What ForeignFlex does

ForeignFlex B.V. is a Dutch temporary employment agency (uitzendbureau) founded in 1998 and headquartered in Boxmeer, Netherlands, that recruits and places foreign workers—primarily from Poland and other EU countries—with Dutch employers. The company operates a single integrated service platform covering recruitment, screening, placement, payroll, housing coordination, transport, and 24/7 personal support for placed workers. Core operations are governed by the ABU (Algemene Bond Uitzendondernemingen) collective labor agreement, and the company uses the ABU phase system for contract progression, with workers paid weekly and employers invoiced on a margin-on-wages basis.

The business is built on a standard temporary-staffing model with no proprietary technology; the public-facing infrastructure is a multilingual WordPress site (Dutch, English, Polish) hosted on Microsoft Azure. ForeignFlex does not sell software or platforms—its "products" are service bundles delivered to two customer segments: Dutch employers (B2B) seeking to fill warehouse, logistics, food-processing, and production roles, and labor migrants (B2C) seeking employment, housing, and administrative support in the Netherlands. Named enterprise clients include Picnic, Hessing, Lidl Online, and multiple food-processing operators across at least 11 Dutch cities.

ForeignFlex generates revenue as a professional-services agency, earning a margin on worker hourly gross rates that typically range from €14.25 to €18.30 per hour, with shift allowances and an 8.1% ATV (advantageous time-off) component layered on top. The company is a subsidiary of holding company Strataegis BV, which also controls sister entities Logejo (housing), Werkpool, Teqwork (additional staffing brands), and JobHousing, giving the group vertical integration across labor supply, accommodation, and transport services. GTM is hybrid: SEO-driven multilingual web presence and direct employer outreach (phone, email, vacancy registration forms), supported by industry participation through ABU and SNF (Stichting Normering Flexwonen) housing standards.
