Skills Based

Skills Based is a Dutch recruitment bureau that works entirely according to the principles of skills-based hiring. Rather than focusing on CVs or educational credentials, the company prioritises the ability of a professional to contribute today and grow with the organisation tomorrow. Skills Based recruits and selects professionals from recent graduates to experienced mid-level professionals based on validated assessment methods shown to deliver the best results. The company's approach was developed in collaboration with scientists, CEOs, and experienced HR professionals.

Skills-based hiring extends beyond traditional recruitment, with results demonstrating 82 per cent satisfaction among employers using skills-based hiring, 53 per cent of organisations removing degree requirements to reach more talent, and 71 per cent finding that skill tests better predict performance than CVs or work experience. The company works exclusively for clients, meaning candidates are presented only to their assigned employer with no competition between agencies. Skills Based operates on a no-match, no-cost basis, eliminating risk for employers.

Located in Rotterdam (Stationsplein 45, 3013 AK Rotterdam, Cambridge Innovation Center), Skills Based specialises in IT and Data, Finance, Engineering, Supply Chain, HR, Legal, Marketing and Communication, Government, Sales and Commerce sectors. The company supports both employers seeking candidates and professionals looking to advance their careers. Placements can be completed within two weeks from screening to placement.
