Three ways to work with us
Partnership
We run the full hiring process from A to Z for an agreed number of vacancies. You interview only the strongest candidates and make the final decision.
Fractional Recruiter
We run one stage of your process. Whether that's sourcing candidates, creating a talent pool, or interviewing when volume spikes.
Hiring Process Optimisation
We review and optimise the way you hire. The result is a hiring operation that runs well without us.
Sectors we work in
Examples of the sustainable sectors our clients operate in.
Cleantech
Organisations building the technology behind the energy and industrial transition, from battery storage to industrial efficiency.
Circular Economy
Organisations designing out waste through recycled and bio-based materials, and closed-loop supply chains, at the intersection of manufacturing and retail.
Energy Transition
Solar, wind, storage, and the software managing a more distributed grid, often with cross-border teams navigating different regulatory frameworks by country.
Food & Agriculture
Regenerative farming, alternative proteins, and reduced-waste logistics, working with retailers and food manufacturers over long, relationship-driven sales cycles.
ESG & Carbon Accounting
Organisations helping other companies measure, report, and reduce their environmental impact, growing quickly on the back of new disclosure regulation like the CSRD.
Sustainable Materials
Bio-based plastics, low-carbon cement, recycled fibres, and coatings that replace petroleum-based inputs in packaging, construction, automotive, and textiles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who do we work with?
- Impact-driven organisations across Europe whose core business contributes to a more sustainable economy. Ranging from cleantech and circular economy to energy transition, food & agriculture, and ESG & carbon accounting.
How are we different from a traditional recruitment agency?
- A traditional agency fills vacancies. We look at where your business is heading. You might have one urgent role today, but your ambition is bigger than that. So alongside finding the right people, we help you build the hiring infrastructure to keep growing, and eventually to do it yourself. And because we care about the long run, we focus on professionals who stay, deliver, and grow with your team.
Which markets do we cover?
- We are based in the Netherlands and recruit across Europe, with the most depth in Amsterdam, London, Berlin, and Paris.
Can we recruit for several locations at once?
- Yes. We run searches across all your locations at the same time under one agreement. You don't need a separate agency for each country.
