Work Coach Connect

Work Coach Connect is a detacheringsbureau based in Nijmegen that specialises in werving, selectie en detachering, the recruitment, selection and secondment of candidates who have a distance to the labour market. The company leads with two services on its homepage, social recruitment and detachering, and sums up its purpose as helping employers find the right employee. It combines personal attention and intensive support with many years of experience in matching candidates and employers, a combination it describes as its own success formula. Its method is set out as a fixed sequence of steps: an introductory meeting, analysing the CV, approaching companies, preparing for the interview, the application itself and then the start of a new employee. The website is split into a route for werkgevers, employers, and one for werkzoekenden, jobseekers, with a separate vacancies page.

Work Coach Connect defines its specialism by the group it places rather than by a single industry. It works with candidates from the doelgroep, people who face a distance to the labour market, and with employers who want to give positive shape to their responsibilities under the Participatiewet. To make those placements work it collaborates with schools, institutions, jobcoach offices, the municipality and UWV, the Dutch employee insurance agency. The company states that it delivers maatwerk, tailored solutions rather than an off the shelf service, and that its aim is a successful working relationship between candidates from this group and the employers who take them on.

Work Coach Connect operates from Kerkenbos 1020B in Nijmegen, in the Netherlands. The company can be reached by email at [email protected], on (024) 845 05 66 or on the mobile number +31 6 28 34 62 45, and the site carries a contact form for questions about its services. Employers work with Work Coach Connect for the combination it puts forward: intensive one to one support, long standing matching experience, and a partner that makes Participatiewet hiring practical.
