Why should your company partner with BergWerk?

Partnering with BergWerk as a company offers a host of benefits!

BergWerk is known as an employment agency. A temp agency… That sounds so cold and distant to us—and we’re anything but. We prioritize personal contact and do much more than just match supply and demand in the job market. We also view our flex workers as our own colleagues and are always there for one another. Our motto? Don’t talk, just do it. Just get to work. Our mission? Happy employees and employers. By building connections. By inspiring. By watching both people and companies thrive. We’d love to explain why partnering with BergWerk brings so many benefits to your business!

1. Your employees will be recognized

It’s often assumed that flexible workers aren’t treated well. They’re just a number, have no say in anything, and are also underpaid. At BergWerk, this is absolutely not the case. Not only do we know all our employees by name, but we also love to put them in the spotlight. For example, we organizea special get-togetherfor all our colleaguestwice a year, and they can participate in internal giveaways. Last year, for instance, we gave away a VanMoof e-bike of their choice worth €2,500! In addition, employees receive a generous Christmas gift basket from us and, in the summer, a tasty package of specialty beers! It goes without saying that every employee also receives a fair wage. Furthermore, we’re available by phone in the evenings, employees are always welcome to drop by, and we work to foster strong bonds and collaboration among one another.

2. Get the most out of your employees with the BergWerk Academy

We train our employees and provide career guidance. And the best part is, it doesn’t cost your company any money or effort at all! We take care of everything so your new employee can start with confidence and/or continue to develop while on the job. This could include a Dutch language course or obtaining a forklift certification. But BergWerk is also the right place for an Excel course or accredited vocational training up to the university level. Want to learn more about the BergWerk Academy? Click here!

3. We place candidates at EVERY level

Every day, we hold in-depth conversations with candidates—from interns, entry-level professionals, and young professionals to experienced specialists—all from your region. And if we don’t have the ideal candidate(s) in our portfolio? Then we tap into our extensive network. Tell us what you’re looking for, and our recruiters will find the right employee—whether it’s for the long term or just for a short while. Whatever you want.

4. We're really, really good at searching

As soon as you submit a job opening to us, we immediately begin our search. Ideally, we’d like to match you with a suitable candidate that very same day. But in today’s job market, we don’t always have a candidate available right away. We have to be honest about that. Still, we can do a lot for you as a company. After all, we’re experts at recruiting—even if we do say so ourselves. ;) We use social media, job boards, paid resume databases, organize job fairs, and collaborate with schools, universities, and local governments to bring the right candidate to your company. We invest money, time, and effort into this so you don’t have to!

5. HR & Marketing in One

With BergWerk, you bring both HR and Marketing in-house. We can take care of everything for your company—from conducting performance reviews and coaching to handling HR administration and advising on laws and regulations. In addition to our well-known core services, you can confidently leave your (recruitment) marketing, content creation, and even employer branding efforts to us. Our marketing team would love to visit your company to take great photos and videos. Through fun TikToks, blogs, and more, we’ll put your company in the spotlight. All of this will benefit your employer branding! For example, read our interview here with 71-year-old Poppy, who works at the ANWB.

6. Your very own "Work With Us" page!

Speaking of employer branding, did you know that as an employer, you’ll get your own employer page with us? There, we’ll showcase everything about your company—from your sustainability initiatives to the benefits you offer. We can make it as comprehensive as you’d like. We’ll design this page entirely in your brand colors, ensuring the entire look and feel aligns with your company. There are no extra costs involved. How great is that? Check out the employer pages here.

7. Flexible Workers for Those Who Enjoy It

Some companies use staffing agencies solely to fill temporary openings. In other words: temporary staffing to cover for sick leave and peak periods. Of course, it’s important to have a few extra hands on hand in those situations. Temporary staffing offers so many benefits—and it’s also very socially responsible! The idea that everyone must have a permanent contract isn’t actually the ideal scenario. Not everyone wants a permanent contract. Plus, anyone in a temporary position can gain experience, develop their skills, and discover what suits them best. Interns, entry-level workers at every level, and people who are distanced from the labor market also find jobs more quickly through a staffing agency. And just imagine—in uncertain times—if everyone in your company had a permanent contract? We strongly encourage building a flexible workforce that allows you to scale up or down as needed, without risk or additional costs. If things are going well and you’d like to hire a temporary employee from BergWerk permanently, we’ll work with you to make that happen—it’s that simple.

8. Would you still prefer permanent staff?

Is your flexible workforce already set, and are you looking for a permanent employee? We can help you with that, too! Through BergWerk, the employee can work for you under a secondment contract. It’s more permanent than a flexible arrangement, yet still involves fewer worries, risks, and administrative HR hassles. Or you can opt for recruitment and selection. This means we’ll find your future employee and arrange an interview. If we have a good feeling about that person, we’ll introduce them to you. As soon as you’re on board, the person can start and be hired directly by your company. You pay only a fee for the recruitment and selection service. And you don’t pay until after a successful trial month. If the employee isn’t a good fit or decides to leave on their own, everything is completely free of charge. No cure, no pay!

9. We also work outside of Harderwijk

We have two cozy offices in downtown Harderwijk. However, this doesn’t mean we only serve companies in Harderwijk. We work with employers in and around Harderwijk. And we go quite far—but never too far—so we can stay firmly rooted in the local community. From Amersfoort to Dronten, we’re happy to help you find staff.

10. We also take action on behalf of animals

BergWerk was truly born out of a desire to help others—to connect people with companies, to inspire and motivate job seekers, and, where necessary, to teach them how to move forward. To show them that there’s more to life—if only they’re willing. How incredibly awesome it is—and how great it feels—to give it your all every day. To do what you love, what’s dear to you.

We also like to view the world around us through this social lens. We support charities and organizations (including those for animals) in need that are close to our hearts. For a better world. And greater well-being for everyone.

For example, we support Dierencentrum De Ark in Harderwijk and ACE|SHIN in southern Spain. We visit them regularly to see what needs we can help meet. This includes buying food, paying staff, or arranging transportation. We’re going places! By partnering with us, you’re contributing to these wonderful causes. Want to learn more?Click here!

11. We offer competitive prices

Does all this sound promising, but are you hesitant about the price tag? Don’t worry! We offer competitive prices and discounts. We’d be happy to explain exactly how we work over a cup of coffee. This is completely non-binding—even if you decide not to work with us, we’ll still be friends!
