Our Portfolio

GP-Connect, headquartered in Breda, is an international staffing platform that connects qualified international professionals with Dutch employers in sectors facing structural labor shortages.

Founded by Gijs Bruinhof and Philip Deeleman, GP-Connect has grown into an organization with over 1,450 professionals at work through a portfolio of specialized labels. Each label serves its own field: from hospitality (GP-Connect) and dentistry (Dental Hero) to IT (Wypoon), engineering (Tecwave), skilled labor (GPS2Work) and landscape & public works (Aanpakkers XL). From its Dutch base, the organization is now also active in Belgium, Germany and Denmark.

While labor market shortages are a structural problem for many employers, GP-Connect has built a scalable, international model around them: from sourcing and selecting candidates abroad to careful placement and support at the employer in the Netherlands.

Together with Transformation Capital, GP-Connect is taking the next step: further professionalizing the organization, deploying data and AI to make recruiters more productive, and driving further growth — both within existing fields and into new sectors and countries.
