What RGF Staffing NL does

RGF Staffing NL, legally RGF Staffing the Netherlands B.V., is a multi-brand HR services and staffing provider headquartered in Almere, Netherlands, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tokyo-listed Recruit Holdings (TSE: 6098). The company runs a portfolio of 15+ specialized staffing brands covering general staffing (Unique, Start People), youth and student staffing (ASA Talent), administrative staffing (Secretary Plus), healthcare and physician staffing (Medi Interim, Arts & Specialist), technical and engineering staffing (Technicum), sector-dedicated professional staffing under the USG umbrella (Finance, Legal, HR, MarCom, Restart, Management & Consultancy), logistics (Easy Way), and the Younited freelancer (ZZP'er) platform. The business was originally USG People Nederland and was rebranded to its current name on April 29, 2021 to align with the global RGF Staffing network.

The operating model combines a 90+ physical branch network across the Netherlands, brand-specific websites and job portals, and direct enterprise account management covering 2,100+ corporate clients. Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on temporary worker placements (47,000+ workers placed) and permanent recruitment fees, supplemented by Younited's hybrid subscription/pay-as-you-go model for self-employed professionals (minimum €35/hour) and CSR-oriented services via the RGF Connect social impact program. Distribution spans B2C candidate acquisition, SMB and mid-market (MKB) clients, enterprise direct sales, and government partnerships including COVID-era staffing of GGD municipal health services and refugee integration programs.

The company is led by CEO Maximilian Krijgsman (appointed February 27, 2025) with Yvonne Mastenbroek as Chief Sustainability Officer and Jannette van Blitterswijk as Director Social Impact. RGF Staffing NL maintains a certification stack including ABU membership, ISO 9001/14001/27001, CO2 Reduction Management, and PSO Trede 3 social entrepreneurship certification (September 2025). It is part of Recruit Holdings' RGF Staffing international network operating in Europe, Japan, North America, and Oceania, benefiting from group-level technology resources and capital backing.
