Working with Xelvin

G
#1
Good day

I am an engineer from South Africa. I have been contacted by a company called Xelvin that does placements in the Netherlands. They seem to be what we would refer to as labour brokers in South Africa. Has anyone worked with them before and what was your experience like?

Thanks
Peter

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

I've never heard of Xelvin; that does not mean they are good, bad or indifferent, more likely because they operate in a different aspect of Industry than myself; I do know that there are other legitimate agencies like them.

A quick Google search doesn't turn up anything untoward, so my advice would be to use LinkedIn (they have an account there) to reach out to similar people to yourself and ask questions.聽 Be suspicious if at any stage they ask you for any money.

Hope this helps.
