About us

Connecting the right people

IQ staffing is specialized in matching IT professionals with the perfect job. Flexibility, efficiency, and reliability are our top priorities. We focus on long standing relationships with our clients and really want to understand their business. This is important because the best matches are made based on skill and personality.

We are looking for long-term successes. Connecting the right people and helping candidates with the next step in their careers is what drives us.

We are NEN4400-1 certified

IQ Staffing is registered with the Labour Standards Foundation (SNA) as a NEN 4400-1 certified company. This is proof that you work with a bona fide party. SNA aims at realising self-regulation to prevent fraud and illegal practices in the temporary employment industry and all forms of (sub) contracting. To this end, SNA carries out inspections to check whether companies comply with the standard and awards the SNA certificate NEN 4400-1. The key objectives are:

– Limiting strict liability of recipient companies and sub-contractors for non-payment of taxes and social insurance contributions.
– Preventing high penalties for recipient companies and sub-contractors for working with people who do not have the right to work in the Netherlands, whose identities have not been ascertained or who work under false identities.
