A year ago, Xelvin was new in the country. Now Xelvin Portugal has a new office in Porto. The Dutch IT recruitment consultancy says its local team has grown to 16 engineers, with 10 more on the way.
How the model works
Xelvin’s engineers work remotely for clients in the Netherlands, so nobody has to move. It’s a bit like having your desk in Porto and your team on another map, and anyone comparing this setup with other remote tech jobs will notice the appeal: local life, international clients. For those who do want to move abroad, the company pays for Dutch language classes.
What it says about IT recruitment Portugal
Moving from arrival to a dedicated office within a year suggests the model is working. For an IT recruitment agency in Porto, the mix of local roots and Dutch clients is a useful position, since talent stays in Portugal while the work serves a different market. The announcement doesn’t share the types of roles, the technology stack or salary levels, so those details are worth checking with the company directly.
What it means for engineers in Porto
If you’re an engineer weighing options, a remote setup for Dutch clients is one path. Working at a distance can feel isolating after a while, though, and flexible coworking solutions can add a bit of structure without a long commute.
