• TMC Group: TMC is a Dutch technical consultancy that recruits, employs, and deploys engineering professionals across construction, mechanical, and industrial domains. It is a strong direct comparable given its Dutch focus, technical specialization, and overlap with Kracht's installatietechniek and techniek & industrie verticals.

Broad incumbents

• ManpowerGroup Netherlands: ManpowerGroup is a major global staffing firm with a substantial Dutch presence placing technical, industrial, and construction workers.
