What Treasurer Search does

Treasurer Search is a specialist recruitment agency founded in 2009 by Pieter de Kiewit, focused exclusively on treasury and corporate finance hiring across the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. Operating from headquarters in Venlo, Netherlands, with a formal German entity (Treasurer Search GmbH, Kleve, HRB 20028), the firm serves mid-size to larger companies across trade, industry, financial services, technology, healthcare, and not-for-profit sectors. The service portfolio includes permanent treasury recruitment, senior executive search (Head of Treasury, Group Treasurer, CFO-level mandates), and interim treasury staffing supported by a pre-vetted Interim Treasurers Pool. Named enterprise clients include Booking.com, Adyen, ASML, ABN AMRO, ING, Rabobank, Siemens, BASF, Johnson & Johnson, UCB, and Eurofins, indicating a strong enterprise-tilt with cross-border mandate capability.

The underlying technology stack is deliberately lean: the firm uses the OTYS candidate management system (otys.work) for applicant tracking and a website (treasurersearch.com) with vacancy listings, candidate application forms, and an extensive news/advice content hub. The proprietary asset is a treasury labor market dataset tracking 1,378 vacancies across three markets in H1 2026 (Germany 1,014, Netherlands 238, Belgium 126), which the firm describes as "AI-augmented." Content marketing and ecosystem engagement — DACT, ATEB, and ATEL memberships, DACT Treasury Thesis Award sponsorship, Finanzsymposium booth presence, and hosted webinars on topics including cross-border recruitment and AI in treasury — form the primary demand generation engine. There is no public API, no mobile app, and no software product; the offering is a human-powered consultancy.

The revenue model is professional services on a contingency or retained search basis, with the client (employer) paying recruitment fees. Three revenue streams — permanent placement, interim placement (typically 3+ month assignments), and senior executive search — are supported by a 16-person team led by Managing Director Pieter de Kiewit and Director of Interim Services Ron van Haeff. The GTM motion is sales-led with event-driven activation: direct enterprise engagement, industry event participation, and thought-leadership content. No public pricing, no funding rounds, and no institutional investors are disclosed; the firm is privately held and founder-owned.
