Hesko

HESKO is a bemiddeling company that matches zzp'ers with opdrachtgevers in the bouw. Tradespeople register free of charge and without obligation, filling in a profile with their vakgebied, region and availability, after which the team pairs them with suitable assignments and actively thinks along with them. Once an assignment is agreed, work starts straight away and HESKO handles the administration. Employers take the other route: they post an opdracht and receive qualified candidates within 48 hours. The site reports more than 150 active assignments, over 500 registered zzp'ers and coverage of more than 30 bouwvakken.

Construction is the sole specialisation, and HESKO bemiddelt in all the significant building trades. The vakgebieden set out on the site include metselaars for every kind of building project, timmerlieden for both ruwbouw and afbouw, metal stud monteurs specialising in metal stud constructions and dakdekkers for all roof types, with further trades listed alongside those four. Assignments and tradespeople can both be searched by specialisation or by region.

HESKO offers landelijke dekking, with assignments throughout the Netherlands in a tradesperson's own branche. The company promises personal guidance with a fixed point of contact rather than forms disappearing into thin air, placement in an average of five working days and an honest rate that is transparent about costs with no hidden fees. A five star review on the site comes from Jan de Vries, a timmerman from Utrecht, who was placed on a carpentry assignment within a week and called the service professional, honest and fast. The whole route is presented in three plain steps, register, receive matches and start work, and the company also publishes a blog with ZZP news, assignments and advice.
