Why Westerduin and Werkis are joining forces

The new group created through the collaboration between staffing agencies Westerduin and Werkis consists of 20 branches, mainly in the north, east and centre of the Netherlands. Westerduin and Werkis have both been active in the staffing sector for almost 20 years. The organisations primarily focus on production, logistics and engineering, and have developed into established players with a people-centred approach. Westerduin division Adhocdocent is also part of the new collaboration.

‘It is about truly seeing people and understanding what they want.’

‘We are similar in many respects,’ says Michèl Schilders, managing director at Westerduin, about joining forces with fellow company Werkis. ‘We both believe that work is more than just a source of income. It is about truly seeing people, understanding what they want and helping them find a place where they can thrive. That shared conviction, combined with strong regional involvement, makes Werkis a partner that genuinely suits us.’
