Westerduin

What Westerduin does

Westerduin Personeel B.V. is a Dutch regional staffing and personnel mediation agency (uitzendbureau) operating across Midden-Nederland. Founded in 2006 by Reinier Westerduin and headquartered in Nijkerk, the company runs eight physical branch offices covering Gelderland, Utrecht, Noord-Brabant, and Overijssel. It places temporary workers (vakkrachten) with client employers under the ABU collective labour agreement and operates as a member of the Algemene Bond Uitzendondernemingen (ABU). At the time of data capture the platform listed 885+ active vacancies across five verticals: Industrie & productie (345+), Logistiek (216+), Techniek (183+), Kantoor (74), and Zorg (67).

The company provides three primary service lines: temporary staffing dispatch (uitzending), where Westerduin employs the worker and bills the client an opdrachtgeverstarief (contractor rate) that embeds wages, social contributions, allowances, and an agency margin; permanent placement; and an open-application channel. Distribution is built around branch-based recruiters who work both sides of the market, supplemented by a candidate self-service portal (mijn.westerduin.nl) and an employer-facing vacancy registration flow. No proprietary technology platform, AI tooling, or API is referenced; the underlying stack is a Next.js website backed by Sanity CMS, with the matching function performed manually by human recruiters.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis: per Article 14 of the General Terms and Conditions, contractor rates are calculated over hours worked plus applicable surcharges, with gross reimbursements billed at cost × 1.43. Pricing is not publicly disclosed as a rate card; individual vacancy postings serve as the reference, with hourly rates around €14.71–€16 for entry-level roles and monthly salaries ranging €2,400–€5,500 for skilled technical and office roles. Westerduin is privately held with no disclosed parent company, PE/VC backing, or public listing; ownership commentary indicates independent founder/family ownership. The customer base is distributed across five verticals with one named reference customer (Vlietjonge), and the company reports 19 years of operational history and a 4.46/5 rating across 215+ Google reviews.
