Babbage once again a COA umbrella partner!

Babbage is once again the COA's umbrella partner for communications staffing and advice.

Babbage has been selected as the umbrella partner for the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA) following a European tender. With this award, Babbage will remain the COA's partner for the temporary hiring of communication professionals and communication consultancy for years to come.

Babbage has been working with the COA (Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers) for over 15 years on temporary positions and is familiar with the organization, its (communications) teams, dynamics, and challenges. Babbage provides communication professionals who can quickly add value – such as communication advisors, spokespersons, and content specialists. With this new framework agreement, Babbage remains committed to providing a wide range of communication profiles.

Carina Snaas, director of Babbage:

"We are proud to continue our long-standing partnership with the COA (Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers). The COA's work matters—and we're happy to contribute. Making a social impact is a key driver for many of our professionals.. Thanks to our experience and strong community of communications professionals, we can respond quickly and ensure continuity and quality.”

Smart matching through communities and guidance

What sets Babbage apart is the combination of a personal approach and a proactively developed COA community: a network of professionals with knowledge of the organization and the field. Candidates are personally interviewed, screened, and mentored. This approach allows Babbage to quickly respond to communication questions and capacity needs. Many of our professionals consciously choose assignments with social relevance. Babbage supports them with personal guidance, coaching, and training opportunities.
