Trusted by leading Startups & Scaleups
Products don't make unicorns. People do.
We know its shape & needs.
We know the right formation
And we hire across all positions
When your whole team needs filling in the same six-month window, you need a partner that knows what to look for in every department. We only work with tech startups & scaleups. So we calibrate the formation to your needs once, not five times.
We spot the right character
Going beyond the CV
We know how to look for the kind of person that doesn’t just survive the pace and chaos, but thrives in it. The kind that:
Adapts under a shifting scope
Is opinionated but humble
Balances speed and quality
Is capable of nurturing a culture that’s half-formed
We price for your stage
With shared stakes and shared wins
Enterprise pricing drains your runway. No-cure-no-pay looks like the safe choice, but they will always prioritize the easiest and most profitable assignments first.
The incentives are misaligned. And every week you’re missing your next hire, costs you more than money.
Our model is built on trust and shared risk, that’s why we are 38% cheaper compared to a traditional agency.

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.
