What Uitzendbureau Salland does

Uitzendbureau Salland is a regional Dutch staffing and HR services firm headquartered at 'Het Huis van Werk' on the Kaagstraat industrial estate in Raalte, founded in 2011 by Jan van Heun and later joined by André Duteweert as co-owner. The company matches workers and employers across the Salland region — the Zwolle-Deventer-Almelo triangle and surrounding municipalities — primarily in production, logistics, manufacturing, transport, and technical-engineering sectors. It operates four wholly-owned sub-brands (Uitzendbureau Salland Flex, Uitzendbureau Salland Bouw, Detachering Salland, and the driver-training specialist Salland Beroepschauffeurs) and is a member of NBBU with SNA registration across its entities.

The firm sells three core staffing modalities — temporary staffing (uitzenden), contracting (detachering), and direct-hire recruitment (werving & selectie) — alongside HR advisory and vocational training programs (forklift, truck driver, process operator certifications), with revenue generated via margin between worker wage bill rates and client billing rates, plus placement fees on permanent hires. Underlying technology is intentionally light: the company runs a website with a CV Maker, job alert subscription, and vacancy portal (on Helloflex for login), and uses WhatsApp, Meta job advertising, and online job boards as candidate acquisition channels; no proprietary software, algorithm, or AI capability is referenced.

In May 2026, MatchWorks acquired a majority stake in the business, with the founders retaining minority positions; the combined MatchWorks/Uitzendbureau Salland group generates approximately €40 million in turnover, joining labels including Flexible Plus, Uitzendbureau Oost Nederland, BC Group, Reviteers, and Get Work.

Revenue model

1. Temporary staffing (Uitzenden): The primary revenue stream: placing temporary workers (uitzendkrachten) with client companies in the production and logistics sectors. Workers are employed by Uitzendbureau Salland and assigned to client worksites. Revenue is generated through the markup between the worker wage bill rate and the client billing rate.
2. Detachering (Contracting): Placing contracted employees with client companies for longer-term assignments. Provides clients with flexibility while workers remain on Uitzendbureau Salland's payroll. Revenue is generated on a similar transaction basis with potentially higher margins for longer engagements.
3. Werving & Selectie (Direct Hire / Recruitment): Recruiting and placing candidates directly into permanent positions at client companies. A fee is charged upon successful placement, typically a percentage of the hired candidate's annual salary.
4. HR Advies en Opleidingen (HR Advisory & Training): The company offers HR advisory services and vocational training programs (e.g., forklift, truck driver, process operator certifications). Some training is funded or provided at no cost to workers, strengthening the talent pipeline while generating goodwill and placement volume.
