JIJ Uitzendbureau

What JIJ Uitzendbureau does

JIJ Uitzendbureau is a private Dutch employment agency operating under JIJ Holding B.V., founded around 2000 by two friends and headquartered at Suikerlaan 13 in Groningen. The company runs three branch offices — Groningen (HQ), Assen, and Stadskanaal — serving employers and job seekers across the provinces of Groningen, Friesland, and Drenthe, as well as the five Dutch Wadden Islands (Texel, Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland, and Schiermonnikoog) via its seasonal WAD'N WERK program. It is organized through five wholly-owned subsidiaries covering core staffing, technical placements (JIJ Techniek BV), construction placements (JIJ Uitzendbureau Bouw BV), the Stadskanaal branch, and a parallel employment entity.

The company offers five service pillars: (1) Uitzenden & Detacheren (temporary staffing and detaching of workers to client companies); (2) ZZP (freelancer matching and invoicing/billing administration with payment within 5 working days); (3) Baan naar Baan (permanent job-to-job transition placement); (4) Opleiden / BBL (work-learn vocational training programs in construction, technical, and green sectors); and (5) WAD'N WERK (seasonal island employment including travel, accommodation, and onboarding support, with a German-language variant). It specializes in five industry verticals — Bouw (construction), Techniek (technical), Groen (landscaping/horticulture), Schoonmaak (cleaning), and Horeca (hospitality). Revenue is earned exclusively from employer clients via transaction-based placement fees; job seeker registration is free of charge.

Technology infrastructure is minimal: the company operates a website-based job board and self-service registration portal, publishes vacancies through more than 10 online job boards, uses Pay4me.nl for hours and payroll processing, and supplements the website with phone, WhatsApp, and email (Vacature Alert). Matching is performed manually by approximately 12 staff across the three offices, with sector-specialized account managers (Bouw, Horeca). The company holds VCA safety certification, Erkend Leerbedrijf training recognition, and MVO corporate social responsibility certification at the Assen branch.
