Executive search and recruitment in the Netherlands
Technology, data, finance and leadership hiring in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and across the Netherlands.
Speak to our teamThe Netherlands is one of Europe’s most international business markets. Amsterdam hosts European headquarters for many global tech and consumer brands, Rotterdam is a logistics and industrial powerhouse, and the Eindhoven region is a centre for high-tech manufacturing.
English is widely used at work, which opens the market to international talent. It also means Dutch employers compete with the whole of Europe for the same senior people. We help clients hire leaders who fit both the international and the Dutch way of working.

- European headquarters of international technology and consumer brands

Roles we recruit in the Netherlands
Knowing the the Netherlands market
Consensus matters
Dutch organisations value open debate and shared decisions. Leaders who only direct can struggle here.
Flat structures, high ownership
Titles can look junior next to Gulf or US equivalents. We look at scope, not job title.
International talent is welcome
Many senior hires come from across Europe. Relocation support and tax rules for incoming talent can shape the offer.
Work-life balance is real
Hours, flexibility and holiday are part of the decision. Candidates weigh them seriously.
How we run a search
- BriefWe agree what success looks like in the first 12 months, not just the job title.
- MapWe map who does this job well today in the Netherlands and across Europe, and what would make them move.
- ApproachDirect, discreet conversations. No mass messages, no CV databases.
- ShortlistA short list of tested candidates, with our honest view on each one.
