ONTAPE

ONTAPE (trading as OnlyTalentedPeople) is a Dutch recruitment company specialising exclusively in placing Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants, Management Assistants, Office Managers, and Private Assistants. The firm operates offices in Eindhoven and Amsterdam, with a tagline of 'Only Talented People' reflecting their focus on quality-first placement rather than volume. They serve executives, entrepreneurs, and organisations seeking support staff at C-level and management levels.

The company matches candidates based on broader criteria than CV alone, emphasising drive, working style, and cultural fit. ONTAPE operates with one dedicated point of contact for each client, ensuring continuity and understanding of individual client needs. The firm promises rapid placement, with stated ability to fulfil vacancies within three weeks, and has successfully matched over 500 assistants with employers. They maintain a large network of experienced top-level assistants and employ rigorous screening processes to manage expectations and deliver candidates who will succeed in their roles.

ONTAPE differentiates through specialist focus and personal service model. Rather than operating as a generalist staffing agency, they concentrate exclusively on professional assistant roles where culture fit, working style, and communication are critical success factors. The firm emphasises that they onboard candidates into relevant sectors and work styles, ensuring both employer and employee understand expectations clearly from the outset.
