What Findr Recruitment does

Findr Recruitment B.V. is a Dutch recruitment and HR services firm headquartered in Wijchen, Gelderland, founded in 2019 and co-owned by Ricardo Aguado and Robert Kimya. The company operates as a subsidiary within Elevate People Group, a multi-label HR ecosystem that also includes Findr Flex, Scales, WeMotive, and Zoomin-HR.

The firm's product portfolio spans two main commercial lines plus several adjacent services. Findr One is a per-vacancy recruitment service charging a 30% placement fee on gross annual salary, with a second-placement fee within two years. Findr Crew is a tiered RPO subscription product (Crew Find from €3,900/month, Crew Build from €6,000/month, Crew Lead from €9,000/month) providing a dedicated team of recruiters, marketers, and a project manager for clients with ongoing hiring needs. Supporting services include Detacheren (secondment), Interim Search (15%/10% of daily rate), ZZP Bemiddeling (freelancer mediation), and Duurzame Inzetbaarheid (sustainable employability advisory, in partnership with Zoomin-HR).

Findr's go-to-market is sales-led and primarily domestic Netherlands, combining direct employer engagement, consultative Crew sales, a self-serve candidate registration portal, and a partner network of independent recruiters (ondernemers/ZZP'ers) operating under the Findr brand via a turnover-sharing model. The firm has no proprietary technology platform; operations rely on third-party tools and human-led sourcing, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Customer evidence is diversified across 20+ publicly listed logos spanning retail, IT services, healthcare, food & beverage, and payments.

Direct peers

• Page Personnel Netherlands: Mid-market focused permanent and temporary recruitment brand under PageGroup, operating in the Netherlands for office-support and junior-professional roles. Closely overlaps with Findr's MBO/HBO office-function focus.
• Olympia: Dutch generalist recruitment and staffing agency offering permanent placement, temporary staffing, and RPO across multiple sectors. Olympia is also a Findr customer, but it is a direct competitor in the same mid-market Dutch recruitment space with a comparable multi-service model.

Broad incumbents

• Robert Half Netherlands: Global staffing and consulting firm with Netherlands presence, providing permanent placement, contract staffing, and project consulting. Competes with Findr for office-function and finance/marketing/HR roles.
• ManpowerGroup Netherlands: Global workforce solutions provider with broad Netherlands operations across permanent, temporary, and RPO. Directly comparable multi-service recruitment offering to Findr, including detachering and RPO.
• Hays Netherlands: UK-listed global recruitment firm with a strong Dutch operation covering permanent, contract, and RPO across professional disciplines. Competes with Findr for mid-market hiring mandates and skilled white-collar placements.
• Yacht (Randstad Netherlands): Netherlands-focused professional recruitment brand under Randstad, offering permanent placement, interim management, and RPO for Dutch mid-market and enterprise clients. Directly comparable service portfolio to Findr but with significantly larger scale and brand recognition.
• Brunel International: Dutch-origin global specialist in secondment, contracting, and project-based placement of technical and professional talent. Highly comparable to Findr's detachering and interim recruitment services.
• Michael Page Netherlands: Global specialist recruitment firm with Dutch offices focused on permanent and interim placement for professional and managerial roles. Comparable to Findr's permanent placement and interim search offerings.

Emerging players

• WeMotive: Sister label within Elevate People Group focused on automotive recruitment, founded by a former Findr self-employed recruiter. Comparable model (sector-specialist permanent placement) but with a narrower vertical focus.
• Findr Flex: Sister label within Elevate People Group providing flexible staffing and secondment services. Shares Findr's employer base and candidate pool but specializes in detachering rather than Findr's permanent placement core.
