NBBU opens LinkedIn group for supply and demand during Corona crisis

The Nederlandse Bond van Bemiddelings- en Uitzendondernemingen (NBBU) stresses that temporary workers, despite all the setbacks caused by the corona crisis, can make a great contribution to the economy right now. In a number of sectors there is virtually no need for personnel at the moment, but in other sectors there is very high demand for personnel. The beauty of agency workers is that they are highly versatile and can switch quickly. Consider working in industries where there are staff shortages, such as the supermarket industry, healthcare, transportation, distribution centers, agriculture and horticulture, logistics and distribution centers, among others.

To support entrepreneurs in this, the NBBU has created a temporary LinkedIn page. Here supply and demand can meet. Do you have employees that you do not currently have work for has? Report it, they may be employable elsewhere, where there is great scarcity.
