Selexion

What Selexion does

Selexion B.V. is a Netherlands-headquartered, founder-owned cross-border staffing agency founded in 2022 that recruits skilled workers from Spain for Dutch employers experiencing persistent skilled-labor shortages. The firm operates from two offices — its headquarters in Etten-Leur (Pottenbakkerstraat 41, 4871 EP) and a regional recruitment office in Barcelona (C/ de Sancho de Ávila 105, 08018) — and employs 9 people. The Barcelona presence enables face-to-face candidate outreach, screening, and initial interviews, while the Dutch office manages client relationships and employer-side delivery.

The company's core offering is a single end-to-end recruitment service: a client requests personnel, Selexion recruiters in Spain source and present candidates, a match is selected and relocated, and the placed worker is supported through housing (minimum private bedroom, shared facilities, max 4 per residence), transport, and fully certified payroll administration. Service quality is anchored by bilingual Dutch-Spanish staff (some with dual-cultural backgrounds) and 25+ years of founder experience in personnel mediation in the South-West Netherlands region. No proprietary technology platform, AI, or API is mentioned; operations run on a human-mediated professional services model with a certified administrative backoffice.

Selexion generates revenue as a professional services staffing agency, charging Dutch employers a quote-based fee for recruiting, relocating, and administering Spanish workers placed in the Netherlands. Go-to-market combines an enterprise field-sales motion (in-person visits to Dutch companies) with a self-serve inbound website contact form, supported by organic channels including the Spanish-language job portal slxn.es and Instagram. The primary customer segment is Dutch companies seeking hard-to-fill skilled positions; a secondary segment serves Spanish companies hiring Dutch-, Spanish-, or English-speaking personnel.

Direct peers

• Otto Work Force: Dutch cross-border staffing agency that recruits workers primarily from Eastern Europe for Dutch employers. Operates a near-identical end-to-end model covering relocation, housing, transport, and payroll, making it the closest direct competitor to Selexion's Spain-to-Netherlands corridor.

Broad incumbents

• Tempo-Team: Dutch staffing agency (part of Randstad) providing temporary staffing and recruitment services across the Netherlands. Comparable through Dutch staffing market overlap but lacks the cross-border specialization.
• House of HR: Belgian-based staffing group that owns Otto Work Force and operates multiple HR services brands across Europe. Comparable through its cross-border staffing subsidiaries and broader European HR services portfolio.
• USG People: Dutch staffing and HR services firm (now part of RGF Staffing) offering temporary staffing, permanent placement, and HR solutions across the Netherlands. Comparable through Dutch staffing services and HR solutions.
• Adecco: Global staffing and workforce solutions provider with strong Dutch presence, offering temporary staffing, permanent placement, and career transition services. Comparable as a broad staffing incumbent but lacks Selexion's cross-border corridor focus.
• ManpowerGroup: Global staffing leader with Dutch operations providing temporary, permanent, and recruitment services across professional, industrial, and administrative roles. Comparable through staffing breadth but operates across many geographies.
• Randstad: World's largest staffing company with significant Dutch market share across all major industries and skill levels. Overlaps with Selexion through general staffing and recruitment services but does not specialize in cross-border labor mobility.
• Hays: International recruitment firm specializing in professional and skilled trades recruitment across construction, property, healthcare, and other sectors. Comparable through skilled worker shortage focus in European markets.

Regional players

• Yacht: Dutch professional staffing brand (part of Randstad) focused on placing higher-skilled professionals in the Netherlands. Comparable through Dutch professional staffing services, though it operates in a different skill tier than Selexion.
• ASA: Dutch staffing agency providing temporary staffing, secondment, and recruitment services across multiple sectors in the Netherlands. Comparable through Dutch staffing services and SMB customer focus.
