What t Werkt does

't Werkt BV is a Dutch technical staffing and employment cooperative headquartered in Beusichem, Netherlands, founded around 2009 and operating for over 15 years as a specialized intermediary in Non-Destructive Testing (NDO / Niet-Destructief Onderzoek). The company supplies certified NDO professionals to industrial and energy-sector clients across all 12 Dutch provinces, with deployments covering four core NDO disciplines: radiography, ultrasonic testing, magnetic testing, and penetrant testing. Its three product lines are NDO Professional Placement, an internal 2-year NDO Trainee Development Program that certifies new specialists, and broader Technical Staffing Services spanning other technical functions.

The company operates with a small named internal team (Algemeen Directeur, Regiomanager, Controller a.i., Recruiter) and a deployed workforce of NDO specialists engaged under flexible arrangements including permanent employment, ZZP/self-employed contracts, and project-based work. It holds VCU, Metaalunie, and NEN 4400 certifications required for credible staffing agency operation in the Dutch market. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on placed personnel, with trainee compensation disclosed at €2,500-€3,000 per month plus a 28% shift allowance on displaced hours; bill rates to clients are not publicly disclosed.

Customer concentration spans maritime industry, refineries and petrochemical operators, and wind energy clients — each treated as an enterprise vertical. The company differentiates itself through domain specialization in NDO, an internal talent pipeline that addresses the scarcity of certified NDO specialists, end-to-end logistics support (equipment, protective clothing, housing, transportation) for deployed workers, and a personalized client engagement model driven by named relationship managers. Distribution is direct via a sales-led motion and a self-serve vacancy portal on twerkt.nl.
