Bureau Ad Interim

What Bureau Ad Interim does

Bureau Ad Interim B.V. is a Dutch interim staffing and recruitment brokerage headquartered in Ede, Netherlands, incorporated in 2021 as a private limited company (KvK 86451537). It matches organizations with interim, freelance, ZZP (self-employed), and permanent (loondienst) professionals across all Dutch provinces, covering 25+ sectors including finance, healthcare, ICT, government, and engineering. The firm's core offering is a transaction-based brokerage: it charges clients a 12.5% placement fee on the professional's hourly rate for interim/freelance/ZZP work (capped at a €15/hr agency margin) or 12.5% of gross annual salary for permanent placements (minimum €1,750 ex. VAT), under a 'No match no pay' guarantee.

The technical stack consists of a web-based candidate self-registration portal (CV upload with 24-hour business-day response) and a secure profile management platform for professionals. The firm has not developed proprietary AI/ML matching algorithms; rather, it administers third-party assessment instruments (SHL's OPQ, Verify, Motivation Questionnaire, Universal Competency Framework, and Situational Judgement Tests) via certified human assessors, available as a paid add-on service (€1,250–€1,750). A 14+ page content library, newsletter, YouTube animation, and referral/tip program (€250–€1,000 per successful placement) constitute its marketing and distribution apparatus.

The business model is fundamentally transactional with two-sided monetization: client revenue from placement fees, and ancillary revenue from assessments and website advertising (€75–€250 per slot). The firm also operates under the registered trade name 'Frintzz' (coined 2021 as a portmanteau of Freelancer, Interimmer, ZZP'er). Ownership is founder-held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external investment, M&A activity, or subsidiary structure.
