What SPRING TODAY does

SPRING TODAY B.V. is a Netherlands-based niche recruitment and consulting firm founded in 2015 by Lisette Weersink and headquartered in Bilthoven/De Bilt. The company specializes exclusively in change and transformation management, connecting Top 100 organizations in the Netherlands with experienced interim and permanent Change & Transformation managers through a proprietary database of 2,800+ specialists. SPRING TODAY operates a second line, the Change Management Platform—an invitation-only community for change leaders from Top 100 organizations, capped at two members per organization, with quarterly events and masterclasses—alongside a content library of downloadable guides and methodology frameworks (ADKAR, Kotter, Lewin, Six Batteries of Change).

The business generates revenue through three streams: percentage-of-salary recruitment fees for permanent placements (paid in three installments), fixed-percentage-of-hourly-rate fees for interim staffing (with a "no cure, no pay" principle), and modest annual contributions from Change Management Platform membership designed only to cover event costs. Distribution is direct enterprise sales to Top 100 organizations across the corporate, healthcare, and public sectors, supplemented by personal outreach to the firm's network of vetted change professionals. SPRING TODAY maintains a strategic partnership with LQ (Vlerick Business School-affiliated) to integrate the Six Batteries of Change framework into joint client engagements, and works with named clients including ASML, Philips, Shell, AkzoNobel, ABN AMRO, Heineken, Nike EMEA, Damen Shipyards, Vanderlande, T-Systems, FrieslandCampina, Alliander, Rijkswaterstaat, Diakonessenhuis, and Erasmus University. The core team comprises approximately five professionals, and the company operates without external funding.

Revenue model

1. Permanent Placement Recruitment Fees: SPRING TODAY charges a recruitment fee for permanent placements, calculated as a percentage of the candidate's first-year salary. Payment is structured in three installments: startup costs, fee for presenting the candidate shortlist, and final payment upon successful placement.
2. Interim Staffing Fees: For interim/interim contract positions, SPRING TODAY charges a fixed percentage of the hourly rate. They operate on a 'no cure, no pay' principle for interim placements, meaning clients only pay if a suitable candidate is found.
3. Change Management Platform Membership: The Change Management Platform charges a small contribution from members purely to cover event costs, with no profit motive attached. This provides access to quarterly events, online networking with Top 100 change leaders, and knowledge exchange.
