Farrow + Dutch

Farrow + Dutch is a recruitment agency that presents itself as more than a recruitmentbureau, describing its role as a partner in talent werving. The company works on fixed rates agreed before the search begins rather than a no cure no pay arrangement, and it backs every placement with a one year match guarantee, finding a replacement without a further success fee if the hire does not work out. Every candidate is interviewed personally before their profile reaches the client, so employers receive people rather than stacks of CVs. Clients see live which candidates are in play and how the search is running, with periodic sessions to discuss the data and the advice. Alongside permanent placement, Farrow + Dutch offers outsourced recruitment (werving uitbesteden), single vacancy outsourcing, recruitment video production and its own view on the use of AI in hiring.

The agency is organised into twelve vakgebieden, each staffed with its own specialists on the principle that an IT recruiter should not be searching for nurses and a healthcare recruiter should not be searching for DevOps engineers. Farrow + IT covers DevOps, SAP, data engineers and security. Farrow + Public covers beleidsadviseurs, project managers, WMO consultants and lawyers for gemeenten, provinces and executive organisations. Farrow + Digital Marketing covers SEO specialists, content strategists, performance marketers and CRO experts. Further practices span HR, Engineering, Facilities, Finance, Healthcare, Supply Chain, Consumer Goods and Sustainability, plus a dedicated Belgium desk.

Farrow + Dutch works from Maasboulevard in Maastricht and now serves more than 220 clients in the Netherlands and Belgium, from the Zuidas to the High Tech Campus and from Brightlands to Brussels, and from multinationals through to gemeenten. It reports over 1,000 matches, 95 percent of which are still in post after a year, and more than 300 reviews at an average score of 4.8. Searches go live within 24 hours of the intake.
