WerkMetTalent

What WerkMetTalent does

WerkMetTalent is a Dutch online job platform headquartered in Nunspeet (with a secondary office in Genemuiden) that intermediates between Christian-values-aligned employers and job seekers primarily in the Dutch Biblebelt. The company's core technology is a web-based vacancy portal (werkmettalent.nl) where employers post roles and candidates browse and apply, supported by structured filtering (province, contract hours, employment type, field, education level) and a CV database that recruiters consult to surface candidates for unlisted (stille) vacancies before public posting. The company was acquired in 2019 by ECM dialoog, an organizational consultancy that also operates sister brand JufMeester (a substitute teacher pool for Protestant-Christian primary schools); together the office teams comprise approximately 20 people, with 8 advisors dedicated to WerkMetTalent.

The commercial offering is structured around three pillars: (1) four-tier vacancy posting packages (Pakket A-D, €119-€319) with cross-posting to Reformatorisch Dagblad and Kwebler; (2) annual partner packages from €1,950, including unlimited postings, magazine discounts, event discounts, and CV database monitoring; and (3) success-based recruitment fees (no cure no pay) for full-cycle Werving & Selectie engagements. Adjacent products include the Werkblad vacaturemagazine (biannual, 50,000+ reach, with a 2026 shift to regional editions), the annual Christelijk Loopbaanevent (co-organized with Reformatorisch Dagblad, 5th edition in January 2027), and free career guidance (Loopbaanbegeleiding) for job seekers. GTM is advisor-led and event-driven, layered on a self-serve marketplace.

The customer base spans Christian healthcare (Leger des Heils, Eleos, Siloah, Cedrah, Adullam, RST, Timon, Stichting Ontmoeting, Elim & Maranatha, Sirjon), education (JufMeester, VGS), construction and industrial (Beens Groep, Hop Metaalconservering, Meijer Hekwerken, Gebrs. Fuite, Verdouw, Rebel Deuren, DBBO Groep, Van Beek, KeraStone, Hoeflon, Kayim Group, Paul Roescher), and retail (Goudwisselkantoor, DB Keukens, Fiscaris). Strategic partners include Reformatorisch Dagblad (core media partner, 90,000 ND newsletter recipients) and Kwebler (Christian social network). Management is led operationally by Marien Klein (MT Bedrijfsvoering, also managing ECM dialoog and JufMeester), with advisors Rick Koetsier, Mathilde Lindeboom, Harmen Timmerman, officemanager Dienke Hubach, and marketing lead Karen Buijtenhuis.
