I’m often asked how I find candidates without posting job ads. 🤔 It wasn’t always like this, but nowadays, we receive applications every week from candidates who are referred to us by friends, family, colleagues, or even employment offices (RAV 😉). Others discover us through LinkedIn or our website. This is fantastic, and I’m really happy that we’re continuously growing our network 🌐🔗🧩. At the same time, we actively reach out to candidates on LinkedIn and engage with them to include them in our network. 🤝
However, we have to be very consistent when it comes to our areas of focus 🎯. To avoid raising false expectations or hopes on either side, we unfortunately also have to turn down candidates whose profiles don’t align with our fields of expertise—even when they’re incredibly interesting profiles.

Why We Focus on Building a Strong Network
For me personally, our focus on networking is a key success factor. It takes a lot of effort because we engage with candidates even when we don’t have a suitable mandate at the moment, and we are always available to provide advice and tips for our network. But this “give and take” creates a sustainable and appreciative collaboration.
For us, this means we can always approach exciting candidates in our network directly and without complications, offering them job opportunities that match their profiles. What’s great about this is that it works both ways. The more talents join our network and the better we get to know them, the more accurately we can match them with companies and help businesses quickly and successfully fill their positions.
Our Recipe for Success
Our focus on networking is not just a strategy but a core belief. It’s a collaboration based on mutual respect that creates the greatest possible value for everyone involved in the long term. If you’d like to become part of our network, we’d be delighted to hear from you! 📧
On our website we have consciously decided against gendering. We see no reason whatsoever to emphasise differences when it is actually about recognising everyone as equal. We see and value everyone as an individual, regardless of gender and for us everyone is equal and equally welcome.
