LOF Recruitment

What LOF Recruitment does

LOF Recruitment B.V. is a privately held, founder-owned Dutch recruitment agency headquartered in Hilversum, operating across the Netherlands with a distributed delivery model that includes a Spain-based consultant. Founded by Lars Franken (Managing Director) and Emma Franken-van Leur, the firm employs 6-8 people and serves Dutch employers with permanent, temporary, and interim staffing needs across six functional verticals: Finance & Accounting, Human Resources, Sales & Customer Service, Logistics & Supply Chain, Technical/Engineering, and ICT, plus a custom '100% Maatwerk' track for non-standard mandates.

The service portfolio spans six lines. Werving & Selectie charges 25% of gross annual salary (minimum EUR 7,500 excluding VAT) on a no-cure-no-pay basis. Detachering provides temporary professionals at a 3.0x conversion factor over gross hourly wage for 2,080 hours, after which clients can convert without additional fee. Interim/ZZP solutions use a three-party contract for rapid freelance deployment. LOF Executive Search targets passive senior candidates for permanent or interim roles. Proces Consultancy offers fixed-fee advisory on recruitment process optimization. Payroll Services are delivered through ABU-certified operations, supporting expat and flexible contract arrangements. Operations are administered via Flexportal.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based: consultants conduct personal job intakes with hiring managers, run 360-degree client acquisition and sourcing, and perform post-placement evaluation visits. Customer acquisition relies on the company website, LinkedIn, weekly job-alert emails, direct outreach, and client referrals. No external investors, parent entity, or acquisitions are disclosed, and the firm is bootstrapped. Notable named clients include Leasys/Leasemaatschappij (automotive leasing), BottleUp, Bright Brands, and M-Partners.
