From expanding into Europe to strengthening your team at home, we find executive, professional and operational talent anywhere in Europe, including the UK.
- Our story -
The right hire starts with understanding your business. Based in the Netherlands, our team brings over 10 years of European HR and recruitment experience to national hiring and international expansion.
We do more than send CVs. Active headhunting, in-depth interviews and clear professional summaries help you assess each candidate's motivation, strengths and fit before you invest time in interviews.
- Who we help -
Entering a new country or hiring close to home? One recruitment partner for your first European team, your next specialist or the people who keep your business running.
Expanding to Europe
Setting up your first European or UK presence, or moving into a brand new country? We become your local talent partner, source your founding team and steer you through cross-border hiring nuance.
National recruitment
You do not need an international expansion plan to work with us. We help established teams hire in their home country, from sales and marketing to HR, procurement, customer service and leadership.
- People, not pipelines -
Recruitment is personal. Darcie and Erwin combine European market experience with hands-on support for clients and candidates. Expect honest feedback, clear communication and attention to the person behind the CV, not just the job title.
