De Professionals

De Professionals is a Dutch recruitment company based in Amstelveen, specialising in mortgage and pension appointments alongside the wider financial services, fintech and technical markets. It places both permanent and temporary professionals, and works from a stated principle that the network determines the success of a search.

The company offers three distinct services. Exclusive Search addresses positions requiring specific skills, vacancies that have proved difficult to fill, and recruitment processes that have stalled, all of which call for a targeted approach rather than volume advertising. After discussion and research into the market, De Professionals agrees the objective and the plan of attack with the client, working from the conviction that a suitable candidate always exists. Interim Recruitment supplies an experienced interim recruiter who translates the capacity requirement from the line into clear role profiles, takes them to market, manages the recruitment process and closes with HR and the hiring manager. It also advises organisations on recruitment projects.

De Professionals works across the Netherlands from its Amstelveen base, covering technical roles, financial services and fintech, with mortgage and pension expertise as its core specialisation. The business is run by named consultants, Jasper Heikens and Remco Schmitz, both directly contactable, which keeps a search with the person who took the brief rather than passing it down a team. For employers with a vacancy that has already failed to fill through conventional routes, that combination of a defined search method and direct access to experienced consultants is what De Professionals offers.
