How We Help Workers From Abroad Settle In The Netherlands

Moving to a new country for work is exciting, but it also comes with challenges. One of the biggest hurdles for temporary technical workers coming to the Netherlands is finding a decent place to live. The Dutch housing market is competitive, rents can be high, and demand for properties is high. For technical workers arriving from outside the country, especially those facing a language barrier and limited local knowledge, it can feel overwhelming. That’s where InAxtion’s specialist team can help.

Practical, cost-effective, and fair

Here at InAxtion, we’re an employment agency with a difference. We understand how stressful relocation can be, so we make sure your accommodation is the last thing you need to worry about. Most of our homes are house shares, where you have your own private bedroom plus a shared kitchen and bathroom.

An in-house facilities team based in Ridderkerk – InAxtion Facilitair – arranges fully prepared, SNF-certified housing for all employees who need it. They aim to ensure  your accommodation is close to projects you’ll be working on: to keep travel times as short as possible. And with over 320 private rooms rented throughout the Netherlands, our goal is simple: keeping you comfortable, safe, and ready to work!

Whether you’re starting your first assignment or moving to a new project, we find housing based on your location, preferences, and situation. In fact, our accommodation services are built around your real-world needs.

Don’t speak Dutch? Don’t worry! Because InAxtion handles all communication with landlords, you won’t have to struggle with unfamiliar rules or negotiate rent. We also make sure every home has regular inspections and maintenance. You’ll even receive a welcome pack when you arrive – containing essentials like soap and detergent – so you feel at home right away.

No hidden costs, no profit

We know how important financial stability is. That’s why our housing service runs on a non-profit basis. You only pay what we pay the landlord, saving you money compared with private rentals. Plus, if you need a car for your project, our consultants will help arrange that too.

Always someone to call

With over 20 years of experience, our team has pretty much seen it all – and they’re always on hand to help. Got a water leak? Trouble with a housemate? Not sure how to take out the trash in your new city? Our team is just a phone call away. Your dedicated InAxtion consultant is the first point of contact for any issues to do with your accommodation.
