Amsterdam65Plus Uitzendbureau

Amsterdam65plus Uitzendbureau is a Dutch uitzendbureau in Amsterdam that advises on and arranges placements between people aged 65 and over and employers who want to hire them. The company calls itself hét uitzendbureau voor 65-plussers in Amsterdam and frames its case around a simple argument: taking on a worker of 65 or older as an uitzendkracht brings a great deal of knowledge and experience together with a strong work ethic. It handles both sides of that transaction, registering older candidates who want to keep working and taking vacancy requests from employers who need flexible cover.

The company is not tied to one industry. It states that its pool of uitzendkrachten is a cross section of society, running from practically trained workers through to people educated to university level, and that it helps businesses deploy motivated temporary staff across many different vakgebieden. Alongside placement it publishes guidance on the employment law questions that arise with older workers, covering the arbeidsovereenkomst with an AOW entitled employee, the Wet werken na de AOW, tarieven, and the corporate social responsibility case for hiring over 65s. Advice and bemiddeling are offered free and without obligation, so an employer can understand the options before deciding whether to keep or take on staff past state pension age.

The company works in and around Amsterdam and argues that many employers now want a broad, flexible workforce layer to keep staffing costs under control. Its stated reasons for choosing older workers are that they are flexibly deployable, highly motivated, have years of experience, and are cheaper to engage than regular personnel. For candidates the pitch is financial as well as practical: someone working after 65 no longer pays social insurance contributions and therefore keeps more of their pay, and registering brings new vacancies by email.
