Partner Group

What Partner Group does

Partner Group is a privately held Dutch staffing and personnel services firm headquartered in Echt (formerly Roermond), Limburg, Netherlands, serving employers and job seekers across the Limburg region and adjacent provinces including Gelderland and North Brabant. The company was founded in 1989 as Uitzendbureau Partner Roermond and was reorganized on January 1, 2024 through the merger of five entities — Partner HR Solutions Roermond & Maastricht, Partner HR Finance, Uitzendorganisatie Just in Time, and Workpartner International — under the unified Partner Group brand. It is owned and operated by siblings Pascal Mulders and Claudia Mulders as a family business, with a core office staff of approximately 12-15 employees.

The company offers a full-service staffing platform spanning temporary staffing (uitzenden), detachment (detachering), permanent recruitment and selection, payroll allocation, ZZP/freelancer mediation, and on-site inhouse staffing solutions, operating on a "no cure, no pay" transaction basis. Its subsidiary Profiel ASL (acquired in 2019) provides career development, coaching, and organizational change services, while the Workpartner International sub-brand specializes in placing Eastern European labor migrants. Supporting technology includes the third-party Helloflex online portal for 24/7 flexworker and employer document management, and a free CV generator tool. The company serves sectors including logistics/warehousing, technique/engineering, industry/production, and administration/office work, and maintains NEN-4400, SNA, and VCU compliance certifications alongside NBBU industry membership.

Partner Group's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, emphasizing personal, face-to-face engagement with both employers and job seekers through three regional offices (Echt, Maastricht, Sittard) and dedicated recruitment consultants — including Polish-speaking specialists for the Eastern European labor migrant segment. Revenue is generated through placement transaction fees, managed payroll services, and professional services via the Profiel ASL career development sub-brand. Distribution combines direct sales by account managers, self-service via the Helloflex portal, and inhouse consulting for high-volume clients, with community sponsorship and local SEO/LinkedIn marketing supporting top-of-funnel awareness. The company is currently consolidating post-merger and preparing to operate from a new headquarters at the Pannenfabriek in Echt.
