Futureproof recruitment: the power of platformization

Declining revenue, shortage of candidates, new legislation such as the CAO temporary workers 2026, and AI developments create a new dynamic in employment mediation. Platforms play an indispensable role in this and seize the opportunities. This is proven by, among other things, our collaboration with YoungOnes, ActiefWerkt! and Aanpakkers.

Benefits for staffing and temp agencies

Less costs, better margin

Platforms are self-serviced. Users manage things like price, content, delivery, and payment themselves. This allows you to serve the same group of users with fewer people.

Strong connection with users

Platforms are the way to address the growing need for autonomy and also an opportunity to stand out. They give your employees the space to invest in a personal relationship with the customer, at moments that truly matter.

Scalable growth

On successful platforms, a network effect emerges; demand and supply attract each other. This leads to scalable growth without the use of additional resources.

"Because posting jobs is so easy and people can respond super quickly, the right candidate is found in no time."

Pippa Walluschnig, Cocoroco

The success of gig marketplace YoungOnes

YoungOnes is the successful flexible platform from YoungCapital that not only turned the flexible industry upside down, but also achieved 1000% revenue growth in just one year. We developed this platform and continue to grow it every day through insights from data.

Platforms

We help your agency effectively platformize.

Platformization is about making your business digital, scalable, and customer-oriented. Think of direct online matching, digital candidate environments, effective digital intakes, automatic job proposals, and onboarding processes. This way, you improve your service, create room for growth, and ensure that talents remain within your ecosystem.

Freshheads has been designing and developing successful marketplaces for the labor market for over 23 years. We were involved at the inception of, among others, Werkspot and YoungOnes, and we platformize the mediation process of Actief Werkt! and Compagnon. We have seen that platforms truly make a difference and are also happy to help you move forward.
