DIT Holding

What DIT Holding does

DIT Holding is a Netherlands-based staffing and secondment group operating exclusively in the technical trades sector. Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Waardenburg, the company connects certified Dutch and EU skilled workers (vakkrachten) with employers in elektrotechniek, installatietechniek, bouw, afbouw, metaal, and civiel & infra. As of 2025 it deploys 1,250+ craftspeople through a network of 12-16 Dutch branches plus recruitment offices in Poland and Romania. Projected 2025 revenue is approximately €100 million, generated through a classic staffing spread (the margin between worker gross salaries of roughly €2,675-€4,589/month and rates billed to client opdrachtgevers) under a sales-led, direct-to-employer go-to-market.

The group is structured as a multi-brand portfolio. DIT Personeel is the core Dutch staffing brand and acts as the legal employer, handling payroll, social security, certifications (VCA, NEN 3140), PPE, training, and continuity guarantees. Larex provides cross-border EU staffing from Poland and Romania. DIT Vakopleidingen delivers BBL vocational training and holds the Doorzaam Keurmarkt Leerwerkintermediair, functioning as both a revenue stream and a talent pipeline. Under DIT Engineering Professionals (formed in 2022 via the acquisitions of CAJA and Connetix), the group detaches higher-educated technical professionals into the same client base. DIT ZZP B.V. intermediates independent contractors, and a shared-services entity, DIT Services B.V., supports the group. Certified under NEN 4400-1, VCU 2011/05, and NBBU, DIT sells into enterprise and mid-market opdrachtgevers through commercial directors (Chris Dijkstra, Daniël Keurntjes) and account managers, with no proprietary AI/ML platform disclosed; operations run on standard HR/ERP tooling plus a recently implemented group-wide ICT system.

Revenue model

1. Staffing and secondment fees: DIT Personeel acts as the employer of technical skilled workers and places them with client companies (opdrachtgevers). Revenue is generated through the margin between the worker salary paid by DIT and the billing rate charged to the client. The company handles all employer responsibilities including payroll, social security compliance, certifications, and equipment provision.
2. EU/International staffing (Larex): Larex, part of DIT Holding, provides international EU skilled workers sourced from Poland and Romania, generating revenue through staffing fees for cross-border placement and secondment.
3. BBL vocational training services: DIT Vakopleidingen provides BBL (Beroeps Begeleidende Leerweg) vocational training programs for technical trades. While primarily a talent development initiative, this generates revenue through training contracts and related services.
4. Higher-educated technical professionals (CAJA, Connetix): CAJA and Connetix, operating under DIT Engineering Professionals since 2022, detach higher-educated technical professionals to clients, generating secondment fees.
