Abeos

Abeos Uitzendbureau is a Dutch staffing agency that finds work for people who want to get on with the job, summed up on its own site as geen gedoe, gewoon werken. Every day more than 2500 people are at work through Abeos, placed with a large number of national and regional opdrachtgevers. The agency keeps at least 200 vacancies online at any time and invites jobseekers to schrijf je in so that its consultants can look for a job on their behalf. Assignments run from temporary uitzenden work through to vaste banen, and separate logins exist for uitzendkrachten and gedetacheerden as well as for opdrachtgevers, bemiddelaars and office staff. Abeos also runs its own training arm, the Abeos Vakschool, so candidates who lack the right diploma or certificate can be reschooled or upskilled, and it operates an Abeos Student programme. The site is published in Dutch and Polish.

The agency is organised around vakgebieden rather than job titles. It advertises vacancies in industrie, logistiek, groen, food, milieu en energie, veterinair, bouw, agribusiness en life science, grond, weg- en waterbouw, and tuin- en akkerbouw, plus seasonal vakantiewerk. Recent postings show the range in practice, from a trekkerchauffeur working in groen- en bermbeheer to a paraveterinair for a small independent veterinary practice.

Abeos works across the north and centre of the Netherlands, with vacancies grouped by area including Drenthe, Flevoland, Gelderland, Groningen, Overijssel, Utrecht and Friesland, and it says there is always a vestiging nearby. Its postal address is Postbus 300, 7400 AH Deventer. Employers and candidates are offered de 5 zekerheden van Abeos Uitzendbureau, a set of guarantees the agency says you can count on, backed by quality assurance information, published bedrijfsgegevens and testimonials from the people and topwerkgevers it works with.
