Uitzendbureau (temporary staffing agency)

An Uitzendbureau is a staffing agency that specialises in matching job seekers with companies looking to fill temporary or permanent positions. They handle tasks such as recruiting, interviewing, and placing candidates in suitable roles. The agency offers guidance on job opportunities, helps with application processes, and sometimes provides additional support like CV writing or career advice.

Payroller (payroll service providers)

A payroller in the Netherlands is a company that manages payroll services for other businesses. If you work through a payroller, they handle all aspects of your salary, taxes, and benefits. Here’s how it works: when you get a job with a company that uses a payroller, you are technically employed by the payroller, not directly by the company where you work. The payroller takes care of calculating your wages, deducting taxes and social security contributions, and ensuring you receive your pay on time. They also manage other administrative tasks like vacation pay and sick leave.

Detacheringsbureau (secondment agency)

A detacheringsbureau (secondment agency) specialises in hiring employees and then assigning them to work for other companies. Unlike a traditional staffing agency, which may place you in a temporary job, a detacheringsbureau employs you directly and then "detaches" you to work at various client companies for a specific period. This means the agency acts as your employer but you work on-site at different companies, gaining diverse experience and skills. The agency handles your salary, benefits, and employment paperwork, while you benefit from exposure to different work environments and potential career opportunities.

Werving en selectie (recruitment & selection)

Werving (Recruitment): Companies seek out potential candidates through job ads, resume searches, and other tools to build a pool of qualified individuals.

Selectie (Selection): The best candidates are then evaluated through application reviews, interviews, and sometimes tests to choose the ideal fit for the position.
