Origin history

Persistent and creative in the solutions we devise and build.

For over 20 years, we have been focusing solely on making the recruitment process for companies more efficient and effective, and there’s rarely a dull moment! We work with a multidisciplinary team based in the Hulstkamp building in Rotterdam (and regularly from home).
