Concorde

Concorde is a specialist recruitment agency focused on sourcing exceptional e-commerce and digital commerce talent for consumer and retail brands across Europe. Founded by experienced practitioners including Tim Riensema, Jons Janssens, and Martin Samsa, Concorde combines digital expertise, headhunting, and rigorous pre-screening to help brands connect with proven professionals who drive measurable business impact. Unlike traditional recruiters who learn about digital roles from job descriptions, Concorde's team comprises e-commerce practitioners first and talent scouts second, having built and scaled the teams they now help clients hire. This hands-on experience means they understand what real digital talent looks like and can identify candidates who have genuinely delivered results.

Concorde specialises in recruiting across the full spectrum of digital commerce roles, covering the PEDMAC framework which encompasses Platform, Engineering, Design, Marketing, Analytics, and Content capabilities. They source talent for senior digital positions including Chief Digital Officers, E-commerce Directors, Heads of Growth, Performance Marketing Managers, CRO Specialists, Product Owners, Retention Marketing Leads, Data Analysts, and UX Designers. The recruitment agency maintains relationships with professionals from the top 250 consumer and retail brands across Europe, enabling them to reach passive candidates who are not actively job hunting but are open to the right opportunity with leading brands.

Concorde operates primarily across Europe with a strong presence in the Benelux region and an expanding network spanning top brands throughout the continent. The company is headquartered in Amsterdam at Keizersgracht 633, where clients can visit their boardroom to discuss their digital talent needs. Concorde differentiates itself through rapid candidate presentation, typically delivering two to three qualified candidates within a few working days, combined with deep capability assessments and a replacement guarantee. Their two-sided evaluation process, which assesses both candidate fit and team readiness, significantly reduces mis-hire risk compared to traditional recruitment approaches, whilst their strategic advisory services through partner Conway and Co help brands optimise their entire digital operating model for growth.
