Magic Match Bv

What Magic Match Bv does

Magic Match Bv is a Dutch private limited company headquartered in Almere that operates a healthcare staffing and matching platform connecting qualified healthcare professionals (nursing assistants, social workers, mental health counselors, disability caregivers) with care organizations across the Netherlands. Founded circa 2018 (with eight-plus years of operating experience claimed), the company has grown to a network of 1,500+ professionals and 200+ care locations spanning elderly care (VVT), mental health (GGZ), disability care (GHZ), social work, and youth care sectors, with active operations across most Dutch provinces including Randstad, Drenthe, Overijssel, Gelderland, Zeeland, and Zuid-Limburg.

The platform is structured around three interconnected offerings. The core 'Magic Match Platform' is a relationship-driven matching service in which professionals self-register through an online portal (magicmatch.bendy.nl), undergo a personal intake conversation with one of a small named team of dedicated recruiters (Delali, Noël, Charelle, Hailey, Martine), and are then placed or detached to organizations on either a short-term shift or long-term assignment basis. 'Magic Match Academy' is an integrated training arm providing certifications in nursing skills, BHV (safety officer), medication safety, and aggression management, which both develops existing staff and supplies a pipeline of newly qualified candidates. 'Sociaal Beheer' (Social Management) is a separate managed-services line in which Magic Match operates municipal facilities on behalf of Dutch local governments, including asylum seeker reception (Alnovum, Almere — 450 residents; moored ships at Werkhaven, Huizen) and social welfare sites (Philipslocatie, Hilversum — 400 residents; SGL, Lelystad).

The business model is primarily a Dutch healthcare staffing/detachment agency (transaction fee on the margin between CAO-regulated gross salaries paid to professionals and billings to client organizations), supplemented by managed-services revenue from municipal facility management contracts. Pricing is governed entirely by applicable collective labor agreements (CAO VVT, GHZ, GGZ, Social Work), with documented monthly gross salary bands ranging from €2,337 (support care worker) to €5,216 (experienced personal counselor), plus a referral/ambassador bonus program and an in-house marketing function. Distribution is direct-sales-led with event-driven recruitment, and the company maintains GDPR-compliant data handling. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or acquisitions in the available source material.
