Eager People

What Eager People does

Eager People is a Dutch staffing and recruitment agency headquartered at Grebbeberglaan 15 in Utrecht, Netherlands. Founded in 2006 as TuinStudent by three Utrecht students and legally registered in 2008 under the name MijnStudent, the company rebranded to Eager People on 1 January 2018 to reflect a broader market focus beyond students to also include starters and young professionals. The firm operates exclusively B2B, serving approximately 1,900 business clients with a flexpool of roughly 350 actively deployed students, starters, and professionals.

The company's core offering is the Facilitaire Flexpool, a flexible pool of pre-screened, trained workers available for short-term and project-based facility management assignments. Services span five categories: Huismeester/Conciërge/Technische Dienst, Receptie/Host(ess)/Servicedesk, Facilitair/Logistiek Medewerker, and Administratie/Projectmanagement, plus project-based work such as relocations. Underpinning operations is a proprietary internal staffing management system with online ordering and real-time availability tracking. Engagement models include Uitzenden (temporary staffing), Detacheren (detachment/long-term contracting), Werving & Selectie (permanent recruitment), and Projecten (project-based work). Payroll is processed through certified partner Pay for People (SNA-keurmerk, NEN 4400-1, ABU-certificaat compliant).

Eager People pursues a hybrid go-to-market: direct sales by a commercial team handles enterprise and mid-market clients (B2B only — the firm explicitly does not serve private individuals), while community-led talent acquisition builds the worker side via the 'Werken bij' proposition, social channels (Instagram, LinkedIn), and personal referrals. Pricing is quote-based; disclosed rates include €16/hour for Huismeester roles and €2,680-3,380/month for Servicedesk positions. Marketing uses the company website, weekly Podcast Facilitair (45+ episodes), newsletters, and customer case studies. The firm is founder-owned (Gerhard te Velde as primary director) with no disclosed external funding and operates through three BV entities under Eager People Holding BV.
