Leave to us what we are good at: compliant contracting of professionals. Hiring externals brings plenty of opportunities, but also many risks. HeadFirst monitors these risks in the areas of labor law, taxation, and legal matters, and covers them completely. In addition, we coordinate and handle all agreements and administrative procedures. The result: risk-free hiring with minimal administrative burden and minimal costs.

A good hiring strategy starts with insights through data. It starts with basic data such as: where is the hiring happening, at what rate, and for how long? But by combining this with market data – which HeadFirst has in abundance – you get to talent intelligence that you can really work with. Get insights into market-conform rates 365 days a year. We know the answer to the question: which soft skills do externals need to add the most value to your specific organization? And much more.

We believe in the principle 'tech enables touch.' We are convinced that by using smart technology, we create space for truly personal contact. After all, service ultimately depends on good people. That’s why we also know that a fixed point of contact – with a strong team behind them – is very important.
