Werk & IK

What Werk & IK does

Werk & IK B.V. is a privately held Dutch staffing and recruitment agency (uitzendbureau) founded in 2009, headquartered at Contactweg 129 in Amsterdam with a primary operational hub at Schiphol Airport. The firm operates 24/7, 365 days a year and states it matches more than 10,000 people annually with employment opportunities. Its service portfolio covers permanent placements, contract roles, and temporary assignments across 11 sectors: Aviation, Construction/Installation/Infra, Food, Hospitality, Industry, Logistics & Transport, Production, Cleaning, Engineering, Safety, and Business Services & Technology. The aviation sector — particularly Schiphol Airport — is its anchor vertical, supplemented by regional offices in Duivendrecht, Den Bosch, and Veendam.

The company's product surface consists of four main elements: a public Job Vacancy Platform for candidate discovery and self-application; an integrated employee self-service portal called Mijn Werk & IK that aggregates FlexWrapp (administration), Flex Portal (staff information), and Workgenda (scheduling); the Werk & IK Academy for training and certification of flex workers; and direct employer-facing recruitment services. The underlying technology stack is not publicly disclosed and there are no APIs, SDKs, or documented AI/ML components. The firm maintains a blog covering aviation industry insights and career advice as a top-of-funnel content marketing channel, alongside organic social sharing.

Werk & IK's revenue model is professional-services based, derived from placement fees and the spread between client bill rates and worker pay across temporary, contract, and permanent placements. Advertised bill rates range from approximately €14.71 to €18.44 per hour for cleaning and production roles and €2,550 to €4,250 per month for technical, manufacturing, and construction positions. Payroll and salary administration for deployed workers is bundled into the integrated HR offering. The go-to-market is dual-sided and direct: enterprise employers are engaged through direct sales for vacancy posting and staffing solutions, while candidates are acquired through self-serve online application and job search. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or external funding rounds.
