Pro Contact joins forces with Roestvrijtaal

Pro Contact strengthened by specialists in labour market communication

Amsterdam, 25 November 2024. Pro Contact, a recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) agency, is acquiring Roestvrijtaal, which specialises in labour market communication. With this step, Pro Contact further expands its recruitment process outsourcing activities. The acquisition is a new milestone and fits the company’s growth ambitions.

Over the past twelve years, Pro Contact has gained a leading position by approaching the market with new recruitment solutions. The company has grown into a one-stop shop for medium-sized and large companies that want to outsource their recruitment process. To expand its activities further, Pro Contact uses several growth scenarios. Besides organic growth, product expansion and opening more local branches, the company is open to acquiring industry peers. The acquisition of Roestvrijtaal fits this last scenario. Operating nationwide, Roestvrijtaal is an expert in labour market communication and stands out for its compelling and inclusive job ads. That makes the company a very valuable addition to Pro Contact’s offering.

Roestvrijtaal has been around for twenty years and in that time has built up enormous knowledge and experience in labour market communication and employer branding. The company offers services such as job ads, testimonials, careers websites and training courses to create a consistent employer brand. The team’s expertise covers the entire candidate and employee journey, with the aim of conveying engagement in employment contracts and HR documents as well. Roestvrijtaal’s client base is very diverse, from retail to government and from healthcare to finance.

Owner and managing director Kittie Spierings is looking forward to working with her colleagues at Pro Contact: “Pro Contact stands for a modern and integrated approach to attracting and retaining employees in organisations. This innovative approach really appeals to us at Roestvrijtaal and also fits our way of working. Our team is looking forward to working with Pro Contact’s recruitment experts to take our joint clients a step further in their recruitment and so offer a solution to their recruitment challenges.”

Noud Baijens, founder and owner of Pro Contact: “The acquisition of Roestvrijtaal is an important milestone in Pro Contact’s ambitions. Growth is in our company’s DNA, so this first acquisition is important to us. With Roestvrijtaal’s services and experience, we can support our clients even better in their recruitment processes. It’s a company with a great client base, served by experts in labour market communication. This really adds value to our existing portfolio. I believe this partnership adds a new dimension to our recruitment services.”

Roestvrijtaal will continue to operate from its office in Uden; Kittie Spierings will remain in charge and is part of Pro Contact’s management team.
