What Aditech does

Aditech is a Dutch technical staffing and detachment agency founded in 1994 and headquartered in Gorinchem, Netherlands, operating as Aditech B.V. through a 12-branch network across the country. The company specializes in placing skilled tradespeople — electricians, installers, mechanics, technicians, and climate/security specialists — into small and large installation companies working in housing, utility, and industrial sectors. Service lines span flexible temporary staffing (uitzending), technical detachment (detachering) for longer assignments, detavast conversions from flexible to permanent contracts, Werving & Selectie permanent recruitment, and BBL vocational training programs that combine paid work with mbo diploma study.

The business model is B2B managed-services staffing sold on a quote basis: Aditech bills client installation companies for hours worked by deployed technicians while absorbing employer-side friction such as recruitment, screening, payroll, certifications, and provisioning. The candidate-side value proposition is unusually full-stack — every worker receives Milwaukee M18 cordless tools and Packout backpacks, custom Aditech-branded workwear meeting EN 397, a dedicated personal contact person handling administrative tasks, and access to paid training in VCA VOL, NEN 3140, MBV, IDB, ODB, sprinkler/VSI-A, and HVAC disciplines. This bundled offering, combined with a 32-year operating history and a UWV partnership for sector-transition candidates, forms the core differentiation versus pure placement competitors.

Operations are organized into three internal divisions (Technical, Mechanical under Aditech Mechanical B.V., and Engineering) and are supported by VCU certification (valid until 06-01-2028), NBBU industry certification, and SNA labor-standards registration. The company is privately held with no parent, no external funding, and no disclosed ownership structure beyond its B.V. legal form. Distribution is sales-led and local: 12 regional branches drive face-to-face candidate intake and employer matching, complemented by a website-based vacancy portal for top-of-funnel reach. There is no productized AI or software offering; the underlying technology stack is operational and compliance-oriented rather than algorithmic.
