Giant occupies an increasingly prominent place in our toolbox
HeadFirst Group collaborates with Intelligence Group in writing quarterly reports on developments in the permanent and flexible labor market; the Talent Monitor. In addition, the organizations exchange data on fixed and flex. HeadFirst also works with Giant, including the new Fixed and Flex feature.
The Permanent and Flex dashboard provides insight into flexible workers and compares them to permanent employees. This allows the user to formulate a Total Talent Acquistion strategy in minutes. The new dashboard compares recruitment feasibility; monthly salary/hourly rate; key pull factors and flex/zzp market share.
Why is HeadFirst using Giant and the new Fixed and Flex feature?
Bart van der Geest, Head of Marketing and Communications at HeadFirst Group, explains, "We have been working with Giant for about six months now. We are originally a service provider in the professionals segment in the flexible labor market, but within the group we have now also had solutions for permanent employment for years. We offer Total Talent Acquisition (TTA). At the same time, we are moving from a specialist in recruitment and compliance to a strategic partner where we really want to be a data-driven consultant for our clients. In both developments Giant fits perfectly.'
HeadFirst Group uses Giant for its own internal HR strategy, but also to better serve clients. 'We are moving from a specialist in recruitment and compliance to a strategic partner where we really are a data-driven consultant for our clients. We combine our large amount of proprietary data with external data from Intelligence Group, which allows us to offer unique insights that others cannot. We bring this to existing clients, but our bid management department also uses this data to concretely substantiate tenders and offers in tender processes.'
Van der Geest also relates the use of Giant to the purpose of HeadFirst Group: 'join the next world of work'. He sees three developments on the way to that new world of work: supply and demand will come together more online, work will take place more regardless of contract form (fixed or flex) and the labor market will become more inclusive, without prejudice. Intelligence Group's data helps, according to the marketer, because it provides more insights into the first development (online supply and demand) and enables fixed-flex movements in the market.
"We are moving from a specialist in recruitment and compliance to a strategic partner where we really are a data-driven consultant to our clients."

Was it useful?
When recruiting new talent for HeadFirst Group itself, Giant helps determine which job boards and target-specific sites the target group uses, and which pull factors play a role, so HR colleagues can hone in on the job postings. "I found it very interesting to see what expectations the target group has of the whole job posting process, how many interviews they want, what feedback, so that we can formulate our recruitment process even better.
Van der Geest estimates that within HeadFirst about 10-15 people use the dashboard and that that number will grow. 'Giant is taking an increasingly prominent place within our toolbox.'

The list is published annually by Flexmarkt in cooperation with Corporate Finance International (CFI). In terms of turnover, it covers more than half of the total Dutch flex industry and thus provides a clear, representative picture of developments in the market.

Marion van Happen, CEO at HeadFirst Group: "We had a successful year in all areas.

And finally, as an employer, we were rated as a Great Place to Work."
Digital transformation
HeadFirst Group also aims to grow in 2023 through the combination of successful service delivery to its clients - both clients, suppliers and independent professionals - and targeted acquisitions that add value to the group.

HeadFirst Group organizes knowledge session for SGP parliamentary party
HeadFirst Group organizes knowledge session for SGP parliamentary party
On Thursday, March 16, HeadFirst Group, in cooperation with our partner ONL voor Ondernemers, organized a knowledge session for the SGP parliamentary party. On behalf of the SGP, Chris Stoffer (MP) and Arnold van Huizen (policy officer) were present. In the past, HeadFirst Group has organized more knowledge sessions for MPs and policy officers. During the knowledge sessions we reflect on the services of HeadFirst Group and what role and added value an HR service provider has in the (flexible) labor market. In addition, we take the MPs and policy officers into relevant developments in the labor market regarding the zzp-dossier and which challenges and bottlenecks we experience in legislation and regulations. Besides a HeadFirst Group delegation, an independent professional and a representative of one of our clients were also present. They gave a short presentation on why they use our services as client and contractor and where the added value of HeadFirst Group lies for them.
All in all, it was a very successful session and we were able to provide the SGP Parliamentary Group with the necessary information and knowledge. We would like to thank our cooperation partner ONL voor Ondernemers for their hospitality and the attendees for their sharp questions and the discussion we had. Through this type of knowledge session, we try to put ourselves in the limelight as a professional discussion partner and make a valuable contribution to the labor market and self-employed workers file.
If you have any questions about our knowledge sessions as a result of this post, please contact Sem Overduin, Public Affairs Officer at HeadFirst Group. Sem can be reached at Sem.Overduin@headfirst.nl
HeadFirst Group expands collaboration with insurtech Alicia for self-employed workers in Belgium
HeadFirst Group brings its partnership with insurtech Alicia, specializing in embedded insurance for self-employed workers, to Belgium. The HR-tech service provider thus takes another important step in its further reaching strategy towards an international platform organization. Florine Onderwijzer, Managing Director Professionals & Partners services at HeadFirst Group: "Thanks to our solution, self-employed people in Belgium can now also start an assignment quickly and properly insured. "
Unburdening zzp'ers
The partnership builds on the ambition to offer support to professionals. Not only in finding challenging assignments, but also in optimizing their own business operations and making them as simple as possible. According to Marijn Moerman, CEO and co-founder of Alicia, this also includes taking care of the right insurances: "In addition to the flexibilization trend in the Netherlands, the number of freelancers in Belgium also continues to rise: last year by 7 percent to almost 200,000. At the same time, insurance coverage is declining. Zzp'ers are insufficiently familiar with the risks and finding appropriate insurance is a considerable search."
That, according to Onderwijzer, is exactly where Alicia makes a difference. "Together we have developed a scalable process for offering high-quality insurance products. Thanks to full digitization, there is more time for personal contact when it matters and we are also able to offer more comprehensive support to self-employed people outside our own borders. This next step in our cooperation thus fits perfectly with our international ambitions for our services for professionals."
On-demand and embedded solutions
In early 2022, HeadFirst Group and its platform Select joined forces with Alicia. It offers embedded solutions for relevant insurance and services that are made available in an integrated way through connected platforms using APIs.
All zzp'ers who are provided with assignments through HeadFirst Group can insure themselves for numerous topics at once, as part of the total package of services that HeadFirst Group has offered for years. "Our goal is to put together the most ideal package of services that professionals primarily need to be entrepreneurs and be able to focus fully on their core business. Through the collective purchasing advantage, self-employed people get attractive and flexible products at a lower price than if everything is purchased separately from different service providers."
HeadFirst Group on its turning point to platformization
In conversation with Simone Groeneveld and Bart van der Geest
To rank second in the Flexmarkt Turnover Ranking Top-100, the prestigious ranking of the hundred largest flex companies in the Netherlands, for the third year in a row, and still remain agile. How do you do that? We sat down with Simone Groeneveld, Managing Director MSP services, and Bart van der Geest, Head of Marketing and Communications at HeadFirst Group. We talk about the road to a platform organization, their vision for tech and touch, ambitions and growth. What makes them so successful?
With revenues of over 2.2 billion euros, HeadFirst Group is the strongest grower in the MSP and Intermediary segment. HeadFirst Group is a leading, international full-service HR-tech service provider and specialist in the professional organization of permanent and flexible labor. With a diversity of HR solutions and its platform, they offer total talent solutions. Bart indicates: "We have achieved this growth in part because we have moved from traditional job placement to being able to offer a diversity of solutions, of which MSP is a leading one."
We move as a speedboat between big corporate steamers, where we can really make speed."
Simone explains further, "We have chosen to be a platform organization. Originally, we are not. We are in the middle of a very cool turning point because of the high level of digitalization and the strategic choice to become a platform company. I myself chose HeadFirst Group because we are agile. We move like a speedboat between big corporate steamers, where we can really pick up speed. With a focus on talent. Employing talent as well as possible should be a celebration and this should be serviced as well as possible!"
Tech and touch
What can you do digitally and what do humans do? Where in the process do you choose to have personal contact and when do you let tech work for you? Bart says they are looking for the ideal balance between tech and touch. "We are in a transition from traditional employment intermediary to a platform company. In much of our existing services, 'touch' will always be important. Take our MSP services, but also the partnerships with our suppliers. We see that customers appreciate this. A new part of our services is organized around our online platform Striive, where supply and demand find each other directly and the goal is to make the process end-to-end as digital as possible. If you look sec at the definition of a platform, there is often no "human" involved at all. That will never be the case with us, because we also keep adding 'touch' at the moments when it adds value to the customer journey. When you look at other markets in which platforms move between supply and demand, you see a number of disruptors that have changed the market overnight. But that's more appropriate in the business-to-consumer market, like renting a cab ride or house. In the world of labor, that's going to be a little more steady."
Simone adds: "We want a customer journey that is tech driven as much as possible, because it is ideal for our clients to do things partly online and automated, but that there are also parts of the process where we consciously employ people and take care of them. Think of invoicing and contracting, as well as advising professionals and clients. Where we were previously an HR service provider with tech components, we are now an HR tech service provider. That's where the difference is."
Platform Striive
On the side of independent professionals and suppliers, HeadFirst Group has been working primarily digitally for some time. In its online environment Select move professionals and suppliers for over a decade. Here, a professional can be found by HeadFirst Group recruiters and bid on assignments from hundreds of clients themselves. Transparent and without extra links. Bart says that HeadFirst Group - with its Striive brand - has now also taken the step towards platformization on the client side. "You could say that we were ahead of our time with professionals and suppliers. There is a lot to gain in the steps we will now take for clients. Where we come from helps us make this step."
Ambition
HeadFirst Group's ambition is to double in revenue between now and 2025, but to get there they have therefore had to change their organizational model, Bart points out. "We are already fairly scalable, because we are quite far along when it comes to digitalization, but at the same time we can really take further steps in that. We're in the middle of a transition to an even more scalable organization, because in terms of vision, we foresee that that's where added value lies for the type of company we are."
It is important that as employers we are challenged on our creativity. Rethinking and thinking outside the box of what we have always done. For example, think about looking at skills rather than just an education. Parties and individuals who dare to do that keep themselves in the game and remain agile."
Winning Party
That transition is really necessary, Simone points out. Especially when you consider the tightness in the labor market. "To me, talent is anyone who moves around the labor market. You are a winner if you know how to bring parties together. With that, I see the need increasing when it comes to independence, such as being independent from an employer and freedom in how you can organize your work. This also means that there is still a great need for flexible employment. But uncertain times often also make people want permanent employment again. We are a party that deals with the deployment of talent and it doesn't matter in what form of work. It shouldn't matter. And we want to connect that with tech. How do you make clever use of data and algorithms in this? What role does talent pooling play in this? If you work with HeadFirst Group soon, we will be able to get the best talent out of the market."
Not just the transaction is the focus
According to Simone, that goes beyond just bringing supply and demand together. "How are we going to ensure that we also properly support you as a self-employed person with, for example, training and insurance? Not only the transaction is central, but also providing a platform where you can meet and develop yourself. And by the way, we also make sure you have cool jobs, because we work with parties in the Netherlands that also have the coolest assignments."
Sense of urgency
The talent market is unpredictable and, according to Simone, we still don't understand the sense of urgency of the talent shortage. "We all shout it, only we don't really feel it yet. Doing critical jobs remotely is something organizations find difficult, especially with IT jobs, for example. If that's still an issue you're struggling with, you're really going to have to do things differently. It's important that we as employers are challenged on our creativity. Thinking around and thinking outside the box of what we've always done. For example, think about looking at skills rather than just an education. Parties and individuals who dare to do that keep themselves in the game and remain agile."
"When we look very factually at the data of the labor market and how scarce it is now, but also look at the aging population towards 2030, the labor market is not going to be any different than it is now and it is only going to get tighter. Especially when the workload gets higher and people drop out, the risk spiral is only bigger," Bart points out.
Recruitment marketing automation
A crucial element in what makes you agile as an organization, Simone sees in defining your talent strategy. She partnered with UP for the MSP label Staffing MS because she believes you need to roll out your sourcing and talent strategy in a different way. "I advocate RMA (Recruitment Marketing Automation), because it allows you to build a continuous pipeline and make things transparent. We're also in a competitive market to recruit internally. But we want to be "on" and always engaging with talent. With RMA, we know how to find and entice another target group than we do now. I believe this is a necessary part of your talent strategy. How do you continuously stay in view of your target group? You have to structurally seek that market and be visible, in order to gain insight into the behavior of your target group so that you can follow up much more efficiently. You let RMA technology work for you, allowing you to focus on other things." In conclusion, Bart points out: "It would be crazy that when we digitize more and more on the service provider side, we don't do this in the employee journey. Ideally, we would have done this two years ago and been prepared, but now we're doing it fast and well!"

HeadFirst Group's HR tech company ProUnity wins comprehensive framework agreement with Smals for external hiring in Belgium
The ICT services organization of Belgian public institutions Smals awards the framework agreement for finding and managing external ICT professionals to ProUnity, the Belgian HR technology company that is part of HeadFirst Group. The framework agreement is effective January 1, 2023 and has a term of four years. Simone Groeneveld, Director MSP services at HeadFirst Group: "This offers great opportunities for freelancers and secondment companies in the Benelux to offer their knowledge to dozens of Belgian government organizations."
"Belgian governments are investing heavily in technology and innovation, with a view to providing better services to citizens and businesses. To support this, Smals will be looking for some 400 new employees this year. At the same time, we are supplementing our projects and services with temporary ICT expertise. With ProUnity we give a large group of professionals a gateway to work on challenging assignments, in all kinds of domains, with equal opportunities for everyone," explains Donald De Keyser, Management Controller at Smals.

Current users include the Federal Parliament, the federal government departments of Finance, Justice, Interior and Development Cooperation, the Walloon government, as well as Sciensano, RIZIV, RVA, Forem, Actiris, the Federal Police and the Center for Cyber Security.
ProUnity makes access to these assignments quick and easy for a range of professionals, self-employed and employed by secondment companies, in the Benelux. Smart use of the combination of its comprehensive marketplace and VMS platform allows them to deploy their talent to Smals and its members. The ProUnity platform monitors the entire collaboration, from the publication of new assignments and the management of contracts and time registration to reporting and invoicing, in strict compliance with Belgian tax and social legislation.
"ProUnity is an innovative tech company, with a sense of personal touch. This perfect balance between tech and touch is essential in our service and industry," explains Simone Groeneveld. "When we welcomed ProUnity into our group in July 2022, we knew they were capable of this kind of commercial success. A big compliment to the ProUnity team. This is an important step in our further reaching strategy towards an international platform organization."
