EuFlex Technificent helps your company to stay ahead of the scarcity in the technical labor market. We do this by bringing you and your company in direct contact with talented technical students, who would love to work on your next project! To find the perfect match, we recruit students from our own community, consisting of more than 3000 TU/e students. You decide which applicants you want to hire and we take care of the contract and payroll administration.
Since students have to be on campus regularly, we experienced that side jobs in the Brainport region, Noord-brabant and Limburg are the most obvious. For recruiting alumni the region is wider.

A student not only takes care of filling temporary vacancies, but also increases your brand awareness among TU/e students. A work student today, is a ready-to-use employee of tomorrow. Since TU/e students are used to working in multidisciplinary teams, we see that companies often hire a student to gain new insights. A new, young, fresh perspective not only offers opportunities to think outside of the box, but also gives access to the latest knowledge.
EuFlex Technificent focuses on matching technical TU/e students with both technical and less technical companies. EuFlex Technificent is characterized by three unique features:
The cost for you as a company depends per service. For student jobs and Reverse Matching, we work on a No cure, No pay basis. You only start paying when a suitable technical student starts working for you. You will pay a factor over the gross hourly wage.
Due to the “inlenersbeloning-principe’’ (hirer’s remuneration principle) that we are obliged to follow, we will always classify the student according to your collective labor agreement or if there is no classification, the student will be classified according to the TU/e regulation for student assistants.For Employer Branding we have fixed prices. For these prices and more information you can read the following brochure.
Flexibility is one of our top priorities, we are happy to think along with your situation. Feel free to call for the possibilities: 040 – 247 8080

Due to the ‘’inlenersbeloning-principe’’ that we are obliged to follow, we will always classify the student according to your collective labor agreement. If your organization does not make use of a collective labor agreement, the student will be classified according to TU/e regulation for student assistants.
We believe that you know best which student suits your company. Therefore, we will search for you, and you select!
It is possible to contact all students that applied for your vacancy.
We exclusively work with TU/e students. Since we are 100% part of the TU/e, we work with students from all faculties, Bachelor, Master and PhD. All our students have a technical education, but they also regularly end up in less technical jobs. It’s ideal to have someone in the team who can look at things from a different angle. Here you can find more information about the different TU/e courses.
Since we and our employers encourage our students to excel in both their studies and side jobs, placements for 8-16 hours a week are common. In some cases this may be more, depending on the student’s personal study schedule.
No, we don’t do this. Although this is possible with the service Employer Branding, the company is able to post these type of vacancies. With Employer Branding it is possible to promote your internships and graduation assignments!
TU/e students are used to work in multidisciplinary teams. Since they are new to the company, they can provide new, fresh and innovative insights. This can help to break through existing patterns and to have a new look at the current processes. In general, students are very flexible and highly motivated. In addition, a student is also extremely suitable for a temporary project.
It is important to continue to promote your company during Covid-19. Now that things are more difficult on campus, the focus is more online. Through our platform this is possible with weekly newsletters and digital events. Your company is closer than ever, reach your future employees, right now!

Breaking fixed thinking patterns or making procedures more efficient, every employer will face these challenges from time to time. Often an expensive company is hired for this. Can it be done differently? Hell yes! Sometimes a fresh, new look at things can help. EuFlex Technificent can assist with finding a suitable work student. TU/e students are used to a multidisciplinary work environment and can help with new insights.

Vacancies for Student Jobs and Starters positions are available on the platform. Internal vacancies from the TU/e are available here.
The salary depends on the applicable collective labor agreement of the employer. If the employer does not make use of a collective labor agreement, we advise employers to use the TU/e salaries for student assistants. In most cases, the gross hourly wage is stated in the vacancy. If this is not the case, don’t hesitate and contact us!
When you apply for a job, we make an initial selection for the employer. This first selection is presented to the employer and if they select you, you follow the application process set up by the employer. Usually these are 1 to 3 interviews with the employer. Mostly, 1 for side jobs and 3 for a starter job. In some cases an assessment or technical test is part of the selection. This depends on the wishes of the employer. After (successfully) completing the application process, the client decides which student/candidate will be hired.
