Lifelong flexible career

Our vision on the supply side

Our view on the world in 2025

It is 2025, and the majority of the European labour market is now flexible. As a result, the economy is very much driven by independent professionals. These professionals, young and old, expect a career that is always in development and that gives them room to be entrepreneurial. However, this flexibility often leads to a lack of personal development and interaction with peers, which used to be available to employees in large companies. For this reason, there has been a shift towards communities of independent professionals and suppliers. As part of these communities and networks, people with decades of experience openly share their knowledge with the group of younger professionals.

HeadFirst Group’s value for our customers

With its Striive platform, HeadFirst Group has become the standard partner for independent professionals and suppliers who focus on a lifelong flexible career. We unburden and support workers with perfectly balanced tech and personal services. HeadFirst Group has managed to claim this spot by offering ‘career partner’ solutions to these professionals. These solutions include assignment-to-assignment mediation, upskilling and training, personal mentoring and career planning, cross-company traineeships, and permanent advice; all designed to propel people forward to their next dream role. In this way, HeadFirst Group provides the support environment that corporates used to provide before.

HeadFirst Group is serving a growing base of younger workers. We have been able to onboard young talent by working with universities and offering flexible traineeships. The tailored career guidance program helps workers take the necessary steps to get the jobs they dream of; after all, a career is a series of steppingstones. For people who want to be part of a community, online or face-to-face, there are guilds where specialists share their experiences. For people who want to focus on themselves, there are services for career security, such as insurance and pension. This move towards being a full HR service provider has propelled HeadFirst Group to servicing over fifty different communities covering a professional base of over 250,000 professionals in the Netherlands.
