Hiring Dream Teams for Startups & Scaleups
Helping growing teams with tailored recruitment. Reaching business goals by making key hires at the right time, at the right price.
A tailored game plan for your growth.
1. Assess
We assess your company’s current status by evaluating the team’s strengths, spirit and skill gaps. Together we set clear growth goals and hiring forecasts (3-6-9 months) and we’ll take your funding and revenue into account; we create value within any budget.
2. Plan
We tailor recruitment strategies to your needs, offering strategic consulting for specific HR cases, fractional support to manage pipelines and fill key roles, daily partnerships for balanced strategy and execution or full-time integration to drive ambitious growth.
3. Integrate
We deliver tailored support to match your needs: pro bono advice for early-stage founders, success fees where you pay only for successful hires, daily rates for sustained, focused assignments and hourly rates for ongoing, hands-on assistance.

''Xander and I have been in touch since the early days of Coolset. He has always been available whenever I needed advice on talent acquisition or HR-related matters, supported me in my search for my first technical hire, and guided me with relevant job market data and salary benchmarks. It’s refreshing to work with someone who has hands-on experience in Amsterdam’s top startups.''

“In 2024, Xander has played an instrumental role on growing Studocu from 130 to 175 team members by outbeating our extremely ambitious recruitment targets, and helping us hire the best of the best. Xander is very passionate about what he does, and truly outcome driven; he places the bar very high for himself and will not shy away from hard work.”

Scaleup (Series B)
Success is driven by principled teams.
Transparency
Being open and transparent at every step, ensuring our clients and candidates know exactly what's happening and why. Just straightforward, honest and direct.
Balance
Balancing quality-quantity-velocity is key, just as the battles you choose to fight. People need balance in all aspects of life, so we try to keep it in everything we do.
Positivity
We approach our work with positive energy, knowing that every problem has a solution and every challenge is an opportunity for growth.
Scouting talent is what I like most
From a lifetime in competitive sports to nearly a decade in talent acquisition, I’ve always thrived in environments where motivation, strategy, and teamwork are non-negotiable. I’ve worked across agencies, consultancies, and in-house roles in different industries, but startups and scaleups are my sweet spot.
I love to help them reach their key objectives by hiring the best people for the job and I love to help individuals find their next opportunity and be challenged again.
