Rates and
models.
Five ways to work with FlexHero — from flexible staffing to an in-house team. Below you'll find what each model costs and when it fits.
No price list in a PDF. Rates depend on sector, region, scale and risk profile. Below are the ranges per service model — for an exact rate, request a quote based on your situation.

A discount for volume?
We don't give volume discounts — our margin is already lean. But with longer contracts (12+ months) or larger pools (10+ FTE structural), you can negotiate a lower multiplier (2,3 instead of 2,6). Ask about it at intake.
Frequently asked questions.
How do I know which factor you apply for my sector?
Request a quote. For a MIG/MAG welder in the manufacturing industry it is around 2,45. For a process operator in 5-shift continuous operation (higher sickness risk) it is closer to 2,5-2,6. For production workers (low risk) 2,3-2,4.
How do you compare with large staffing agencies?
We are 5-10% more expensive than the mass-market agencies, but 20-30% cheaper than boutique agencies for specialists. We sit in the middle — quality without the boutique price.
Do you offer open-book accounting?
For inhouse relationships: yes, weekly reporting with a breakdown of every hourly invoice. For standalone staffing: a standard invoice with hours × rate, breakdown on request.
What if the skilled worker wants to earn more?
The hirer's remuneration is fixed by what a Dutch colleague earns — we won't deviate from that. If the skilled worker progresses (certificate, experience, language level), your own job classification adjusts and the rate rises automatically.
Do we get a discount for a skilled worker's 2nd year?
After 12 months of uninterrupted deployment, the employee becomes slightly cheaper for us (lower risk premiums, settled in on the shop floor). We pass part of that saving on — typically a 5-8% lower multiplier.
