What Trinamics does

Trinamics is a Dutch technical staffing and recruitment agency founded in 2005 and headquartered in Breda with a secondary office in Eindhoven's Brainport high-tech region. The company connects 'tried and tested' technical professionals — including mechanical, electrical, software, and automation engineers, technicians, and project engineers — with employers across sectors such as semiconductors (ASML, NXP), automotive (DAF, VDL), industrial automation (Siemens, SPIE), maritime (Damen), and healthcare technology (Philips). Its candidate pool comprises 400+ pre-screened technical professionals, augmented by a Tech Talents traineeship pipeline for entry-level talent.

The service portfolio spans six core offerings: technician placements, engineer placements, traineeships, ZZP/freelance contractor placement, staffing/detachment, and direct recruitment and selection. The operating platform is built on third-party infrastructure — Carerix CRM for candidate management and Google Analytics for web analytics — rather than proprietary technology. Trinamics holds SNA Keurmerk (NEN 4400-1), VCU safety certification through SSVV, NBBU and VvDN industry association memberships, and IND Recognized Reference status, which collectively enable compliant operation and non-EU work permit sponsorship for client employers.

The business model combines managed services revenue (detachment with bill-rate margin) and professional services revenue (recruitment fees and traineeship program fees). Trinamics operates a sales-led go-to-market with a five-step recruitment process and a hybrid customer segmentation spanning individual tech candidates (free service) and technical employer clients (paying). The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, operates exclusively in the Netherlands, and is supported by a 59-person internal team.
