What QISS IT does

QISS IT bv is a Dutch IT staffing and solutions company headquartered in Den Haag, founded in 2010 as part of the Univativ Group. The company places communicative, certified IT professionals at organizations across the Randstad region (Den Haag, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Utrecht) through a portfolio spanning IT detachering (staffing), co-sourcing, integrated solutions, and managed services (MSP) covering cloud migrations, modern workplace, cybersecurity, and IT support. It serves enterprise and mid-market customers including Shell, ABN AMRO, L'Oréal, Yamaha Motor, ANWB, Gemeente Delft, and St Antonius Ziekenhuis, with a particular focus on the Dutch Top 500 employer segment and government clients.

The company's underlying technology and methodology stack centers on Microsoft 365-centric IT delivery, the proprietary QISS Academy online learning platform, and a structured IT Traineeship program combining a 3-4 week bootcamp (covering MS-900, AZ-900, ITIL, TOPdesk, MTA certifications) with specialization tracks in Functioneel Applicatiebeheer, Security, Project Management, and Modern Workplace. Candidate matching uses DISC personality analysis and game-based assessments to optimize cultural and personality fit, which the company reports delivers 80%+ candidate retention at client sites after 4 years.

QISS IT generates revenue through multiple streams: hourly/monthly detachment billings on deployed consultants (transaction/take-rate model), subscription-style traineeship programs (starting salaries of €2,600–€3,200/month disclosed), fixed-price Incompany training and Tender writing services, and MSP project-based managed services. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise and mid-market field sales in the Randstad, supplemented by a referral partnership network including Randstad, Manpower, Brunel, Deloitte, and UWV, and community-led demand generation through Diversity Day, Girls' Day (VHTO), and Equals partnership campaigns. The company is ISO 9001 certified for 10+ years and held NEN 4400-1 and SNA-Keurmerk certifications as of 2025.
