What makes good accommodation

  • Realistic commute time to work and access to transport
  • An equipped kitchen and laundry access – the most common source of friction
  • A clear split of utility costs agreed before arrival
  • A contact person who speaks a language the residents understand

The most common mistakes

Most problems arise when accommodation is arranged only after workers arrive, or when workers from different countries share a flat without agreed rules. Both are solved at the planning stage.

Our role

We organise and check accommodation before the team arrives, and a coordinator stays available throughout the assignment.

Frequently asked questions

We can arrange accommodation together with the employer – choosing locations close to the workplace and checking the standard before move-in.
Accommodation is prepared in parallel with recruitment, so it is ready before candidates arrive at the workplace.
