National Talent Bank

What National Talent Bank does

Nationale Talentenbank is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (Stichting) operating under ANBI tax-exempt status from Breda, the Netherlands, that runs a free two-sided job-matching marketplace called Talentcard. Job seekers (branded Werkvinders) register a free Talentcard profile and can browse vacancies, while employers post vacancies at no cost; the platform's registered base stood at approximately 1,438 candidates. The technology stack is a web-based platform with an automated matching layer, an integrated DISC personality test, and a separately monetized Online Learning module offering 58+ e-learning courses. The company holds NRTO certification and operates within the loopbaan holding alongside affiliated brands At Monday and HOBP, with Raymond Diemer of At Monday serving as director.

The business model is freemium on the core marketplace and transactional on learning: vacancies and profiles are free, while revenue is generated from paid e-learning courses starting at €8.48 and from potential premium add-ons such as DISC assessments. Named employer-side users span large public-sector and enterprise organizations — Ministerie SZW, Openbaar Ministerie, TU Delft, TU Eindhoven, ANWB, Athlon, Technolution, and Ortec — alongside SMEs such as Carapax IT and Ocullus Consultancy, with a stated focus on inclusive employment segments including candidates on the autism spectrum, 50+ workers, and refugees.

Strategically, Nationale Talentenbank positions itself as a low-cost, mission-driven alternative to commercial Dutch recruitment platforms, leveraging ANBI status to attract CSR- and public-sector-driven hiring and bundling content, assessments, and matching under one roof. The disclosed footprint remains Netherlands-only, the disclosed headcount is 1-10, and no external funding rounds or AI/ML capabilities have been documented; the principal growth levers are cross-selling learning and assessment products to the existing Werkvinder base and expanding the affiliated loopbaan ecosystem.
