What VINT does

VINT B.V. is a privately held Dutch recruitment agency founded in 2019 and headquartered in Groningen, Netherlands. The firm specializes in placing professionals in two vertical markets: healthcare (Zorg) and technical/industrial (Techniek). Within healthcare, VINT recruits for mental health clinics (GGZ), elderly care organizations, hospitals, private clinics, rehabilitation centers, and youth care providers, filling roles ranging from GZ-psychologen and klinisch psychologen to specialist ouderengeneeskunde and verpleegkundigen. Within the technical vertical, the firm places E&I technicians, mechanical and PLC engineers, DCS experts, HSE specialists, and field service engineers across chemical/process industry, oil and gas, renewable energy, manufacturing, and biomedical sectors.

The company operates three service lines: Werving & Selectie (direct placement on a no-cure-no-pay basis), Detavast (temp-to-perm), and Interim staffing. VINT is a sales-led, B2B firm with no proprietary technology platform disclosed; it uses standard recruitment and CRM tools including SAP for workforce administration and a UB+ candidate database. Customer acquisition relies on direct employer outreach, an active website with vacancy listings, LinkedIn and Facebook presence, WhatsApp for rapid engagement, and candidate referrals. The firm employs 7 people, including founder Auke-Anne Waal and Managing Consultant Eline van der Velde, and has expanded its vacancy coverage to all 12 Dutch provinces while maintaining its regional roots in the north of the country.
