For tradespeople
What is TalentVia?+
TalentVia is a recruitment platform for construction. We connect tradespeople such as carpenters, bricklayers, tilers and HVAC installers with clients who are looking for staff.
Does signing up cost anything?+
No. Signing up and placement are free for tradespeople, and you're not tied to anything.
How long does signing up take?+
About two minutes. In a few short steps you fill in your details, trade, place of residence, experience, availability and wishes.
Are you looking for self-employed (ZZP) workers or people on payroll?+
Both. When you sign up, you say whether you're looking for assignments as a self-employed (ZZP) worker, a job on payroll, or whether both are fine.
Do I need a CV?+
No, a CV is optional. Your trade, experience, region and availability are enough to get started. If you do have a CV, you can upload it (PDF or Word, max. 5 MB).
What happens after I sign up?+
Right after you sign up, our digital assistant asks you a few short questions, for example about your availability, travel distance and preferred rate. Then we look for suitable work. If there's a good match, a recruiter will contact you.
Am I talking to a person or a computer?+
The first questions are asked by a digital assistant. It's not a person, and we're honest about that. Would you rather talk to someone? Tell the assistant and it will pass your message on to a recruiter.
How do you decide which work suits me?+
Among other things, we look at your trade, the distance to the project, your availability, type of contract and rate. A recruiter always reviews the match before anyone contacts you.
I'm not available right now. Can I still sign up?+
Yes. Tell us from when you'll be available again. If you're not looking for now, we set your profile to 'not available' and you can always let us know later that you're looking for work again.
Who gets to see my details?+
Only our recruiters. We only share your details with a client once you've agreed to it yourself for a specific job or assignment.
How do I get my data deleted?+
Use the form on our privacy page or email [email protected]. You can also tell the digital assistant. We process a deletion request within 30 days.
How long do you keep my data?+
Up to 24 months after our last contact, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.

For employers
How do I request staff?+
Fill in the request form on the For employers page with the trade, work location, number of people and preferred start date. We'll then contact you within 24 hours to go through the request.
Which tradespeople can you provide?+
We focus on construction, including carpenters, bricklayers, tilers, plasterers, painters, electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, roofers, groundworkers and pavers.
Do you work with self-employed (ZZP) workers or employed staff?+
Both. Say in your request what you're looking for; we select tradespeople who fit.
How do you select candidates?+
Candidates are asked about their trade, experience, availability, travel distance and type of contract. Based on that, our matching looks for suitable people for your project, after which a recruiter reviews the selection and approaches the candidates.
Is a request binding?+
No. A request comes with no obligation. We first discuss what you need and which arrangements go with it.
