Multiselect

What Multiselect does

Multiselect is a privately held Dutch staffing and recruitment agency founded in 1999 and operating under legal entities Rijnland B.V. (KvK 01132603) and Multiselect Services B.V. (KvK 01132613). The company specializes in placing engineering and technical professionals — including foremen (uitvoerders), project leaders, work preparers (werkvoorbereiders), and other specialists — into roles within the Dutch construction (bouw), civil engineering/infrastructure (infra), and technical/installation sectors. It maintains a portfolio of 1000+ active vacancies, supports both permanent placements and ZZP (freelance/self-employed) arrangements, and operates a payroll administration service for contractors.

The company runs six physical offices across the Netherlands (Ruinerwold headquarters, Vught, Leusden, Breda, Groningen, Assen) and distributes its vacancies through multiselect.nl, Google Ads and remarketing campaigns, and a partnership with BouwVacatureBank. It is segmented into sub-brands — Multiselect Techniek (technical engineering), Multiselect Publiek (public sector), and Multiselect Next (emerging talent) — and offers niche specializations in earthquake damage restoration (Groningen) and housing corporation staffing. It holds 2025 ABU and SNA certifications confirming compliance with Dutch staffing-industry standards.

Multiselect generates revenue through professional-services fees from placements and payroll/contractor intermediation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is sales-led, with consultant-driven candidate matching rather than automated or AI-driven matching, and there is no public indication of external institutional ownership, venture capital backing, or parent-company ownership. The company is currently operating across the Netherlands with active recruitment and a multi-office regional presence.
