Why Most Companies Struggle To Find The Right People
The best people have jobs and aren't looking on LinkedIn. We find them anyway, and show them why they should join you.
Hiring the wrong person costs you 6-12 months... Of lost projects, wasted salary, and team frustration. And then you have to start over.
We find candidates who want to join your company because they believe in your purpose. Even if they're not actively looking for a job and usually ignore recruiters.

Here's how we find you top candidates in 8 weeks:
Your time: 60 min
01
We define the unique reason why great employees should choose you.
Great employees don't switch jobs for salary alone.
They need a reason to make the switch.
We define the deeper purpose behind your company and build it into a campaign that positions you as the best place for your ideal candidates to work.
Top candidates aren't looking for a job vacancy, they want a mission to join.
Your time: 60 min
02
We show candidates what it's really like to work for you.
Top candidates need to "feel" what your company is like before they'll apply.
A regular job post can't do that.
We make cinematic recruiting videos and photography that shows your team in the best light and sets you apart from every other employer in your region.
When done right, this is one of the most powerful ways to attract top candidates.
Your time: 0 min
03
We reach the right candidates where they actually spend time.
We go find them, because they aren't going to look for you.
We run targeted advertising campaigns on social media to reach the right people, and show them the story, purpose, and team behind your company.
Your time: 10 min
04
Candidates apply directly to your company, not a common recruiter pool or network.
We take candidates to a beautifully designed recruiting page that tells the story and purpose of your company and gets them to apply.
Your time 30 min per interview
05
Your top candidates, screened, filtered and ready.
We filter, pre‒interview, and test every applicant on skills, values, attitude, and purpose fit.
You only meet the best candidates: high performers who believe in your company and want to stay in your team for the long‒term.
All you do is interview and choose who to hire.
“But what if the new hire is a bad fit?” We replace at no extra cost.
Belgium's new law allows a 7-day notice period for new permanent contracts. After month 6, severance scales sharply with CAO 109, making bad hires even more expensive.
How the guarantee works:
No guarantee
Hesitation between months 3-6 because you don't want to pay a recruiter again...
No guarantee
We replace new hires in the first 6 months at no extra cost.
Don't let recruiter fees get in the way of making the right decision.
We only do 10 active searches per quarter.

We send a stream of candidates until you meet the perfect one.
We don't stop searching after 8 weeks if you still want more candidates.
If the first set of candidates don't meet your requirements, we adjust our approach and keep searching until the right ones are found.
2
Speak with us any time, 7 days/week.
You can call, message or email us any day of the week (even Sundays). Try it, we’ll answer.
Whether it’s a question about a specific candidate, an update on your search, or anything else - we’re here as a true recruiting partner.
3
Your company becomes impossible for the best candidates to ignore.
The strongest candidates judge a company in seconds. We film your team and workplace on the same cameras that Netflix productions use.
Top candidates have options, so what makes them choose you is seeing the people and purpose behind the job. It's a big part of why we're able to reach people who never answer ordinary headhunters or recruiters.
4
You get a custom career page that convinces the best candidates instead of losing them.
Most career pages just list the vacancy, benefits and requirements.
This is where companies lose a lot of good candidates, because it doesn't show the company, purpose, and team in the best possible light.
We make you a custom page that makes your vacancy look like the most interesting job in the industry, without any work needed on your side.
Who is behind Purpose Recruiting?
About Purpose Recruiting
Purpose Recruiting helps growing SMEs across Benelux hire the people other recruiters can't find.
We don't search databases or recycle the same candidates every headhunter has already called.
We build a fresh candidate pool for every company we work with by using employer branding, storytelling, and targeted searches that make top performers want to join you.
Most of our clients come to us after 2-3 recruiters failed to fill the role. We exist to prove there's a better way to hire.
Is this right for your company?
Purpose Recruiting isn't for everyone. Here's who we work with, and who we don't.
Not a good fit
You just want some CVs from a database.
We don't have one, we build a fresh set of top candidates for each company we work with.
You're looking for an interim hire or temporary solution.
We specialise in permanent hires who want to stay 3-5+ years.
You just need a role filled cheaply, and you'll settle for the first halfway decent candidate you see.
We optimise for quality above everything. If you take the first warm body, we're not the right fit.
Good fit for Purpose Recruiting
Your company has 20-50+ employees and is growing.
The right hire pays for themselves many times over.
You have strong margins or serve high-value clients. One great hire can add €100K-€500K in value to your business.
You can move fast on the right candidate.
When we send you profiles, you can schedule interviews within days, not weeks or months.
You want people who believe in your company and will stay for years.
Not mercenaries chasing the highest salary. We find people who want to be part of something meaningful.
