Hubsub B.v.

What Hubsub B.v. does

Hubsub B.v., trading as HUBSUB, is a privately held Dutch staffing and detachment (detacheringsbureau) agency headquartered at Beemdstraat 24, 5652 AB Eindhoven, with a second office in Utrecht. The firm places mid-career professionals on temporary, project-based assignments at client organisations, employing the professionals itself and charging clients for their time. It is organised around three core service teams: VTH (Vergunningverlening, Toezicht & Handhaving) for permits, supervision, and enforcement roles; KVM (Kwaliteit, Veigheid & Milieu) for safety, quality, and environment specialists; and Duurzaamheid for sustainability, energy transition, and climate advisory professionals. Customers range from Dutch ministries and agencies (e.g., Rijkswaterstaat) and municipalities (e.g., Gemeente West Betuwe, Gemeente Den Haag) to private-sector companies in construction (Croonwolter&Dros, Krinkels) and chemicals (Tanatex Chemicals).

Differentiated from conventional Dutch staffing firms by a candidate-first go-to-market: HUBSUB identifies the professional's "9,5" talent profile and presents at least three project options, letting the candidate choose the assignment. Professionals receive a fixed monthly salary (disclosed ranges €4,000-€7,000 gross depending on role), employment continuity between projects, a personal talent manager, community membership, and benefits including lease-car, phone, and laptop options. Distribution is purely domestic Netherlands, executed through direct enterprise and government sales plus referral-driven HUBBER recruitment; no proprietary software platform or productised technology exists.

HUBSUB monetises through professional-services billing on placed hours, with no publicly disclosed rates or contract values. The company has raised no external funding, has no parent or institutional investor, and operates with a founder-led, privately held structure that website disclosures suggest dates to 2022 (the same year as the firm's stated founding). Operating resources as of the available data include 80+ total professionals, including 69-79 in the KVM community, supported by at least eight recruiters, multiple talent managers, and an active social-media and event-led employer brand across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

Direct peers

• Maandag (Visma): Maandag is a Dutch staffing and detachering firm under Visma specializing in public-sector and project-based professionals, including safety, KAM, and inspection roles - directly comparable to HubSub's VTH/KVM/Duurzaamheid teams.
• Yacht (Randstad Nederland): Yacht is the Dutch professional-staffing arm of Randstad focused on higher-educated temps and project-based placements. It is the closest large-scale analog to HubSub's candidate-centric detachering model across government and technical verticals in the Netherlands.
• Brunel International: Brunel is a global specialist staffing firm with a strong Dutch practice placing engineering, safety, and project professionals on long-term assignments. Its focus on technical niches and project-based placements matches HubSub's KVM and construction-safety positioning.
• Hays Netherlands: Hays is an international professional-staffing firm placing technical and project specialists on contract and permanent bases, with a strong Dutch practice in construction, infrastructure, and engineering, overlapping HubSub's KVM and infrastructure verticals.
• Michael Page Netherlands: Michael Page operates a Dutch professional staffing practice focused on mid-to-senior technical and project roles. It overlaps with HubSub on government/infrastructure project staffing, though stronger on permanent placements.
• DPA (DPA Bank & Verzekeringen / DPA Engineering): DPA is a Dutch-listed professional secondment and recruitment firm placing technical and specialist professionals on project basis at government and enterprise clients, directly comparable to HubSub's KVM and VTH detachering operations.
• HeadFirst Select: HeadFirst is a Dutch secondment and managed-services provider focused on interim and project-based professionals. It is comparable in scale and Dutch-market orientation to HubSub's candidate-choice detachering model.

Broad incumbents

• Randstad Nederland: Randstad is the dominant Dutch/international staffing incumbent with generalist and specialty coverage across all verticals. It is not a direct niche competitor but caps HubSub's pricing power and candidate access in safety and inspection roles.
• USG People (Recruit Holdings): USG People is one of the largest Dutch staffing brands covering clerical, technical, and professional segments. It overlaps with HubSub on government and technical staffing but at much broader scale.

Others

• Krinkels / Croonwolter&Dros (as client-channel partners): These are existing HubSub clients and large Dutch infrastructure/maintenance contractors, included as ecosystem comparables rather than direct staffing competitors; they signal the type of enterprise buyer that anchors HubSub's pipeline.
