• Hays: Global specialist recruiter with deep coverage of accountancy/finance, IT, and engineering — including a Netherlands operation. Highly comparable to Kayak's specialist-vertical, candidate-quality-oriented model.
• Michael Page: Specialist recruitment firm (part of PageGroup) placing professionals across finance, technology, healthcare, and ESG. Direct overlap with Kayak's specialist vertical mix and candidate-matching approach.
• Harvey Nash: Specialist recruitment and workforce solutions firm focused on technology, digital, and cybersecurity placements. Comparable specialist positioning overlapping with Kayak's data and cyber verticals.
• Robert Half: Specialist staffing and consulting firm focused on finance/accounting, technology, and administrative roles. Comparable business model placing skilled professionals into enterprise clients on a temporary-to-permanent basis.

Broad incumbents
