The labor market is stalling. We are thinking out loud about it.

People21 is both a knowledge partner and an executor for international labor in Europe. We see the potential that others miss, focusing sharply on human talent and the challenges in the labor market. This way, we start the conversation not from an opinion, but from data.

What we stand for

Our mission and vision

Progress begins with work that moves people forward

International capacity gives organizations the room to grow and our economy the strength to keep moving forward. This connection arises when we take responsibility, look honestly at what is going well, and do not look away from what needs to improve. Because by bringing people, entrepreneurs, knowledge, and data together, we turn labor mobility into a positive force for all of Europe.

We pave the way to better work

From individual to society, from entrepreneur to economy. We make national growth possible with international capacity. We organize this in a way that works, because well-organized work starts with well-organized guidance, transport, and housing, not just the placement itself.

The path we have traveled

  1. Founding of Stipt

  2. Start of a growth trajectory focused on professionalization and scaling up.

  3. Growth to nearly 1,000 international employees, including the expansion with Quality Uitzendbureau and expertise in the dairy industry.

  4. People21 founded as an umbrella holding company and Stay21 was launched as a real estate label for housing; this provided a stable foundation within the People21 labels.

  1. DDD Personeel was acquired by People21, adding the 'no-nonsense' mentality to the House of Labels as well as strengthening the national market.

  2. Expansion with Feel Flex and Link2Europe, the first step in People21's international growth and additional industries such as transport.

  3. People21 with multiple specialized labels, 2,972 international employees, and 2,745 housing spots.

  4. The most innovative partner supporting you in your business processes, from HR & Compliance to operational solutions. Data as the standard.
