Flexmakers

Flexmakers is a locally-focused staffing agency based in Lochem, Gelderland, operating within a 25-kilometre radius and serving production, technical, and logistics sectors across eastern Netherlands. Founded by Mayke Kettelerij and Frank Brummel, the agency operates with the philosophy that finding the right fit is 'mensenwerk' (people work), requiring genuine conversation and understanding beyond the CV. Flexmakers places workers in production roles (productiemedewerkers, operators, sprayers), technical trades (houtbewerking, metalwork, electrical installation), and logistics positions (orderpickers, warehouse workers, forklift drivers).

The agency emphasises personal relationships over volume. Clients meet the full team at Flexmakers' office in Lochem, speaking directly with Mayke, Frank, Leontien Silfhout (intercedent), and Tom Zweers (account manager). The team knows local employers, understands regional job market dynamics, and matches candidates based on career ambition and personal circumstances rather than templated criteria. Flexmakers offers direct contact, quick response times, and flexible hiring including temp-to-perm arrangements.

The company serves manufacturers, logistics facilities, and technical operations throughout the Achterhoek and Liemers regions of Gelderland, helping businesses in manufacturing-dependent communities find reliable long-term workers.
