Loovas

Loovas is a recruitment firm that fills hard-to-fill vacancies through talent search and executive search. It searches actively for candidates and approaches them directly with a specific message about the position. The client decides together with the firm whether each candidate is contacted, and the firm analyses data from the search to give insight into the labour market. It says it searches for an average of 108 candidates per project.

The firm says it has experience in high-tech, aerospace, sustainable industry, manufacturing, ICT, transport, trade, health-tech, and accounting and finance. It also helps fill temporary positions, and its roles range from specialist engineers at start-ups to commercial directors at large multinationals.

Loovas recruits in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany from its office in Valkenswaard, near Eindhoven in the Brainport region. It also arranges residence permits for highly educated migrants from outside the European Union, who then work for clients as seconded staff, and takes care of the expat or 30% ruling. The firm was founded by Idsart van Assema.
