Ontzorgd

Ontzorgd is a Dutch ZZP (freelancer and self-employed professional) placement and staffing company founded by three friends from Woudrichem who recognised growing uncertainty in the self-employed labour market. The company specialises in connecting independent contractors and freelancers with project-based work opportunities across construction, technology, infrastructure, logistics, and office sectors. Their model is built around understanding the unique needs of self-employed workers and organisations hiring them, particularly following regulatory tightening around the Dutch DBA law (Deregulering Beoordeling Arbeidsrelatie).

Ontzorgd places freelancers in roles including groundworkers, construction specialists, electricians, material handlers, and equipment operators. The firm positions itself as a partner offering clarity and peace of mind ('ontzorging' means removing worries) for both freelancers seeking sustainable work and employers requiring flexible capacity. The company provides DBA advisory services, helping both parties navigate the increasingly strict regulatory environment around self-employed contracting. Ontzorgd aims to match talent with opportunities within 48 hours and offers transparent, straightforward engagement.

The firm emphasises that they understand the realities of self-employed work from operational experience. Rather than operating as a marketplace, Ontzorgd provides active matching and personal support to both freelancers and hiring managers, ensuring role fit and clear expectations. The company was founded in response to market need and operates with genuine commitment to protecting both parties' interests within the tightening regulatory context.
