Fith

What Fith does

Fith B.V. is a Dutch private reintegration and career coaching company headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, founded in April 2000 by Richard Roth. The company specializes in second-track (2e spoor) reintegration services, helping employees who cannot return to their original employer — typically due to illness, disability, or long-term absence — find sustainable employment with a new employer. Fith also covers the broader reintegration spectrum, including 1e spoor (return to own employer), 3e spoor (post-WIA assessment support), outplacement (van werk naar werk), self-employment coaching, feasibility research, and wage-sanction support. It serves condition-specific populations across ASS, burnout, cancer, Long COVID, non-congenital brain injury (NAH), menopause, and PTSD/trauma, with named enterprise clients including KLM Cityhopper and Heku Kunststoffen, and a long-standing national framework agreement with UWV (Dutch Employee Insurance Agency) since July 2013.

Fith's technology stack centers on two proprietary digital platforms: Rapasso, a personal online portal that enables candidates to share information and collaborate with their assigned advisor; and Mijn Fith, a coaching platform hosting learning modules set up by advisors for candidate development. The company's diagnostic and coaching methodology is built on the Integratief GedragsModel (IGM), a behavioral assessment framework developed with research partner ZINZIZ and currently being extended through a 4-year ZonMw-funded research project (2023–2026). Fith also operates an internal advisor intranet (intranet.fith.nl). The platform architecture is service-delivery oriented rather than AI-driven, and the methodology is described as evidence-based rather than algorithmic.

Fith's business model is B2B professional services, with revenue generated per reintegration trajectory under multi-year framework agreements and individual contracts. Revenue streams include UWV-funded reintegration (public social security budgets), employer/insurer-funded second-track trajectories (via verzuimverzekeraars such as Achmea), and outplacement/career transition services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The workforce consists of a fixed team of approximately 12 staff supporting a nationwide network of roughly 100 self-employed senior advisors (zzp-ers) — typically retired managers and former entrepreneurs averaging ~63 years old. Sales motion is relationship-driven and consultative, combining direct employer outreach, participation in public tenders (aanbestedingen), and routing through occupational insurance providers. Fith remains privately held by founder Richard Roth with no external funding disclosed.
