What Haert does

Haert B.V. is a Dutch Managed Service Provider (MSP), broker, and contract management company specializing in the compliant external hiring (inhuur) of interim professionals and self-employed freelancers (zzp'ers). Founded in 2015 as Reijn and rebranded to Haert in February 2023, the firm operates as a subsidiary of the family-owned Driessen Groep and is headquartered at the Brainport Human Campus in Helmond, Netherlands. Its core service portfolio is structured in three tiers — Contractmanagement (compliance-only), Broker Dienstverlening (matching plus supplier/zzp network access), and full MSP (outsourced contingent workforce management backed by a Vendor Management System). The company targets Dutch public-sector buyers — primarily municipalities, water boards, provinces, universities, and regional education institutions — with growing reach into public healthcare (GGD) and profit organizations, supported by an ecosystem of more than 1,000 specialized suppliers and 30,000 engaged professionals.

Haert's technology backbone consists of two client-facing portals — the proprietary MijnHaert and the integrated Nétive platform — through which contact persons, suppliers, and freelancers submit requests, view assignments, declare hours, and manage invoicing. The company combines these digital channels with a relationship-led go-to-market: personal advisors consult directly with public-sector buyers, while the firm runs free Kennissessies on Wet DBA compliance, publishes the Inhuurgids strategic guide, and maintains content marketing via LinkedIn, Instagram, newsletters, and ZiPconomy webinars. No public API, AI/ML features, or proprietary matching algorithms are disclosed; selection and screening rely on the curated supplier network and human advisory overlay.

Haert monetizes through three streams: (1) brokerage fees per placement or percentage of rate (transaction-based), (2) recurring MSP management fees under multi-year contracts, and (3) contract-management fees billed one-to-one on tariff agreements without markup. The firm holds B Corp certification (via Driessen Groep), ISO 9001, ISO 14001, NEN 4400-1, SNA, and Bovib certifications, positioning itself as a compliance-heavy intermediary for the Dutch public sector. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
