it from wages.
How fast can you start?
Site visit and quote within 48 hours. The start is roughly within 7 days after price and scope are agreed.
