VakLink connects ZZP monteurs and technicians to industrial companies that need them — using AI to match skills, certifications, and equipment expertise automatically.
Dutch companies can't find workers. Technicians can't find the right shifts. The system fails both sides.
Nearly 3 in 4 industrial companies report missing project deadlines due to inability to staff certified technicians on time.
Each unfilled skilled vacancy costs Dutch manufacturers over €47,000 per year in lost productivity and overtime spending.
Traditional staffing agencies take 6+ weeks to fill a specialised technical role — far too slow for urgent production needs.
The highest in a decade. Technicians exist but can't be found — because skills data isn't structured anywhere.
VakLink works differently for technicians and companies — both get exactly what they need.
Add your certifications (VCA, BHV, NEN, etc.), equipment experience, and availability. Takes 10 minutes — no CV required.
Our algorithm matches your exact skills and certificates to company requirements. You only see shifts you're actually qualified for.
Accept shifts with one tap. Your ZZP contract is handled digitally. You invoice the company directly — VakLink never touches your income.
Every completed shift adds to your VakLink reliability score. Top-rated technicians get priority access to premium shifts.
Our AI reads your technical documentation and automatically identifies every certification, qualification, and skill required to operate or maintain the equipment.
PDF, DOCX, or scanned documents. Our OCR + NLP pipeline extracts structured skill data from any technical document.
Identifies required certifications (VCA, BHV, NEN 3140), equipment type competencies, and safety qualifications automatically.
Score = (Cert Match × 40%) + (Equipment × 25%) + (Proximity × 20%) + (Reliability × 15%). Best fit, every time.
Auto-generated reports confirming all workers on a project hold the required certifications — audit-ready instantly.
