Ivy Professionals

IVY Professionals, which trades as IVY Pro, is a recruitment company built around the slogan Klim hogerop met IVY, meaning climb higher with IVY. The company places professionals and young professionals with what it calls the finest organisations in the north of the Netherlands. IVY speaks to the most interesting northern companies on a daily basis about culture, development opportunities and leadership styles, which it says puts it in a perfect position to help a candidate find their ideal next step. The company argues that the larger agencies in the Randstad cannot always give candidates the time and attention they deserve. Its shorthand for that position is Stay north? Go IVY.

IVY organises its work into three vakgebieden, or specialist fields. In Finance it places professionals who help a range of organisations work in a future-focused way, from fintech startups and mkb businesses through to multinationals and non-profits. In Legal it places lawyers, known for the small print, who bring their expertise to bear through practical legal advice on client assignments. In Technology it places professionals working in IT, information management and data analytics, aimed at candidates who grew up with current technology and want to prepare organisations for the future. Alongside these fields the company carries out werving en selectie work for employers, and publishes its terms and conditions for that service on the site.

IVY works with employers across the north of the Netherlands, a region it describes as having a great many strong organisations and a large talent hub built around the RUG and several universities of applied science. Its argument to clients is that this talent speaks a new language and generally finds its way back to the Randstad too quickly, even though it will be indispensable in the coming years as technology changes business for good. IVY helps northern organisations prepare for that future by connecting young talent to them, and in a particularly scarce labour market it helps clients speak the language of the future so they can inspire and attract the right person.
