Working as an IT freelancer via Maedium

Maedium is an independent IT brokerage, founded on a simple conviction: brokering between freelancers and clients can be more personal, fairer and more transparent than it is at many large agencies. From our home base in Alkmaar we place independent IT professionals into assignments throughout the Randstad — North Holland, South Holland, Utrecht and Flevoland.

Behind Maedium is years of experience in placement and in professional services. We know what it is like to sit on both sides of the table: we understand what a client is looking for, and just as well what you as a freelancer need to work with pleasure and security. That dual perspective makes our matches sharper. We are deliberately small and involved: you don't get rotating account managers, but one fixed contact who knows your file, calls you when something comes up and is honest about what is and isn't possible.

Important to know: Maedium never becomes your employer. We broker, we don't second. You remain an independent entrepreneur; we make sure you end up at the right assignments and that the collaboration is properly and compliantly arranged.

Maedium brokers for the full breadth of IT. Whether you build infrastructure, develop software or secure systems: if there is demand for your specialism in the Randstad, we can mean something for you. Think of roles like:

• Cloud, infrastructure and operations — cloud engineers, network engineers, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, system administrators and SREs.
• Security — security engineers, SOC specialists and professionals around compliance and risk management.
• Development — backend, frontend and full-stack developers in Java, .NET and Python among others.
• Data — data engineers, data scientists and machine learning engineers.
• Other IT roles — from solution and software architects to test engineers, business analysts and IT project managers.

Don't see yourself exactly here? No problem. Our focus is on infrastructure, cloud, network and security, but we always look at the person and the profile. Sign up, and together we'll see whether a match can be made.

Signing up takes a few minutes and commits you to nothing. Here's how it goes:

• 1. You sign up. Through the form at the bottom of this page you leave your details and briefly tell us what you do and what you're looking for.
• 2. We schedule an introduction. In a conversation — by phone or on location — we get to know your profile, your preferences and your availability. Not a checklist, but a real conversation.
• 3. We go looking for you. If an assignment fits your profile, we put you forward specifically to the client. We don't submit you anonymously onto a pile, but bring you into view where you genuinely fit.
• 4. You get to work. If there's a click with the client, we arrange the collaboration neatly and DBA-compliantly. During your assignment we remain reachable as your fixed point of contact.

There are plenty of agencies that put your CV in a database and then never speak to you again. Maedium works differently. We are small, personal and involved, and you notice it in the way we deal with you: we know your file, we call you when something comes up, and we are honest — even when an assignment doesn't fit you. We believe a good match starts with genuinely knowing each other.

Because we know the market and the clients in the Randstad well, we put you forward specifically rather than spreading you widely. That saves you time and increases the chance of an assignment that is right — in content, in rate and in working arrangement. And should there be nothing fitting for a while, we'd rather tell you so honestly than keep you on a string.

Ready to sign up? Leave your details below. In the message field, briefly tell us what you do — your specialism or role, your level, a rate indication and your availability — so we can help you faster and more specifically. We'll get in touch within one working day. Signing up is without obligation and commits you to nothing.
