It could be the perfect solution for companies struggling to find technical staff: Intro EU Staffing. The sister company of Intro Personeel has been successfully matching European workers with job opportunities. “It’s a solution that many companies don’t consider.”
Bram Valkenburg, manager of Intro EU Staffing, is the go-to person for companies to ask why they should consider hiring European personnel. He has had his finger on the pulse of the labor market for years. “The job market is currently very tight. With Intro EU Staffing, we can be of great help. Dutch-speaking technicians often need to be trained from scratch because experienced people are hardly available. Those who consider hiring European staff are making a smart choice. There’s plenty of labor potential, as a large group of people is already working in the Netherlands and other EU countries outside their own homeland. Employers can benefit from that. These candidates are experienced and immediately available for vacant positions.”
Experienced technicians
Intro EU Staffing primarily places people in the technical sector. “Usually experienced technicians from Romania or Hungary, but also people from Spain, Portugal, Ukraine, or the Baltic states. One of our strengths is the placement of technicians and operators from these countries. So, if your company is looking for someone for a hard-to-fill position, you should definitely get in touch.”
Bram doesn’t work alone. Together with his colleagues Sjaco, Nijs-Jan, and Zsofia, he recruits personnel. “We really add value and are a reliable partner. What sets us apart is how we treat candidates, clients, and colleagues. Take, for example, housing. The standard that the market and housing providers will have to meet in 2027 has been our goal and standard for years. We provide calm and sustainable living arrangements, with minimal turnover and everyone having their own private room.”
Reliable partner
A great example of a successful placement is a technician Bram recently placed at a company in the Alblasserwaard region. “That technician had to return to his home country this summer for personal reasons, but he recently came back to work for one of our clients.” According to Bram, the fact that these workers return for the long term is understandable. “These workers come back because they are treated well here. That means good work in good conditions. This allows them to take care of their families back home.”
For employers, this also has clear advantages, says Bram. “These are workers who are happy to return because they are treated well by the employer. There’s a safe work environment, it’s sustainable, and the work is well-paid.”
Intro EU Staffing can help companies find the right people, says Bram. “We make the right match. A worker needs to fit with a company. For companies, we want to be a reliable partner and treat our candidates, who are looking for work, in a personal and humane way.”
