What Carerix does

Carerix BV is a Rotterdam-based provider of recruitment software that combines an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and a Candidate Relationship Management (CRM) system within a single SaaS platform. Founded in 2003, the company sells primarily to two customer segments: bureau recruitment firms (covering Werving & Selectie, Detachering, and Uitzenden workflows) and corporate in-house recruitment teams. Its product surface spans core ATS/CRM functionality, AI Matching (via the acquired theMatchBox engine), CX Sense (intelligent candidate and client follow-up signaling), Recruitment Marketing Automation, omnichannel communication (email, WhatsApp, SMS, VoIP, video), process automation, and analytics dashboards in Qlik and PowerBI. The platform exposes an extensive REST API — used by its own UI — enabling a best-of-breed marketplace of roughly twenty integrations including Booston, Oneflow, AFAS, Mailchimp, Indeed, and JobDigger.

The company's technology stack runs on protected datacenters with Carerix Private AI delivered on a dedicated Amazon Web Services environment that keeps customer data tenant-isolated and is explicitly compliant with GDPR and the EU AI Act. The firm holds ISO 27001 certification, supports CV parsing in 29 languages, and is in the process of deprecating prior OpenAI dependency in favor of its in-house private AI environment. Carerix reports approximately 80 employees, around 1,050 customers, and roughly 17,000 users across 19 countries; offices are maintained in Rotterdam (HQ), London, Paris, and Kyiv (engineering). Named customers include Randstad (deployed across 12 operating countries), BMW, Essent, ANWB, Intergamma, Spie, Hoppenbrouwers Techniek, Building Heroes, and Sterksen (a customer since 2008).

Carerix operates as a subsidiary brand of Pixid Group, a European temporary workforce management software provider backed by Keensight Capital (€5.5bn AUM). Pixid Group manages workforce spend exceeding €14bn annually and employs nearly 280 staff across Paris, Rotterdam, London, Antwerp, and the US; in 2024 it acquired VectorVMS (US-based VMS) and theMatchBox (Belgian AI matching), the latter feeding Carerix's AI roadmap. Carerix generates revenue through quote-based annual SaaS subscriptions sold via a direct enterprise sales motion, with no public pricing and a demo-led acquisition funnel. The company's GTM is sales-led with inside and field sales teams and dedicated Customer Success Management, supplemented by academy training, webinars, and the annual Carerix Xperience event.
