Controller Recruitment

Controller Recruitment B.V. is a recruitment company that places financial specialists, working across both werving en selectie and interim assignments for Controllers in the Amsterdam region. It was set up by Koen Muller, who has worked in recruitment since March 2021 and runs the business from his own company. Muller grew up in Noord-Brabant in an entrepreneurial family and spent thirteen years in elite sport pursuing a football career before moving into recruitment, and he has now lived in Amsterdam for more than seven years. The company sums up its own character as Amsterdam quality with Brabant level headedness.

The specialisation is tightly drawn. Controller Recruitment handles vacancies and assignments in Financial Control and consolidation, Business Control and FP&A, Project Control, and Financial Management up to MKB and MKB+ level. Its recruiters work from specialism rather than volume, focusing on only a handful of sectors on the principle of quality over quantity, which the company says is where its added value for candidates lies. It serves two audiences directly: managers who cannot find a new colleague or who need temporary expertise, and Controllers looking for a new assignment or a genuinely better job. The company also positions itself for searches described as headhunter finance manager, recruiter for the financial sector and business controller in Amsterdam.

The company works from Vlierweg 12 K-03 in Amsterdam and describes itself as a sparringpartner for Controllers in the Amsterdam region and an extension of client organisations on Controller recruitment. Clients choose it for how it conducts itself: the site leads with the words work honestly, work transparently, work well, work together, and the company commits to openness about tarieven, its fees, and honesty about the recruitment process. Its stated goal is to be a partner for the long term rather than a supplier for a single hire.
