What Education Planners does

OnderwijsPlanners is a Dutch private staffing and consultancy firm headquartered in Amsterdam that deploys specialized temporary planners and interim managers to secondary education (Voortgezet Onderwijs / VO), vocational education (Middelbaar Beroepsonderwijs / MBO), and higher vocational education (Hoger Beroepsonderwijs / HBO) institutions across the Netherlands. Its core product is the detachment of pre-trained planners who are immediately productive without onboarding, holding expertise in the dominant Dutch scheduling software platforms (Untis, Zermelo, Xedule) as well as sector-specific logistics, formative matters, and education financing structures. The company complements this core staffing offering with a portfolio of higher-value services: process optimization, consultancy and training, QuickScan assessments, and strategic outsourcing analysis, supported by a Knowledge Center (Kenniscentrum) producing articles and webinars on educational scheduling.

The business model is professional services fee-for-staffing: OnderwijsPlanners employs the planners, bills institutions a staffing margin, and guarantees a 48-hour matching window with nationwide coverage across all Dutch provinces. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-institution, augmented by content marketing through webinars, blog articles, and a downloadable brochure. Marketing channels also include LinkedIn for professional networking and direct consultation meetings as the bottom-of-funnel conversion mechanism. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

OnderwijsPlanners operates as part of a small organizational group that includes the sister company ThuiszorgPlanners, which provides comparable staffing services to the healthcare sector; the two share a recruitment platform (werkenbij.proudtobeaplanner.nl) and combined marketing presence. The company is SNA-certified (Stichting Naleving Arbeidswetten), confirming compliance with Dutch labor laws for staffing intermediaries. The company is founder-led by Erik Braun (Co-Owner & Founder), has no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds, and generates revenue through staffing fees and consultancy engagements with no public revenue disclosure.
