Our name

Fossa Corbulonis is the original name of the canal between the Rhine river and a tributary of the Meuse river, between Leiden and Voorburg. Presently, this canal is called the Vliet. On the site where West Voorburg is now located and where Corbulo Specialised Staffing was founded in 2005, Roman general Corbulo built the Forum Hadriani in 47 AD.

The Vliet canal was dug in 47 AC by the Roman general Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo in order to promote trade and ensure that ships did not need to sail the dangerous North Sea.

The Corbulo canal was further improved under the emperor Hadrian, who visited this region in 120. The old Roman army town Municipium Cananefatium became the trading town Forum Hadriani; in the course of time, Forum was corrupted to Voorburg. Thus, Corbulo not only founded the city of Voorburg, but his investments in infrastructure also created what we now know as the Randstad.

As an organisation, we feel closely connected to the prosperity and order which the canal brought the Randstad. After all, we are eager to bring order to your recruitment process! General Corbulo was also an effective manager, as well as being loyal, visionary, reliable, honest, professional, fair and direct. As an organisation, we strive to put the same characteristics into practice.
