Bring at Work

What Bring at Work does

Bring at Work is a privately held Dutch staffing and recruitment agency headquartered in Amsterdam, founded in 2011 and operating across the Netherlands. The company matches job seekers with employer organizations across five vertical segments — healthcare and wellbeing, childcare (kinderopvang), hospitality (horeca), blue-collar trades, and business services — delivering a portfolio of five core service lines: Uitzenden (temporary staffing), Detacheren (contract detachment), Werving en Selectie (permanent recruitment and selection), ZZP-bemiddeling (freelance intermediation), and Optimale Flexibele Schil (strategic flexible-workforce advisory).

Commercially, Bring at Work monetizes through margin on placed temporary workers, recurring fee income from detachment contracts, transactional placement fees for permanent hires, and intermediation fees for freelancers, with pricing negotiated per engagement and not publicly disclosed. The company also offers an education-and-financing program (Opleidingen/Bijscholing) that funds diploma trajectories — particularly KDV2/BSO2 routes — required for entry into the childcare sector, addressing a structural talent shortage. Distribution is sales-led: direct employer engagement on one side and a self-serve applicant portal (solliciteren.bringatwork.nl) with hours-tracking functionality on the other, supported by content marketing across a blog, Instagram, and email.

Technically, the stack is conventional: a WordPress-based website (logo and favicon assets dated 2021/2024), an applicant self-service portal, and a consultant-curated (not algorithmic) matching workflow. No proprietary AI/ML systems, data assets, patents, integrations, or API surfaces are disclosed. The firm is founder-led by Britt Kreeft (directeur en medeoprichter) with a small named consulting team (~5 consultants), remains privately held with no recorded external funding or M&A, and serves a nationwide client base from its Amsterdam operations.

Product overview

Bring at Work is a Dutch staffing and recruitment agency that operates as a unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. Their core portfolio consists of staffing services for employers and job placement services for candidates, organized across five primary service lines: Uitzenden (temporary staffing), Werving en Selectie (recruitment and selection), Detacheren (contract/detachment work), ZZP-bemiddeling (freelance mediation), and Optimale Flexibele Schil (optimal flexible workforce management). These services are delivered through specialized vacancy categories covering Healthcare (Zorg en Welzijn), Childcare (Kinderopvang), Hospitality (Horeca), Trade professions (Doe-beroepen), and Business Services (Zakelijke dienstverlening). For job seekers, the company offers assistance with job searching, and for employers, they provide workforce solutions including the ability to request quotes (offerte aanvragen). The service model emphasizes personal approach, flexibility, and quality, with operations centered in Amsterdam but serving clients throughout the Netherlands.
