2Uitzendbureau

2 Uitzendbureau is a personal uitzendbureau for Noord and Noordoost Nederland, based in Veendam in the province of Groningen. The company is run by its two owners, Richard Brinks and Michel Torenbosch, and its promise to both jobseekers and employers is that you always deal directly with someone who genuinely knows the region. It sums up its way of working in four commitments: korte lijnen, meaning direct contact without bureaucracy or intermediaries; heldere afspraken, meaning transparency about expectations, processes and rates with no surprises afterwards; a personal approach, so that a candidate is known rather than numbered; and continued involvement after a placement is made, because it aims for durable matches.

The business offers four services. Uitzenden covers flexible staff for whom 2 Uitzendbureau is the legal employer, werving en selectie finds the right candidate for a permanent position, and the company also arranges stagiaires for businesses that want to offer a work placement and student bijbanen for flexible work. The two owners split the market between them. Richard Brinks has extensive expertise in the industrial and technical labour market with a strong personal network across Noord and Noordoost Nederland, and focuses on matching technical talent to the right employer with an eye for the person behind the CV. Michel Torenbosch is the specialist for the commercial and administrative segment, covering commercial, administrative and secretarial roles at MBO and HBO level, drawing on his background in the office segment.

2 Uitzendbureau helps people find work in Veendam, Emmen, Assen and Groningen, and works with employers who need temporary staff, a permanent hire or a placement student. Its quality position rests on three certifications it holds: membership of the NBBU, the Nederlandse Bond van Bemiddelings en Uitzendondernemingen, which sets strict quality requirements for fair and safe work; the SNA keurmerk from Stichting Normering Arbeid, which confirms correct handling of payroll taxes and contributions; and VCU, the VCA standard for uitzendorganisaties, which evidences safe and responsible working in sectors with raised safety risks. The office is at Langeleegte 5C in Veendam, on 0598 47 08 22 and at [email protected].
