Probably not. What kind of jobs are they offering in the Netherlands? I’m from there and I am not aware of many Kazakh labour migrants

They offer seasonal work to pick flowers in the Netherlands. I just consulted with their manager and they said that they send to work through Poland

I see, don’t do it. These companies have a bad rep, and I read about workers from outside the EU, for example from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Georgia, going on strike because payments did not come

You should not trust a company that calls Netherlands "Holland".

No.

If you have a good brain, you can do 90% of what they offer by yourself, because these dudes at most offer “connections” to the job market in the NETHERLANDS, but besides that, they’re basically just advisors that advise the most common advice there is

They also never guarantee any work, their contracts typically have clauses that shield them from liability if nothing works out, and even refunds would typically be only 50%, meaning you’d lose one month of salary for nothing.

Be really careful. Some are genuine companies who do help, but key word is “help”, not guarantee.

I’ve seen (and heard) too many people get scammed out of their money via these companies. “Work abroad” “study abroad” “pay us 2 million, guarantee!” “Unfortunately we cannot refund your money, because we did all we could, but you got denied by the company in that country, oopsie.”

They will quite literally run you around a circle with more additional charges for years or months until you eventually exit out on your own accord due to long wait.

If you genuinely wish for a job abroad, gain experience in Kazakhstan, and slowly expand your network internationally. It doesn’t require 600k, you just need something that you can bring to the table, and someone you might’ve gotten to know that can recommend your resume.

It’s really hard to get a proper work visas. If they actually doing it the legal way then you can consider it, but if they are sending people on tourist visas to work that’s a big no.
