tech tribes & region hubs
Within Team Rockstars IT, we have divided our tech stack into tribes. Automated Testing, Cloud & DevOps, Frontend & Mobile, Java, Microsoft, Agile and Data. So an IT Rockstar joins a community where knowledge sharing is central.
In addition, we are all divided into regional hubs, so you can collaborate close to home, with area peers on projects. Result? Little travel time. So 100% focus on impact.
70/30 model
Working in Team Rockstars IT’s 70/30 model means no risk. You get a permanent contract right away and you always get the same fixed salary, even if you don’t have an assignment for a while.
Your fixed salary grows annually with your hourly rate. In addition to the fixed part, you will also earn a variable salary. This is the difference between the fixed revenue you get and your total 70% revenue.
Projects
IT Rockstars make an impact on projects at clients nationwide. This is what it’s all about. Our Rockstars tell their own stories about their projects with the clients listed below.
She’s an IT Rockstar
Team Rockstars IT believes diversity in the workplace is important because it ensures better performance and a better working atmosphere. Unfortunately, the balance between female and male developers is really skewed in the Netherlands. What can we do to make the tech world more attractive to women so that even more women can say, I’m an IT Rockstar!

We believe that doing business together works.
The working model we use is completely transparent and you will know at all times what hourly rate you are sitting at with one of our clients.
Here are three examples of IT Rockstars and their 70/30 model. We assume that all three of them work 43.5 weeks (1740 hours) for a client and 8 weeks not (5.5 weeks vacation, 1 week training, 1 week sick, 1 week no assignment).
Your 70% is your money. So you also decide how much you spend on a laptop, phone, training or car. So you can see that Suzanne has more salary left over because she chooses not to drive a leased car.
| Rik, 27 years | Suzanne, 35 years | Mo, 48 years | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly rate | €80 | €100 | €120 |
| Total sales based on 40 hours | €139.200 | €174.000 | €208.800 |
| Revenue x 70% | €97.440 | €121.800 | €146.160 |
| Mobility (lease costs, electricity, fuel, public transport) | €9.000 | €2.400 | €12.600 |
| Laptop, phone, certifications | €1.800 | €1.500 | €1.500 |
| Other (social charges, pension) | €12.260 | €14.781 | €21.346 |
| Fixed income (gross annual salary including vacation pay) | €54.319 | €77.647 | €80.887 |
| Variable income | €20.000 | €25.472 | €29.827 |
| Total gross annual income | €74.380 | €103.119 | €110.714 |
We believe that people who choose their own assignments are happier, so how do we do that?
Very simple. We’ll let you make a list. What kind of company would you like to work for? Where? With what techniques? What kind of culture? Based on your preferences, we will look for a suitable assignment. So you may also always say no to an assignment.
Talent Management
In our opinion, this does go hand-in-hand with a bit of guidance. Our Talent Managers make sure of that. Each Rockstar has its own Talent Manager. This talent manager is involved with you both professionally and personally. How are you in your skin and in your assignment? What is the situation at home? What is the state of our development goals? Are there any trainings or certifications that can contribute to this? Need a kick in the butt? Or just the occasional brake?
Your talent manager is involved in all of these things, making sure, among other things, that you properly monitor your balance and job happiness. On the other hand, the talent manager encourages your development.
All the ducks are swimming in the water
….Falderal de riere Falderal de rare. Everyone knows the children’s song, of course. As soon as someone starts the first sentence, on autopilot, completely helpless, you follow the song as a chorus with the well-known- Fal de ral de ral de ra- piece. When you hear it you are overcome by a wonderful warm feeling, safety, trust and recognition. It may remind you of a family member or friend who used to always be there for you.
That feeling of “belonging somewhere,” the warm bath, safety and trust, that describes the feeling everyone who works at Team Rockstars IT has.
With us, no one should feel like the odd duck! The people are central, and in this we distinguish ourselves apart from our technical expertise. Knowledge sharing is of paramount importance at Team Rockstars; we want to connect all available IT expertise. That’s why we work in tribes!

tech podcasts
A 5-part interview series focusing on the technology and experience of 5 IT Rockstars. Our company’s house coaches thought it would be a good idea to pass the interview baton to someone who has a lot of knowledge in technology. None other than our own Pascal Quist is hosting this show!
