What Warx Personeel does

Warx Personeel (legal entity Warx Personeelsdiensten B.V.) is a private Dutch employment agency founded in 2012 by Jarno Schra and headquartered in Staphorst, Overijssel. The company delivers three core staffing services: temporary staffing ('Uitzenden'), longer-term detachment ('Detacheren'), and end-to-end recruitment & selection ('Werving & Selectie'), supplemented by a dedicated international recruitment line ('Warx Internationaal') that places Polish workers at Dutch employers with housing and job-coaching support.

The company's technology stack is standard for a Dutch staffing bureau: candidate and employer administration runs on the Helloflex HRM platform, with self-serve intake via website, phone, WhatsApp, and in-person office visits. There are no proprietary AI, data, or platform assets disclosed. Service delivery is centered on a small (~11-person) in-house team that runs direct account management on the employer side and personal candidate matching on the worker side, with the founder personally engaged in regional client relationships.

Warx makes money through standard staffing unit economics—transaction fees on placed hours for temporary and detachment work, and one-time placement fees for recruitment & selection. Placed salaries range from roughly €2,600 to €3,750 per month across commercial, technical, production, and administrative roles, billed with weekly salary cycles as a worker benefit. The customer base is regional, spanning SMB and enterprise employers in construction, metalworking, flooring, infrastructure, and logistics in the Staphorst-Meppel-Zwolle corridor, with a separate sales motion into Polish-speaking candidates via the Warx Polska branch. Compliance is a sales enabler: the firm holds SNA/NEN 4400-1, NBBU membership, and SNF housing certifications, which qualify it for enterprise and migrant-housing contracts.
