The recruitment agency Borne employers trust for senior operations talent
Borne is a compact industrial and logistics municipality in the heart of the Twente region, positioned between Hengelo to the south and Almelo to the north. Twente Milieu — the regional waste and environmental services operator — is the most prominent Borne employer, generating consistent senior operations, project management and engineering demand. The surrounding cluster of light industrial, logistics and precision manufacturing SMEs adds further breadth to the regional senior hiring pipeline.
The strategic advantage of a Borne-based employer is access to the full Twente talent triangle. Hengelo (Siemens Healthineers, Thales) is 10 minutes south; Almelo (Enexis, Urenco Nederland) is 15 minutes north; Enschede (University of Twente, Demcon, Nedap) is 20 minutes east. As a central Twente employer, Borne can plausibly present a commute offer to candidates from across the entire regional senior market — and that is exactly how we source for every Borne mandate.

How we approach a Borne senior search
Every Borne mandate is run as a central Twente regional search, not a narrow city-boundary exercise. We market-map the full Twente triangle, identify the 25 to 35 most relevant passive senior leaders across the region, and open personal outreach across all of them. We present the Borne commute case explicitly in every candidate approach and brief on hybrid working arrangements from day one.
