Jobcenter

What Jobcenter does

Jobcenter B.V. is a privately held Dutch staffing and recruitment agency founded in 1998 and headquartered in Deventer, Overijssel, operating under CEO/DGA Jeffrey Ooms. The company provides labor-mediation services — temporary staffing (uitzenden), contracting and secondment (detachering), permanent recruitment (werving & selectie), and freelance mediation (ZZP bemiddeling) — to employers and job seekers across Oost-Nederland, Midden-Nederland, Noord-Nederland, Randstad, Zuid-Nederland, and selected international placements. Service delivery is organized into three divisions: Techniek & Engineering, Zakelijke Dienstverlening, and Interim Projecten, with an Opleidingstrajecten training program offered as an ancillary service. Named enterprise clients include Strukton Worksphere, ModusLink B.V., De Groot Installatiegroep, and BNS International.

The business operates on a sales-led, relationship-driven model in which specialized consultants match candidates to employer needs through direct consultation, supported by a website with self-service vacancy browsing, candidate registration, CV upload, and keyword-based Job Search Agent email alerts. There is no proprietary technology platform: the company relies on standard applicant-tracking and CRM tooling, and no public API, AI capability, or developer portal is disclosed. Compliance and credibility are anchored in SNA, VCU (2022-2025), NBBU CAO Uitzendkrachten, and Erkend leerbedrijf certifications, which serve as gating credentials for Dutch enterprise staffing engagements.

The revenue model is transactional across all four service lines, with fees structured as a percentage of annual salary for permanent placements and as hourly or daily markups for temporary and seconded assignments; no public pricing is disclosed. The group comprises Jobcenter B.V. and two wholly owned operating subsidiaries — Jobcenter Intermediaire Diensten B.V. and Jobcenter Interim Projecten B.V. — and remains founder-owned with no disclosed external funding, M&A, or change-of-control events. Long-tenured staff (Hans Bongers since 2000, Anke van Uden 13+ years) anchor client continuity, and 76 concurrent active vacancies indicate ongoing placement velocity across regions.
