He always gave honest feedback and advises, and kept me posted on the progress. I am really grateful to him for answering any doubts I had, especially since my job was in another country. For the professionalism and dedication, Search X Recruitment showed me; If I wanted a new job, I definitely will knock their door.

Joost is professional and friendly and I highly recommend getting in touch with him if you’re searching for a job in IT.”
Ori – .NET Developer“I got acquainted with “Search X Recruitment” while I was actively looking for positions in the Netherlands. In fact, the company’s website was very usable and well designed and allowed me to search for many interesting positions but what attracted me the most is the chat feature the website has, which allowed me to enter in direct interaction with Ernst Jan Berger (one of the co-founders). He asked for my CV and promised me to get back to me whenever a suitable position was active. This was the case a couple of weeks later. I was informed of a very interesting position and my process has been handled by Joost van der Laan ever since then (one of the co-founders). Joost assisted throughout the whole process and made sure that everything is clear and transparent to me. What I also liked a lot is the fact that Joost helped me to exactly get the salary that I wanted (that corresponds to my skills and experience) during the negotiations with the company. Given all that I mentioned, I, wholeheartedly recommend “Search X Recruitment” for your job hunting, you will have the chance to deal with serious and professional people that will help achieve your job search goals.”

All of the people that I was in contact with, during my job application procedure, were very kind and more than happy to help with anything I needed. They tried to find the best match for me, even though I wanted to continue my career in a field in which I do not have any professional experience. I believe that is a point in which most recruiters would give you a “No”. Instead, they provided guidance through the whole hiring process and were on top of things at every moment. They gave me a feeling that there was someone having my back and that I was not alone in it, for sure. It was very refreshing working with them and I would definitely recommend. Forever grateful.”
Lana Hajro – Java Developer“Great club to work with. Honest and to-the-point. Great to be well matched.”

If you are in those guys’ hands and they said they will get something nice to you, STICK WITH THEM. Forget any other recruiters, they are the ones that will land you a great position in the IT field in the Netherlands. If someday I decide to return to the job market, they will be the first agency I’ll check with!”

“From the first moment, I realized that Joost and Ernst’s working method was different from what I had seen so far. Their goal is to find the perfect match between company and candidate. Because they know customers very well and they really immerse themselves in the customer, they can explain their vacancies well. Because they visit all their customers they know very well how to convey the atmosphere and culture. More importantly, they can empathize with the candidate who is moving from abroad to the Netherlands as a highly-skilled migrant. They have given me a lot of information and advice. “

Based on my experience, I recommend the Search X Recruitment to find a new career move.”
Muhammad Usman – Java Developer“I had a great experience with Search X Recruitment while searching for a new role in my career. Joost and Ernst are really professional during all steps in hiring.

You will NOT face indifferent treatment as you can face in a large recruitment company from a hired recruiter. Ernst is amazing! I spent a lot of time talking with him and he helped me a lot with the understanding of life in the Netherlands: pension programs, insurances, best ways to travel from home to work and much more! Good job, thank you!”
Pavel – .NET DeveloperSearch X Recruitment has been incredibly helpful in finding me a job based on my personal characteristics and needs. They have managed to find me three potential offers within a week and, after another week, an official offer from a Utrecht’s company. Well done!
Giampaolo Falqui – PHP Developer
“In my search for new talent for my divisions, I went looking for a partner to help me out in this difficult market. After some searching, I found a “young” company in Amstelveen. I wanted the first introduction to take place at the potential recruiting company to determine immediately whether the atmosphere, the surroundings, the fit with the “recruiters” would be there. The feeling was immediately good because both the image of the company, as well as the owners connected to the target group of the new colleagues who I was looking for. The search is not so much “their” or “my” action. Recruiting is hard work on both sides. It has to do with dedication, feel and understand each other and the speed of action is the key to success. The first results are there, the future is promising.”
One of the most outstanding recruitment partners I have worked with. Dedicated, personal and with respect for all parties they make sure the right candidate will have the next best step in his personal journey and add value to your company. PS. Knowledge of the stacks out there is also great!
“Search X Recruitment has a very professional, focused, but at the same time personal approach. Working with them is very pleasant and effective.”

Jan Dirkzwager – S&D Interactive Media
I asked Search X Recruitment to place a number of developers at my former employer ING and now at Basecone. Joost and Ernst Jan have a huge database of good profiles with the right skills across Europe, which means they can qualify three qualified In addition, Search X Recruitment helped me to take a new step in my career, they were very involved and offered a number of good options – in short, if you are looking for good profiles and enthusiastic people who help you with this you are at the right place at Search X Recruitment.
What I find so strong about Search X Recruitment is that it’s not just about the result. I expect every recruitment specialist to find a suitable candidate sooner or later, that’s their job. Where Search X Recruitment really makes the difference for me is the way to the right match compared to other recruitment specialists. With Search X Recruitment I really have to deal with a cooperation partner, together we search for every vacancy and candidate for the right way to make the match based on open communication and trust: we understand each other, know what we can expect from each other and that not only makes it pleasant to work together, but also ensures that we learn from each other, the process keeps getting better and the services are getting faster and faster. Search X Recruitment also knows how to represent us as an organization in the job market towards candidates, and this combination results in where it ultimately comes to go; good assumptions.
