HeadFirst Group strongest grower among MSPs and intermediaries in Flex Market Turnover Ranking Top-100 2022

HeadFirst Group ranks second on the Flexmarkt Turnover Ranking Top-100 2022, the prestigious ranking of the hundred largest flex companies in the Netherlands based on their turnover in 2021. With revenues of over 1,547.0* billion euros, the HR service provider is even the FlexTopGrowers in the 'MSPs and intermediaries' segment.

Driven by an improving economy, the need for digitalization and further flexibilization of the labor market, the demand for professionals rose to great heights in 2021: HeadFirst Group received a record number of assignments (23,263) to match candidates. The organization managed to fill these successfully. A record number of 26,938 professionals worked through HeadFirst Group at some point in 2021.

Marion van Happen, CEO HeadFirst Group, explains, "2021 was a year of connecting people. This was mainly because our core business of connecting professionals with wonderful clients was running at full speed. The year was also marked by the integration of Between Staffing Group - acquired in late 2020 - and HeadFirst Group. In addition, we launched our partnership with recruitment specialist Sterksen. This move has made us a unique one-stop shop for Total Talent Management (TTM) solutions, offering a solution for every staffing need."

Creativity required by scarcity

Developments in 2021 have been demonstrably successful. Existing large master contracts were renewed with NS, CAK, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment and the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, among others. In addition, several new European tendering procedures and tender processes were won with Action, Airbus, Alliander, the Financial Markets Authority (AFM) and the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA).

For these and hundreds of other clients, HeadFirst Group notices that all the sails have to be pulled, because it too is facing a challenging market with major shortages - permanent and flex - of personnel. Van Happen: "That's why we have to be more creative than ever and find talent in new places. For example, we recruit talent from abroad or from traditionally underrepresented talent pools. We also let professionals work for our clients completely remotely from another country and train professionals for positions that are and will remain scarce. We make every effort to make the best possible use of all available labor potential."

 

Leading international platform

Meanwhile, HeadFirst Group continues to focus on strengthening the foundation of the organization. "To improve the user experience of our online platform, we are developing a new front-end. We are also applying the Lean philosophy to streamline and simplify our processes, making them more attractive to our clients and employees. We have established a Growth Board to work on product innovation, with the primary focus on a new smart matching solution for the mid-market segment. All these steps will help us achieve our main goal: to be the leading international platform in the labor market by 2025," Van Happen concluded.

 

* In the Flexmarkt Turnover Ranking Top-100, HeadFirst Group shows a turnover of 1,627.0 billion euros. This is the turnover including a part of 2020, calculated because of the extended financial year of HFBG Holding B.V. The correct turnover of HeadFirst Group for 2021 is 1,547.0 billion euros.

 

About Flexmarkt Turnover Ranking Top-100

The Flexmarkt Turnover Ranking Top-100 is published annually by Flexmarkt in cooperation with Corporate Finance International (CFI). The Turnover Ranking provides an overview of flex companies, from small to large, with diverse forms of services in staffing and hiring. In addition to staffing agencies, it includes numerous payroll companies, as well as secondment companies, zzp intermediaries and MSP service providers. This leading ranking covers more than half of the total Dutch flex industry in terms of turnover and thus provides a clear, representative picture of developments in the market.


HeadFirst Group supports The Work Association

As of May 2022, HeadFirst Group has joined The Work Association as a mini associate. The parties find each other in the search for a labor market where flexibility and self-employment go hand in hand with collective security, solidarity and protection for the individual who needs it.

Interests within the labor market debate
More and more people want control over their own working lives. The current organization of the labor market and the conservative rules in labor law do not sufficiently address this and do not offer flexibility. The labor market debate has been deadlocked for years, and as yet there is little clarity on important dossiers within this debate, such as the replacement of the DBA law and compulsory disability insurance for the self-employed. The Werkvereniging wants to change this, we support them in pushing for renewal and modernization.

Our contribution to the labor market debate
As the largest HR service provider, we feel it is our responsibility, in cooperation with industry associations and interest groups, to enter into discussions with politicians and policymakers and provide them with alternative ideas and proposals. We are happy to share the knowledge, experience and expertise we have about the flexible labor market with The Work Association, so that together we can strive for a rational and factual political-social debate about the labor market and the role of the self-employed in this labor market.

As a supporter of The Work Association, we stand up for your interests. If you would rather have your own voice heard, become a member of The Work Association for one year free of charge. You can then attend lectures and information meetings and you increase the chance of The Work Association getting a seat on the SER. You can register via this link.

About The Work Association
The Work Association is an interest platform for all working people with a new vision of the labor market. It is actively committed to a fundamental reform of the labor market and the social system. The goal is for all working people to be assured of the same basis of security that moves with their lives, their work and the choices they make therein. This requires a social system in which securities are linked to people rather than to their formal relationship to the labor market.


Simone Groeneveld appointed as Managing Director MSP services HeadFirst Group

Simone Groeneveld has been appointed Managing Director MSP services by HeadFirst Group, a market leader in HR services and platform for professionals. Simone joined Staffing Management Services, HeadFirst Group's primary Managed Service Provider, at the beginning of April. Under her leadership, Staffing MS will take the next step in its growth in the Benelux and beyond.

Simone Groeneveld has over twenty-five years of experience in HR services, both in MSP, RPO and staffing. For the last fifteen years she has held various management and executive positions, mainly with large international service providers, some of them from abroad. Simone on her new role: "There is a wonderful challenge to further develop MSP services - in combination with the total HeadFirst Group ecosystem of solutions. With respect and undiminished attention to the successfully built base of Staffing MS and current clients, we will continue to innovate towards Talent Solution Provider. I believe that setting up good processes, which we as MSP are already very good at, and careful talent management is a golden combination."

Next step in growth
HeadFirst Group already made changes at the top of the organization earlier this year with the arrival of Marion van Happen as CEO, giving Han Kolff room to focus even more on his role as chairman of the board. The growth strategy in Europe is his main pillar in this regard. In that light, the appointment of Simone Groeneveld is a logical step.

Marion van Happen: "With Simone we are bringing in a very experienced professional who is used to leading international and dynamic organizations. She knows what it is to roll up her sleeves - befitting the Rotterdam mentality of Staffing MS - and combines that with decisive leadership. At the hand of Simone - and with the inspired commitment of all colleagues - Staffing MS will take the next step of growth in the Benelux and the rest of Europe."

Han Kolff in 'The Open Talent Report Podcast' of CXC

The HR podcast of CXC explores all things open talent, direct sourcing, compliance and labor laws with industry experts. In each episode Connor speaks with CEOs, founders and experts from staffing, technology and legal sectors around the world. This week we are joined by CEO of HR services provider, Head First Group. Han has a deep knowledge of the staffing industry having spent 15 years in the fast moving goods industry (Heineken and Danone) before moving to work for Randstad for over 8 years.

On the podcast Connor and Han tackle the pressing questions in today's labor landscape from global labor shortages and remote working to the digitization of recruitment and automation. They also take a look into the glass at what may be in store for the future of work.

Key Points

Labour shortage/ Labour market paradox
There is always a paradox, there is always balance between the supply and demand in the workforce and technology is simply giving us more data and greater view of the mismatch making it seem like a bigger paradox than ever. Now that pandemic is hopefully lifting we are seeing a shift from where the demand side had previously had the power to more of a balance with the supply having more of say. Companies should change their perspective when hiring. For example in the IT space, if you are looking for a Java developer companies should look at if they need somebody who already has that skill set or if they can look at training a person up as a Java developer.

Is hiring anyone anywhere an area of growth?
In theory we can work remotely and cut jobs down into gigs so it is more concrete and easier to delegate a certain piece of work to somebody anywhere in the world. The issue comes with cooperation within companies which will slow down the adoption with global companies being able to adapt faster. Companies must also look at labor laws in different countries where they are engaging talent to ensure compliance.

The digitization of recruitment
There's two types of companies now, which are merging into trying to solve for everything. There's companies that come from more enterprise worlds, usually, they're more touch than tech. They have a bit more people supporting the product, they're not just a tech platform. Then there's companies that are more on the platform side like Upwork, maybe that's more gig related more shorter term projects and more instant. Sometimes they are more, b2c but they miss the touch part, to really sell into large enterprise clients. So if we look at it from the client side, they don't want only tech, they want a solution that encompasses technology and a personal touch.

Automation
I think that there is a lot more to be concerned about in his world, a lot more about climate and about food and other trends, than automation threatening the labor market. On the contrary automation can be a big opportunity and these bigger trends might influence how we as humans need to act and resolve things. But as we said when we started out, this labor market is so incredibly complex, and will need work everywhere, for a long period. So, this future where there's no work, it's very, very far out.

What would you do with a magic wand?
I think if I had a magic wand, I would want to have governments have a mindset of a more forward looking approach. They shouldn't stick to the past of a unionized world and a job or a specific labor market condition that needs to stay forever. If I look at many governments and many labor markets, a lot of them are trying to contain the power and the contract of the past, instead of creating a contract of the future that is less frictionless and actually gets more people to an income or a job. So it's all dependent on who has the power and then trying to protect what you have, instead I would appreciate if governments have a growth mindset.

About CXC
CXC enables companies to achieve a competitive advantage through managing contingent workforce quality, efficiency and risk, while reducing costs.

HeadFirst Group and ONL foundation for entrepreneurs pull together

HeadFirst Group and ONL voor Ondernemers are joining forces as of March 1. Last week Gert-Jan Schellingerhout, CEO HeadFirst Group, and Mike Korenvaar, CFO HeadFirst Group, signed the cooperation agreement together with ONL chairman Hans Biesheuvel. Both parties will act together for a fair flexible labor market in which hirers and providers of knowledge - and organizations that connect them - have room to do business. Monitoring and positively influencing labor market legislation, with the replacement of the Wet DBA in the lead, is a spearhead.

Getting lost in political Hague

ONL, located in the heart of The Hague and a stone's throw from the Binnenhof, as an independent foundation is the link between HeadFirst Group and politicians in The Hague. "Over the years, ONL has built a large network of politicians, civil servants and policy officers. The office in The Hague offers the opportunity to be 'close to the fire' and engage with policymakers. In addition, ONL provides political monitoring, so that we as an organization remain informed of relevant developments. A good next step in our public affairs and lobbying strategy," said Schellingerhout. "We also think we can add value to ONL with our knowledge, data and relationships with tens of thousands of clients, suppliers and the self-employed. Together we will work for the higher goal: to give entrepreneurs space."

About ONL for Entrepreneurs

ONL voor Ondernemers aims to make the Netherlands more entrepreneurial together. The entrepreneurs' organization makes the voice of the entrepreneur heard by lobbying, raising problems and proposing solutions for issues that affect entrepreneurs. ONL takes a critical stance against ramshackle legislation, such as the DBA Act and the Employment and Security Act, but not without presenting a well thought-out alternative that will benefit entrepreneurs.


New HeadFirst Group headquarters in Hoofddorp

HeadFirst Group makes the move to a new headquarters in Hoofddorp. This way we offer (new) colleagues and relations a special and optimal location to work and meet. The colorful building on Park 20|20 will be furnished to the latest standards for hybrid working and features a unique experience center for events.

According to Han Kolff, CEO HeadFirst Group, the former ANWB building at Taurusavenue 18 in Hoofddorp is a wonderful starting point to further realize the organization's ambitions as a team. "After great memories and tremendous growth at our current locations, we are moving to new premises. At this central, easily accessible location, we will build further to become Europe's largest labor market platform and provider of talent solutions in the professional segment."

New standard: hybrid working
Since 2020, we all think differently about hybrid working. For knowledge sharing, (team) meetings, induction of new colleagues, team work and personal meetings with colleagues and relations, we prefer to go to the office. For activities that require individual work and concentration, we prefer to work from home. The new location will provide excellent facilities for both, for example by equipping meeting rooms with the latest technology for remote meetings.

Kolff: "In designing the interior, we put our core values of 'Customer first,' 'Learn every day,' and 'Connecting people' at the center. We find it important to offer everyone an inspiring workplace, where connection is central. At the same time, we want to facilitate colleagues in an optimal work-life balance, with flexibility and autonomy. HeadFirst Group is no longer going back to a 5-day work week at the office." Additional benefits include facilities such as responsible food, excellent coffee and the opportunity to exercise. This makes the location a formidable competitor for the home office, according to Kolff.

Energy neutral
The building is completely energy-neutral, which fits perfectly with how HeadFirst Group wants to contribute to a better world of tomorrow. The location ensures that optimum use can be made of the power of the sun. There is enough daylight at any time of day, which is stimulating for HeadFirst Group employees. In addition, the location acts as a sustainable business card that introduces business relations to HeadFirst Group and its services in a special way.

Experience center
The building has a real eye catcher: the large, round theater. The high-tech interior with its semicircular projection screen is one of the largest in the world. "Besides being used by HeadFirst Group employees, it will be used in particular to receive external relations, such as freelancers, partners and clients. With possibility to work, meet and organize events. It promises to be a unique ecosystem of entrepreneurship," Kolff concludes.


HeadFirst Group boosts sustainable employability among self-employed with launch of Select Academy

HR services provider HeadFirst Group is launching an initiative to boost sustainable employability of independent professionals (zp'ers): Select Academy. With this it facilitates zp'ers in personal development and continuous learning. "The direction on development naturally remains with the entrepreneur, at the same time we take the responsibility to make 'lifelong learning' easily accessible," said Han Kolff, CEO at HeadFirst Group.

Sustainable employability
"Jobs are disappearing, processes are being automated and digitized and the required skills are changing rapidly. All the more important to invest as a worker in the targeted development of knowledge and skills in order to be able to continue to add value to a work or client on a continuous basis," Kolff professes.

People in self-employment who consciously choose entrepreneurship work significantly less on their sustainable employability compared to employees in permanent employment, according to a report commissioned by the Dutch Parliament on obstacles to lifelong development. People who are self-employed are intrinsically motivated to develop themselves, but they mainly rely on existing professional knowledge and experience and 'learning on the job'. Kolff: "Most self-employed people are highly educated and have extensive work experience which they use for projects. Development 'on the job' is what they do every day, that is where the basis is formed, but supplementing knowledge with education and training is necessary. With Select Academy we make personal development more attractive. Naturally, the control remains with the self-employed, they became entrepreneurs for a reason, but as a market-leading HR service provider, we consider it our task to make continuous learning as attractive as possible in order to send professionals forward to their next dream role."

Select Academy: 9,000+ substantive training courses
The training environment, realized by HeadFirst Group in exclusive cooperation with the continuous learning platform MyCademy, offers the most complete offering in the Netherlands: 9,000+ professional training courses from more than 120 'world leading' providers in the fields of IT, management and finance, among others. Professionals can take unlimited online courses, virtual labs and knowledge sessions in Select Academy at any time. In addition, they can test their knowledge by taking mock exams.

Select Academy has been made available for zp'ers, who use our Professionals services. From July 2021, the environment will also be ready for suppliers of HeadFirst Group, such as secondment and consultancy companies.

Professionals & Partners services
The subscription 'unlimited online learning' in Select Academy is one of the advantages of the Professionals & Partners services of HeadFirst Group. Besides the possibility to acquire challenging assignments through HeadFirst Group, freelancers and suppliers of professionals can use the services for administrative support, accelerated payment of invoices, group discount on various insurances and from now on more benefits in the field of personal development.

"This unique package of services forms a one-stop-shop for entrepreneurs, with which HeadFirst Group ensures that professionals can do business worry-free. In doing so, we actively contribute to our clients' 'being a good client' and collectively ensure that the best professionals want to work on an assignment with them," Kolff explains.

About HeadFirst Group
HeadFirst Group is a leading, international HR service provider and specialist in the professional organization of permanent and flexible labor. The organization offers a diversity of HR solutions: Managed Service Providing, Recruitment Process Outsourcing, intermediary services (matchmaking, contracting) and HR consultancy. An average of fifteen thousand professionals work daily for over four hundred clients in Europe, with which HeadFirst Group realizes an annual turnover of over 1.5 billion euros. The main brands of HeadFirst Group are the intermediaries HeadFirst and Between, MSP service provider Staffing Management Services and RPO and recruitment specialist Sterksen.

HeadFirst Group rocks at second spot in Flex Market Turnover Ranking Top-100 2021

HeadFirst Group is rock solid in second place in the Flexmarkt Turnover Ranking Top-100 2021 published last week. The prestigious ranking lists the hundred largest flex companies in the Netherlands based on their turnover in 2020. With revenues of over 1.5 billion euros, HeadFirst Group strengthens its position as the largest intermediary and MSP service provider in the Benelux and permanent Top 3 player in the overall flex market.

HeadFirst Group and Between Staffing Group, listed separately but part of HeadFirst Group since November 2020, achieved gross sales of 1.515 billion euros. A strong result, especially in an eventful year like 2020. Vincent van der Mark, CFO at HeadFirst Group: "The organizations achieved 2% organic revenue growth, in a year in which we were confronted with the coronavirus. That makes us incredibly proud. In 2019, we reached the €1 billion revenue milestone for the first time and have been steaming ahead strongly ever since. Due to our diverse portfolio of clients and strong presence in the niche of highly skilled professionals, including many IT professionals, the impact of the coronavirus has been limited."

Full service HR service provider
In 2020, HeadFirst Group made the transition to full service HR service provider by developing as an advisor to clients on recruitment and hiring issues. "We offer data-driven solutions to optimize and future-proof the recruitment process of personnel - flex and permanent," says Han Kolff, CEO at HeadFirst Group.

This has led to demonstrable success. Existing large master contracts have been extended and new European tender procedures won at, among others, Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, Ministry of Justice and Security, Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, Municipality of Schiedam and Leiden University Medical Center Leiden. "The new clients we have welcomed are great news for the independent professionals and suppliers in our network. All open assignments appear on Holland's largest assignment platform: Select.

HeadFirst Group adds leading RPO & recruitment specialist Sterksen to services

HeadFirst Group acquires recruitment service provider Sterksen. The market leader in the organization of external hiring takes the strategic step to full service HR service provider for temporary and permanent work. HeadFirst Group and Sterksen thus respond to the market trend that organizations organize the use of talent increasingly integrally - regardless of contract form.

Sterksen, founded in 2002, is big in Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), which means that a client outsources the recruitment process of new staff. It also offers services in recruitment, mediation for interim professionals and Managed Service Providing (MSP). Sterksen is a leading player in the IT & Technology segment.

Total Talent Management
With the acquisition of Sterksen, HeadFirst Group is responding to the market trend that companies increasingly manage personnel in an integrated way - regardless of contract form - known in technical jargon as Total Talent Management. It also responds to the increasing demand from clients for service providers with a broad portfolio of HR services.

CEO Han Kolff comments, "The trend of total talent management has been underway for some time and is continuing. The form of contract on the basis of which work takes place is becoming less and less relevant. The cooperation with Sterksen is therefore a logical step in the broadening of our services. Sterksen has a winning concept in recruiting top talent in IT & Technology; a dynamic, scarce and growing segment of the market. Sterksen's high touch recruitment expertise helps the group broaden and deepen the quality of our services, in addition to our focus on high tech with our platforms."

Sterksen remains independent
Sterksen will become an independent brand within HeadFirst Group, retaining its own identity. The current management will continue to run the organization. However, Sterksen and HeadFirst Group will join forces in various areas. Managing Director Donald Derksen explains: "The knowledge and experience in two areas - permanent and flex - will be bundled into a strong combination. Together we will advise and support clients with their issues at the intersection of recruitment and hiring. The size and leading market position of HeadFirst Group will help us open new doors, both nationally and internationally. In this way, HeadFirst Group will become the pushing force behind Sterksen."

International expansion
Recruitment Process Outsourcing is a growing and widely adopted concept in the United States, the United Kingdom, Asia and is rapidly gaining ground in continental Europe. HeadFirst Group and its brands have achieved expansion in several European countries in recent years through organic growth and partnerships. Kolff concludes, "Sterksen is going to help us tremendously in accelerating the delivery of value to existing and new clients across national borders."

About HeadFirst Group
HeadFirst Group is a leading, international HR service provider and specialist in professionally organizing external hiring. The organization offers a diversity of HR solutions, including contracting, matchmaking, MSP services and business consultancy.
