What TCF does

TCF B.V. is a privately held Dutch healthcare staffing and recruitment agency headquartered in Amsterdam (IJburglaan 1389 C-D). Founded in 1998 and led by Director/Owner Esther Kornelis, TCF specializes in placing nurses, caregivers (Helpende, Verzorgende IG), personal coaches, and support staff across four healthcare verticals: elderly care (ouderenzorg), home care (thuiszorg), disability care (gehandicaptenzorg), and mental healthcare (GGZ). The company operates through two service lines: temporary staffing/detachment (uitzenden/detacheren) and permanent placement (werving & selectie), with up to 4-year flexible contracts offered to manage peak demand and sick leave coverage at client care organizations.

The company's proprietary technology is the Shiftmanager App, a mobile platform launched in October 2025 that lets registered healthcare workers self-register for shifts across partner care organizations. TCF backs this with a contracted pool of 600+ pre-screened healthcare workers, paid weekly via a backoffice partnership with HSU under CAO NBBU terms. Named enterprise clients include Cordaan (120+ locations), Ons Tweede Thuis (40+ locations), Amsta (15+ locations), Eemhart (300+ locations across Midden-Nederland), Amstelring, and Raeger Autismecentrum, with active expansion signaled by recruitment for Amstelring's VanIJburg location opening summer 2026.

TCF generates revenue through margin on hourly bill rates for temporary placements and transaction fees on permanent placements (with a 2-month guarantee). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise engagement by an in-house team of planners and team managers with direct-to-consumer candidate recruitment via the website, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The company is an NBBU member and GDPR-compliant, with 34 internal staff plus the contracted worker pool. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external investors; the business is bootstrapped and owner-operated.

Core offering

TCF provides temporary staffing (uitzendbureau) and permanent recruitment (werving & selectie) services for healthcare professionals across the Amsterdam region. The company places qualified nursing, care, and support staff into elderly care, disability care, mental health (GGZ), and home care (thuiszorg) organizations, with employment administration delivered through its HSU backoffice partner under the regulated CAO NBBU framework.

Product overview

TCF operates as a dual-service healthcare staffing and recruitment agency, combining temporary staffing/dispatch (detacheren/uitzenden) with permanent placement (werving & selectie). Both service lines are powered by the Shiftmanager App — a self-service mobile platform through which registered healthcare workers browse available shifts and register for assignments. TCF maintains a pool of approximately 600 pre-screened healthcare workers (Zzp'ers and flex workers) and places them across partnered care organizations including Cordaan, Ons Tweede Thuis, Amsta, Amstelring, and Eemhart, covering elderly care, disability care, mental health (GGZ), and home care sectors.
