Stam

What Stam does

Stam BV is a Netherlands-based employment services and reintegration specialist founded in 1991, headquartered in Heerenveen, operating for over 35 years across the Northern Netherlands. The firm helps people with disabilities—including autism spectrum disorder (ASS), non-congenital brain injury (NAH), mild intellectual disabilities (LVB), and psychological limitations—find and sustain paid employment through specialized job coaching, reintegration, outplacement, career research, and absenteeism management services. Stam also advises private employers on inclusive hiring, occupational health, and external confidential advisor services, serving customers ranging from SMEs and hospitals to government bodies and industrial firms.

Service delivery is grounded in proprietary, evidence-based methodologies: the Supported Employment (SE) approach combined with the Eigen Initiatief Model (EIM), which together form the firm's branded "Stam-methodiek." The company is certified by Autisme Centraal in Gent to deliver the AutismeCentraalMethodiek (an ABCDEF framework: Autistisch denken, Basisrust, Concrete communicatie, Dubbelspoor, Eigenheid, Functionaliteit) and the AutismeBelevingsCircuit (ABC). These methodologies are delivered by Noloc-certified job coaches and career advisors, Dariuz-certified wage value experts, Hobéon SKO-certified confidential advisors, and Autisme Centraal-certified autism coaches. Stam holds multiple sector certifications including the Blik op Werk Keurmerk and UWV Erkende Jobcoachorganisatie recognition, providing eligibility for government procurement contracts.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services delivered under a framework agreement (raamovereenkomst) with UWV across five labor market regions (Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Flevoland, regio Zwolle) and direct contracts with municipalities across Friesland, Groningen, and Drenthe under the Participatiewet. Private employer services—including outplacement, re-integration second track, and confidential advisor subscriptions—are priced at €3,500–€6,000 per trajectory, €375/year plus €135/hour, and €1,250 per participant for the Mind Your Step training. The firm operates from four offices in Heerenveen, Groningen, Hoogeveen, and Zwolle, holds the chair of the national Jobcoaching Nederland Kennisplatform, and is led by director Margreet Boersma. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investment.
