Solid staffing agency in the Southern Netherlands with high margins and a loyal client base

Company history/background

The company is a regional intermediary in temporary staffing and recruitment & selection, operating from the Southern Netherlands. Building on a strong local foundation established since its inception in 2014, the organization has grown into a reliable partner for employers and job seekers in the region. The management combines years of experience in personnel services with a personal, no-nonsense approach that aligns with the mentality of the Southern Dutch SME sector. By consciously choosing an outsourced, certified back office (ABU/SNA/VCU), the company has been able to focus on its core activity: matching supply and demand in the labor market. This choice has resulted in a lean organization with high revenue per employee and healthy profitability. The company enjoys a stable client base with long-standing relationships.

Company activities

The core activities consist of temporary staffing and recruitment & selection, with a focus on the engineering, manufacturing, logistics, and construction sectors, primarily for SMEs in the Southern Netherlands. The company mediates candidates across various job categories, building long-term relationships with both clients and flexible workers. Payroll, contract administration, and legal compliance are fully outsourced to an ABU/SNA/VCU-certified back-office partner, ensuring optimal protection for all hirers and temporary workers and relieving the company of administrative burdens. Recruitment & selection constitutes a supplementary, high-quality service in which candidates are employed directly by the client. This combination of temporary staffing and recruitment & selection allows for a flexible response to client needs, ranging from temporary shortages to structural staffing requirements.

Unique selling points

The company's distinctive capability lies in the combination of local market knowledge, personal service, and an efficient operational model. By outsourcing the back office to a certified partner, the organization has limited overhead and an EBITDA margin well above the average in the staffing industry. The company maintains close contact with clients and flex workers, resulting in a high degree of customer loyalty and a large share of repeat business. The company generates a normalized annual EBITDA of approximately €375,000 to €381,000. This combination of scalability, low capital requirements, and a proven revenue model makes the company attractive to a buyer looking to grow within the regional flex sector.

Other

The company is suitable for both a strategic buyer active in the staffing or personnel services sector wishing to strengthen the Southern Netherlands region, and for a financial buyer or entrepreneur looking to invest in a profitable, scalable formula with limited capital outlay. Depending on the buyer's wishes, the current management is willing to oversee a transition period to ensure a smooth transfer of client relationships and knowledge. There is room for further growth through an increase in the number of clients, a broadening of sectors, and/or geographical expansion within the Southern Netherlands.
