Vnom

What Vnom does

Vnom (legal entity: V-NOM Project- & Interimmanagement B.V.) is a Dutch privately held technical staffing agency headquartered in Rotterdam, founded in 2009 and operating with a reported 501-1,000 employees. The company places skilled workers across five sectors — Werktuigbouwkunde (mechanical engineering), Elektro- & Installatietechniek (electrical and installation technology), Bouw & Infra (construction and infrastructure), Office, and Logistiek — through four service lines: uitzenden (temporary staffing), detachering (secondment), werving & selectie (permanent placement), and ZZP Bemiddeling (freelance brokerage). Under the ABU-cao, VNOM acts as employer of record for temporary placements, handling payroll, compliance, and worker administration while charging margin to client companies.

The company's product surface centers on a dual-portal architecture: a worker portal (portal.vnom.nl/werknemer) where candidates submit hours and manage profiles, and an employer portal (portal.vnom.nl/werkgever) for client-side staffing management, supported by a public job board and SEO-optimized vacancy pages structured by sector, function, and location. VNOM operates an internal training and certification division — VNOM Academy and VNOM Talents — that delivers BBL (work-study) trajectories, reskilling programs, and trade certifications at no cost to participants, functioning as a captive candidate-supply pipeline. Operations are supported by analytics tooling (Google Analytics, Hotjar, Datatrics), email automation (Hellodialog), and live chat (Trengo). The company holds ABU, Doorzaam, NEN 4400-1, and VCU (2024-2025) certifications, operates five regional offices across the Netherlands, and maintains a sponsorship with Sparta Rotterdam.

Revenue is generated exclusively from employer clients across multiple B2B verticals, with margin captured on temporary labor markups, permanent placement fees, secondment rates, and freelance brokerage take-rates. Candidates are not charged. The business model relies on sector-specialized recruitment consultants engaging both sides of the market alongside digital self-service portals, with a promised one-hour response time to applications functioning as the primary service-level differentiator. Salaries visible on postings (€800-€6,000/month gross) reflect worker compensation rather than pricing to employers.

Revenue model

1. Uitzenden (Temporary Staffing): VNOM places temporary workers (uitzendkrachten) with client companies. VNOM acts as the employer of record, handling payroll, compliance (ABU-cao), and worker administration while charging client companies a margin on labor costs. This is the core revenue engine, supported by VCU and NEN 4400-1 certifications for safe and compliant labor provision.
2. Detachering (Secondment): Detachment/secondment services for employers who need specialized technical personnel for defined periods, with VNOM maintaining the employment contract while the worker is assigned to the client.
3. Werving & Selectie (Recruitment & Selection): Direct hire recruitment services placing candidates permanently at client organizations, generating one-time placement fees.
4. ZZP Bemiddeling (Freelancer Matching): Brokerage service connecting self-employed professionals (zzp'ers) with project-based assignments. VNOM handles invoicing/facturation, weekly payments, and contract administration on behalf of freelancers, taking a margin on rates.
