Opteamic Group, a Polish employment agency, has launched operations in the Netherlands and obtained NEN 4400-2 certification, a compliance standard required by many companies operating in the Dutch labour market. The certification confirms compliance with local regulations concerning employment legality, tax and social security payments and financial transparency, allowing the company to cooperate with Dutch businesses.
“The Netherlands is a natural direction of expansion for the Opteamic Group. This market is one of the largest in Europe in terms of demand for employees in sectors in which we have many years of experience, such as recruitment for logistics, manufacturing, technology companies and the automotive industry. Our entry into this market was preceded by a process of adapting our operating procedures to local requirements and an audit that resulted in the award of NEN 4400-2 certification,” said Jakub Kizielewicz, CEO of Opteamic.
The NEN 4400-2 certificate is widely used in the Netherlands as a verification standard for employment agencies and contractors. It covers the legality of employing posted workers, the correctness of tax and social contribution settlements and financial reliability. For clients, it is intended to reduce legal and tax risks and facilitates cooperation with local partners.
“From the very beginning, we have been building our Dutch project based on local standards and compliance requirements. The NEN 4400-2 certificate is confirmation of this. We want to be a long-term partner that provides our clients with full operational and tax security,” Kizielewicz added.
Operationally, the company has begun activities using two models: recruitment services for Dutch employment agencies that hire candidates directly, and a temporary employment agency model under which Opteamic supplies workers to clients in the Netherlands and manages payroll, coordination and accommodation.
Target sectors include logistics and warehousing, manufacturing, automotive, engineering and metallurgy, with roles such as welders, CNC operators, mechanics and fitters. The company reports that it has signed its first contracts in technical, automotive, logistics and manufacturing segments.
Over the next two to three years, Opteamic plans to build a client portfolio in the Netherlands among both local agencies and end users, gradually increasing recruitment volumes and temporary staffing operations. Activities in the Dutch market are supported by structures in Poland, with decisions regarding a permanent local office dependent on business growth and client demand.
“Entering the Dutch market is part of a broader strategy to internationalise the Opteamic Group’s operations. Our key differentiator is our recruitment experience, including advanced sourcing, candidate pre-selection, verification of professional experience and process organisation. This responds to customer needs in terms of employment legality, competence requirements and business partner stability,” Kizielewicz said.
Opteamic Group specialises in mass and specialist recruitment as well as temporary staffing for logistics, manufacturing and automotive companies, providing services adapted to local regulatory and compliance requirements.
