Competentis

Competentis is a Dutch recruitment and detachering agency based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, specialising in placing experienced professionals in meaningful roles within education, publiek domein (public sector) and information technology within government organisations. The company places teachers and educational professionals, beleidsmedewerkers (policy advisors), HR and P&O professionals, social sector specialists, and IT specialists including infrastructure managers, data professionals and IT project managers across Dutch schools, municipalities and public organisations.

The firm's approach centres on professional security and development, recognising that professionals seek meaningful work, transparent agreements and career progression opportunities. Competentis places staff directly into roles whilst employing them, providing employment security including sickness pay, VAB (care days), competitive salaries with transparent grading, holiday pay, pension arrangements and comprehensive employment insurance. The company emphasises personal consultant support and genuine engagement with both candidates and employers, building understanding of individual capabilities and organisational needs to enable effective long-term placements.

Operating from Rotterdam with two office locations, Competentis serves education, public administration and government IT sectors throughout the Netherlands. The company's philosophy reflects belief that detachering represents conscious career choice rather than temporary solution, positioning it as route to professional development, meaningful impact and secure employment within sectors addressing societal needs.
