USG People

What USG People does

RGF Staffing The Netherlands, historically operating under the USG People brand, is a Dutch staffing and HR services company headquartered in Almere. It connects job seekers and temporary workers with client businesses through temporary staffing placements and direct permanent recruitment, operating more than 90 offices across the Netherlands and serving more than 2,100 customer organizations. The business places more than 47,000 temporary workers, supported by 1,400+ internal employees, and generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on hourly staffing margins and one-time placement fees on permanent hires. Specialized verticals include Digital & IT, Finance & Legal, Marketing & Sales, and People & Culture recruitment, alongside a government and social-employment program branded as RGF Connect.

The company operates as the Dutch arm of RGF Staffing, an international HR services group with presence in Australia, Asia, Europe, and North America, providing access to multinational clients and cross-border best practices. Its go-to-market is sales-led and physically distributed: a 90+ office network provides local recruiter proximity to SMB and mid-market clients, supported by a corporate website, LinkedIn presence, and direct placement channels. The company holds ABU (Algemeen Bond Uitzendbureau) certification, signaling compliance with Dutch collective labor agreements, occupational health and safety standards, and sector regulations. No proprietary technology platform or AI-driven matching system is disclosed in the source material; the technology stack appears conventional for the staffing industry, relying on recruiter-led processes augmented by standard web and CRM tooling.
