Roel van Zutphen

Had the pleasure of being in contact with Siliën for a new role. He immediately stood out compared to other recruiters and maintained direct and crystal-clear communication throughout the whole process. If you are looking for a new role, this is definitely your place to go!

Andrew Linnett

I first met Chris in May this year. Not your standard recruiter, as Chris took the time to truly understand what drives me personally and what good looks like in terms of aligning family with a high-performance culture. Throughout the interview process, I was well informed every step of the way and when he committed to get back to me, he did every time and on time. Excellent experience all round and I would highly recommend Chris and Bluebird.

Marcus Lovfors

Professional approach, Johan guided me through the process and ensured made me feel like I was on top of things throughout the recruitment.

Tilman F

Had an outstanding experience with Johan at Bluebird Recruitment! From the moment he reached out to me, he was incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in finding the perfect role for me. He took the time to understand my skills, career goals, and preferences, ensuring a great fit with potential employers. The process was smooth, transparent, and efficient, with regular updates and guidance throughout. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-notch recruitment support!

Jordi Wiegerink

Caroline showed great interest in my wishes and helped me throughout the entire recruitment process. Always available and clear in her communication. Her professionalism and experience made it easy to work with. It really felt like a team effort which resulted in a great match between my new employer and me. Thanks for everything!

Daniel Schmidt

Frans took great care of me throughout the entire process. The team’s professional approach and consistent communication made the experience seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Bluebird for their dedication and expertise in finding the perfect fit. Excellent service all around!

Kev

I had the pleasure of landing an incredible new role with another tech company all thanks to the recruiter Lydia Gommans. I would give her 10 out of 5 stars as she went above and beyond. I am already on week 2 of the new job and absolutely love my new team, and the pay bump over my last role is pretty nice too! Can’t thank her enough for walking me through all of the interview steps, giving me guidance, then even helping me navigate negotiate my offer. Thank you!

Norah Venance

I have worked with Lars throughout my whole application process. He is incredibly helpful, supportive, and responsive. I highly recommend Bluebird to anyone seeking to find the right company, a structured process and constant support.

Dana Wikstedt

It was an absolute pleasure working together with Siliën.

After 5 years at my previous company, I decided to find a new adventure. I once received a LinkedIn message from Siliën so I booked a meeting with to explain what I was looking for. He toned interested, listened well and after the first meeting he with confidence said, I know the company for you. He hit the nail in the head and I couldn’t be happier.

The process went smoothly and Siliën was a great partner with tips and advice along the way. Thank you again for your help!

Acelya Top

I had the pleasure of working with Lars from Bluebird and had a fantastic experience. Lars’s process is incredibly transparent and structured, making it easy to know what to expect at each step.

Lars provided exceptional support, offering valuable advice and resources that helped me prepare thoroughly for interviews. His insights were key in successfully positioning myself.

I highly recommend Lars to anyone seeking a professional and supportive recruiter who genuinely cares about your success.

Sylvia Kerscher

From a candidate point of view I am absolutely fascinated by the collaboration of the Bluebird team.

Previously Adriaan and now Frans have been extremely clear in their communication, always on point and super helpful. The entire journey, which was very short, was extremely pleasant.
I can highly recommend Bluebird from a candidate point of view.

A. K. Davies

Three weeks ago, I was made redundant from my previous employer due to an org re-structure. For the first two weeks, I was lucky to have met 16 different organisations, half of which were led by external recruitment agencies. That’s the good news.

The bad news is that most of the external recruiters that I was working with were awful. Not that they didn’t get me to final rounds or offers, most of them did. No instead some of these recruiters half-jokingly half-seriously told me to stop interviewing with other organisations as they had invested their time into me. While other recruiters tried to manipulate me by saying, “You have by today COB to tell me if you’d accept the role otherwise I’m going to give it to one of the other two candidates,” to find out a day later that I was the only candidate going for the role.

I had worked with external recruitment agencies before in the past 14 years of my professional career, some of which were good and others were bad. But this experience in my first two weeks out of employment brought me to the point to decide that I was no longer going to work with recruiters, regardless of how great the potential roles were.

Just as I was about to wash my hands, along came Chris from Bluebird recruitment agency.

Bluebird was completely different from the other agencies that I’d worked with. Principal ANZ Consultant, Christopher Georgiades and Managing Partner, James Bergl genuinely invested their time into the recruitment process with this particular opportunity. From speeding up the recruitment process and providing tangible advice, to doing role-play demonstrations and workshops to ensure every round I was successful.

Throughout the entire two week recruitment process with Bluebird, I felt just as valuable and a priority as the organisation they were representing. Not only that, but instead of pushing the role onto me so they can close the deal quicker, James and Chris wanted to make sure that the role was aligned to my expectations and values. They recommended if this particular role wasn’t aligned, that was perfectly okay and to potentially look elsewhere that would be a good fit. All of this done in a consultative way.

Thanks to James and Chris from Bluebird, I was able to land the role and ensure every aspect was aligned to exactly what I was expecting. Moving forward, if I’m ever in the market again, my first thought isn’t to simply apply for jobs and speak to recruiters. No, my first decision will be to contact Bluebird.

Chris, James, you’ve changed my perspective on recruitment agencies and you’ve changed my career growth journey for the better. I cannot thank you enough, but hopefully a lasting friendship will be good in return.

Jeroen Jansen

Being able to find an absolute top job within a week. Very good experience…

Boudewijn van den Berg

Had a very good experience with Bluebird and specifically with Marc. Thank you!

Kessr Ali

Chris G in Sydney was very supportive during the interview process and was more than happy to provide interview prep. Thank you Chris, it was a straightforward process.

Kamalika Patra

Dennis approached me for an amazing role right when I had been considering stepping into a new challenge. Throughout, I felt guided, supported and kept in the loop, which gave grounding in the exciting but uncertain hiring process.

During the interviews I was positively shocked how well the company fit my personality and hopes, and I daresay it was a mutual feeling. No question, the professionals at Bluebird know what they are doing! Not only do they have the technical understanding but also eye for the people involved – an irreplaceable asset to any hiring party and searching candidate.

Dennis has been an absolute champion through and through and I recommend Bluebird 100%!

Caroline Korteweg

Co-Founder & CEO @ Uncover

Uncover worked with Bluebird to find its first sales hire, an extremely important role. Bluebird’s distinctive approach of hiring recruiters who have hands-on experience in the roles they recruit for, is unique and extremely valuable. The collaboration has been great, the people are kind and hard working, with Bluebird connecting us with highly suitable candidates within just a few days. Their advice on questions to ask, proposal to make, and what to focus on was also extremely useful. Would definitely work with them again.

Rick van den Bosch

Founder & CEO @ Channext

Bluebird’s unique proposition to only hire recruiters who’ve done the job themselves is what convinced me to work with a recruitment agency for the first time in 10 years of entrepreneurship. The collaboration has been top notch, where Bluebird was able to get us in front of strong fit candidates within a matter of days. Highly recommended to work with Bluebird!

Torie Runzel

VP of People @ Horizon3.ai

I am the VP of People at Horizon3.ai, a ~150 person Series C company with a small international team. We used Bluebird to hire a head of our EMEA business (Director/VP level was the mandate) and we interviewed opportunistic AE candidates. We worked directly with Silien and Lydia. We had a fantastic experience – they sent us well vetted, experienced candidates that were right on target from an experience and comp perspective. With each candidate, they sent a very thoughtful summary with all of the details we would need to review a candidate before interviewing them. They were incredibly fast in getting us high quality candidates and the whole process took about 4-6 weeks from kick-off to hire. We would love to work with them again and would consider them for roles at any level.

Daniel Schneider

VP Sales @ PowerUs

We worked with Bluebird on filling several sales roles. Since previous experience with recruiting agencies was underwhelming, I was sceptical to say the best. However, Bluebird came highly recommended by an advisor. 2 months later: boy did they deliver. I was impressed by their speed and also the quality of the candidates. We hired 2 sales leaders and 8 AEs in 7 weeks. Ramp for some is still going on and so far it looks very promising for all. We continue to work with Bluebird and don’t plan to stop.

Marco Mielenz

Founder's Associate @ Tacto

We partnered with Bluebird on many roles, from Sales to Engineering – can highly recommend!

Rowan Kraak

Amazing experience. I had a good relationship with my recruiter and he was very involved with every step I took. We maintained fast feedbackloops and I’m happy to announce that I found a new employer after only 2 months. A massive shoutout to Siliën for guiding me on this journey.

Michael Dickmann

Great support from Elvin Kingma, full recommendation. Helped me to be prepared and to find the job I was looking for, thank you!

Jacqueline Rückle

From the very first meeting, I was impressed by Elvin’s interest, expertise and in-depth knowledge of the field. He clearly understands the industry and knows what he is talking about.

Elvin took the time to understand what I’m looking for and even though we didn’t matched for the first position, he came back to me with a new opportunity that was absolutely perfect. He supported me throughout the entire process, always being really approachable, supporting and ensuring that I got the best possible outcome.

Thank you, Elvin, for your dedication and exceptional support. You’re on top of your game!

MentariProductions

From Zero to Hero! After months of struggling in finding a job in the Netherlands, I came into contact with Bluebird and they channeled me to a job opportunity in SaaS sales within no time. I had amazing support from finding the right opportunity, to getting assistance in the application process and the contract negotiation. The overall process from start to signing the contract took me just 5 weeks!

Totally recommend for anyone who’s thinking going into SaaS sales or finding a new job, to get into contact with Bluebird.

Nathan Atkins

James was a pleasure to work with and was able to help guide me into my new role. He constantly followed up and provided good liasons between myself and the company that was looking to hire me. Cant recommend him and bluebird more highly.

Kerstin Labusga

Talent Acquisition Partner @ simpleclub

We are incredibly impressed with the services provided by Bluebird. Their expertise and dedication have significantly contributed to our team’s growth and success. They are very knowledgeable and work quickly and effectively. I highly recommend working with them!

Marc Hillander

Had a great experience with Johan even if I didn’t got hired though them. I could recommend him to everyone who wants to hire world class talent in sales in the Nordic.

Michael Malcher

Absolute pleasure working with Lars. It started from the first call which he initiated after I applied to one of Bluebird’s roles. Lars showed me different opportunities where my skillset fits and ultimately I couldn’t have been supported better throughout the process as with Lars. Today I reached an aggreement with my next employer. After every interview Lars was always close on the process and asked me how I felt about the interview and the company as a whole. Coming from a person like myself who now has worked 3 years in recruiting, I can just congratulate Bluebird on having Lars.

Carlos Jeer

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lars during a recent transition. Throughout the process, his communication was impeccable, providing clear and timely updates that kept me well-informed. What truly sets Lars apart is his respectful demeanor, open communication, positive attitude and professionalism. I highly recommend working with him!

Konrad Geiger

Co-Founder @ PowerUs

Bluebird played a huge part in the growth of our sales team. From the first application on I was extremely impressed by their quality and subsequentially to be able to scale that with us as well. If you’re looking to scale your sales teams, Bluebird is the way!

A Else

Bluebird helped me land a great AE role in a scaling tech company. And later on in my career they assisted me again but this time hiring for the team I was building at the same company.

They helped me hunt for candidates in a challenging new location and brought great people forward! Thanks team!

Brian Levin

Chief Customer Officer @ Panaseer

I worked with Machiel and Ash to hire a Global VP of sales at Panaseer. I have worked with many recruiters before but Bluebird differentiated itself with a team of career sales leaders who now focus in recruiting, rather than traditional recruiting career people.

The difference was clear. It meant better candidates (they recruit from a peer perspective and speak their language), better qualification (they could screen like former sales leaders), and better close (they were able to help us close the right candidate). As I have looked for recruiters in other parts of our business, I now look for other using this model of former practitioners.

Juliette Gauthier

Marc has been outstanding throughout this entire recruitment process. His expertise and dedication were evident from the start, and he made every step incredibly smooth and stress-free. We connected a few months back, and his SaaS and marketing background, as well as his excellent listening skills was super helpful in finding the best opportunities.

You can see that he is really passionate and hard-working, and it pays off. The entire process was fast and efficient, and I found myself with a new job within a month. I am truly impressed by him and highly recommend Marc and Bluebird to work with!

Thank you so much for your help and hard work! 🙂

Arthur Vrolijk

Always had only good experiences with Bluebird! Siliën has helped me tremendously lately! Recommended for both clients and candidates!

Boudewijn Dekker

VP Sales @ Workwize

Bluebird has helped us hire some great talent over the years. They are really flexible and adapt to your workflow and needs seamlessly.

Yannick Kok

Sr Manager Business Development @ OneStream Software

Siliën did an awesome job in our hiring process. He was able to deliver great candidates fast and had a very good relationship with all of them.

Jeroen de Jong

Sales Leader @ HiBob

I have had great experiences with Machiel and the rest of the team, both as a hiring manager and as a candidate. They understand exactly what it takes to be successful within SaaS. Their professionalism, insight into the market and personal approach make the entire process smooth and pleasant.

Jimmy Wind

Co-Founder & CTO @ VirtualMetric B.V.

I have been working with Bluebird for 6 months now and they have provided 4 excellent new Sales and Marketing hires for my Software company, VirtualMetric.
They are very knowledgeable, work fast, and do a great job of making candidates enthusiastic. And the candidates they propose all have good qualifications and the all-important culture fit. Last but not least fun people to work with!

Sacha Newell

Can’t have had a more positive experience! Chris was an absolute legend from the beginning of the process to the end. I felt like he was really on my team, and was putting in work behind the scenes to make sure the role I landed in was the best fit for me. Recommend his services to anyone wanting a Saas Sales role. Thank you!

Maria Sikkal

I had the chance to work with Elvin who accompanied and supported me throughout the process! Thanks to his advice and kindness I was able to get the job I wanted! thanks again.

Yadnyesh Shirwadkar

James B. was the best to deal with. There was clear communication on job profile and the candidate the company was after. James was involved in every communication which made process smooth sailing!!

Simon O’Kane

Chief Revenue Officer @ Yokoy

Great service – rapid supply of high quality candidates and full support at all stages of the process.

Daniël

While I was looking for work I was approached by Siliën from Bluebird. He almost immediately came up with a well-suited vacancy. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out right away with the first employer, but Siliën quickly built up a bond with me. I then told him what preferences I had and Siliën took this well. What you often see is that recruiters keep ramming unwanted vacancies down your throat, but Siliën was a lot more professional. At one point he came up with a vacancy that I was not immediately enthusiastic about, but because of his good explanation I said, go ahead, there is something in it, just imagine. And yes, this was it too. I am very happy with my new position and would like to thank Siliën very much for this. I hope that we will always stay in touch should we need each other and I can absolutely recommend Bluebird and Siliën to anyone looking for a position in the SaaS. It can only help.

Jane Harte

Silien was so so helpful every step of the way! Interviewing for a role can always be time consuming and stressful but Bluebird made life a lot easier! Thanks team, for all your help 🙂

Eunice Li

Marc is the best! I connected with him before and a few months later he came back with an opportunity that fits perfectly for me and the role. I am shocked how smooth it all went and it’s all thank to his sharp eye for fit! Thank you.

Jakub Koscielniak

I landed amazing job and have the best recruting experience, thanks Johan !

Gizmo947

Top help and support from the bluebird staff, especially Siliën, who thinks along, assertive and involved! That’s how you want it!

Mimi Lachnit

I really enjoyed the process with Bluebird. I highly recommend.

Sarwat Imad

Really enjoyed working with Elvin and found a very well fitting job, role and company thanks to bluebird. The 100% positive reviews here are all very justified.

Jack Sharpe

Working closely with Silien, I successfully found my new role within 6 weeks. He aligned my preferences with the various growth companies Bluebird were supporting, and effectively guided me through the recruitment process. Bluebird are definitely well tapped into the Dutch SaaS community which is a huge advantage.

Sven Krueger

Excellent support throughout the whole process.

Riccardo Donadio

Lydia played a pivotal role in connecting me with my new job. Her expertise as a headhunter, coupled with Bluebird’s reputation for excellence, made the job search process efficient and rewarding. I highly recommend Lydia and Bluebird Recruitment to anyone seeking career opportunities.

Louis Bilson

I had the pleasure working with Lars van der Velde. Initially reached out for a different opportunity which wasn’t the right fit for me. Without hesitation Lars knew exactly who to call and saw a right fit for a company based in Berlin. Extremely professional, quick responses. I got the job within a week of first initial call.

Can highly recommend Bluebird.

Colin Buoniello

Really enjoyed working with this team. Professionally, timely, and found me a very great opportunity.

Anne van der Stelt

Siliën was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Giorgio Luparia

CRO @ Oper Credits

Finding quality in recruitment agencies is a challenge. Machiel and team are amongst my few trusted partners.

Eugen Kaiser

Lars was incredibly professional and dedicated. With his help, I found my dream job. Highly recommend him and the agency! Thanks again for everything! 🙏🏻

Ignatius Nothnagel

Dennis is a truly exceptional recruiter, and brings his personal experience in software engineering, as well as his strong people skills and friendly personality to the table to find exactly the right match between candidate and role. I recommend working with him without hesitation.

Philip Mudhir

Ersen was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. I genuinely felt like he balanced the clients needs against my skillset and found the perfect role and company for me. Literally…I didn`t apply for the role I ended up securing, but after speaking with me, he thought I might be a good fit for the company in question.

Bluebird, and more specifically Ersen, are a credit to the industry.

Would definitely recommend.

Lodewijk Hiltermann

I had a great experience with Bluebird and Marc. With his experience in SaaS marketing Marc understands the value of your previous experience and your wishes and comes up with fitting roles. They act fast (if you want), within a week after my first call with Marc I had my first interview, and one week later I found my new challenge. During the process Marc is involved, asks questions, really tries to understand your wishes, is available for consults, and comes with fitting solutions.

I recommend to work with Marc and Bluebird for SaaS marketing positions!

Thomas Verite

Fantastic experience! Silien and I had been in touch for almost a year, trying to find the right company for my next challenge. During this time, he proactively reached out to me with potential opportunities that were always closely related to my expectations. On top of always being professional and reliable, I was also able to trust him when it came to deciding whether an opportunity was the right fit or not.
We ended up finding a perfect fit and I am grateful for his help, advices and expertise all along.

Mariëlle Slingerland

Best recruitment agency! Even though I did not land my new role through with them, the process was everything you could hope from a recruitment consultant and more. Silien was extremely helpful, gave tangible advice and helped me think through what I wanted in my next challenge.

If I’m ever on a job hunt again, they are the first company I will reach out to.

Slga Secretary

I was approached by Dennis van Valderen and found his guidance to be very professional. He ensures that you are well prepared for the conversations and quickly follows up on everything. Thank you, Dennis!

Huub van der Wart

A relief to work with Dennis. No nonsense approach and very good pre-selection due to his technical background. With minimal effort, we found our top candidate within a few weeks.

Axel Pomper

Very professional process! They really know what they are talking about and are able to find a good match for your specific expertise – the focus on SaaS really pays off.
Additionally, they are with you every step of the way and don’t just vanish once the first interview is set up like so many other recruitment agencies.

Tom van der Linden

It was amazing working with Adriaan from Bluebird. Good communication and always there for anything I needed. Highly recommend!

Wouter Hamelink

Great service. Tim immediately found me several roles that matched my interests. Within 2 weeks I got hired! No fluff, fees and unnecessary time spend. Combination of efficiency and interesting job offers.

Anatoliy Savinov

What stands out is the hands-on mentality, always available, super transparent and professional!

Helena Mitchell

Good experience with Marc!

Gosse Gorissen

Found a unique challenge thanks to Dennis from Bluebird.

Pavel Salatiuk

Senior Sales Director @ Vonage

What should I say about Bluebird? It is the same as asking about Bugatti Veyron 🙂 They are the fastest, powerful and delivery ultra high performance. Also, they are very stylish too! I have been working with them for last 5 years and every year they get better and better. Salute & keep on rocking.

Stefan Pravits

Recruiting how it’s supposed to be 👍
Understanding their clients and what they are looking for.

Special thanks to Frans, highly professional, responsive and super helpful 💪

Neil Styles

I have recently been in contact with Ms. Jolijn van der Steur and it is with great pleasure that I say I have rarely worked with a recruiter of her calibre. From her sympathetic disposition to her focus on finding the most suitable role that reflects one´s career, you are in very capable hands both with Ms. van der Steur and with BlueBird.

Seb Charlton

Bluebird are hands down the best recruitment agency for SaaS. Had multiple good experiences, and found the job that I love because of them! Specifically, I had great experiences with Silien, Elvin, and Machiel – they listen and consult, instead of pushing like a lot of recruiters.

Thomas Frisch

Great headhunting without fluff. I’ve received better matches than with any other headhunter (my contact has been Jolijn), which impressed me. Also their process including video pitches with every job lead was a great add-on to the overall great service I’ve experienced.

Raphael Kürner

The processes and high level of expertise make Bluebird Recruitment one of the best recruitment agencies for me. Full transparency and a really suitable selection of high quality jobs were the norm at all times. They negotiated a 27% increase in my fixed salary in my new job.

I have to thank Frans Veldhuizen in particular, who did a fantastic job and whom I can recommend to everyone!

Jean-Philippe Laube

My experience with Bluebird was outstanding. Your professionalism and industry knowledge helped me find a job that perfectly suited my needs. Her understanding of the challenges and opportunities in sales is remarkable. The company has a number of contacts with exciting companies, which proved invaluable. If I start looking for a job again in the future, Bluebird will definitely be my first port of call.

The transparency and speed of their processes was particularly impressive. It was refreshing to work with Adriaan. His targeted approach and sensitivity to only present suitable options made the process extremely pleasant.

In short, Bluebird is undoubtedly the top destination for sales talent placement. Their focus on individual needs, combined with efficient processes and first-class support, makes them an unbeatable partner for professional development in sales.

Bezhan Munavvar

I had a fantastic experience working with Silien from Bluebird. His approach was very personalized, always a moment away from providing help and answers.

Silien also gave great advice and tips throughout the whole process – which from my experience, is not very common from recruitment consultants. The process was very quick, resulting in me finding an ideal next step in my career within a month.

If you’re looking for your first job or your next challenge in SaaS, I would look no further than Bluebird! Also, ask for Silien, he’ll sort you out 😉

Lorenz J. Just

Bluebird is the first address for the placement of top notch sales talents!
The processes are transparent, fast and target-oriented.
I would like to emphasize my experience with Elvin as particularly positive. He only ever presented roles that were exciting for me, kept me up to date and in the end made sure that I found an exciting new challenge.

Twan Duivenvoorden

Have been in contact with Bluebird Recruitment for a number of years.

At Bluebird they listen to your ambition and expectations for your next step. That job or next step may not be available today, but when it is available they will know where to find you.

Thanks Machiel for the guidance and looking forward to great collaboration(s) in the future.

Amazing experience. Siliën Sprenkels is the most competent recruiter I have met yet. Clearly understands SaaS sales, the type of people who work these jobs and what we’re looking for. Supported me throughout the process with solid advice. Efficient, no time waste.

My experience with Elvin and bluebird was fantastic. I felt that Elvin really listened to my goals and was able to put forward really appropriate companies. Incredibly useful also when it came to interview prep. Couldn’t recommend more !

Husam Atty

The team of Bluebird helped me to land an opportunity in Dubai where I always wanted to move to. Extremely professional, and what makes a huge difference is that they have been working in the roles they are recruiting for. So, they understand (better) where you come from and what you be looking for. All in all I can highly recommend them for SaaS businesses. Thanks again team!

Jan Hartmann

Great contacts with exciting industries and companies. You feel very well looked after. Definitely one of my first points of contact if it becomes relevant for me again in the future!

Zyldjian Neidig

Very pleased with Bluebird and Bas in particular. With his experience in SaaS Sales, we spoke the same language and it was very pleasant to work together. Very happy with the new job!

Sebas

I had the pleasure of working with Silien at Bluebird, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. I approached the process with a degree of uncertainty, having never worked with a recruitment agency in my job search, however, Silien’s professionalism and efficiency quickly put my concerns to rest.

I had been yearning to discover the ideal opportunity that would truly align with my aspirations and talents. Silien not only guided me through this journey but also exceeded my expectations in doing so. His ability to set forth clear and realistic expectations was instrumental in providing me with a sense of direction and purpose.

I am deeply appreciative of the professionalism and dedication displayed throughout our partnership. If you are seeking a recruitment agency that delivers results that are truly exceptional, I recommend Silien and the team at Bluebird. Their unwavering commitment to excellence is a testament to their outstanding service.

Maximilian Wittig

Very helpful and professional. They really know the industry well and understand the challenges and opportunities to develop further in sales very well. I was able to find a job through this company that exactly met my needs, so I am very grateful for their service.

Gregory Hertsens

After 2.5 years of working in sales, I was at a crossroads in my early career. Bluebird (Siliën) immediately had an open Saas sales position that warmed my heart, I was very satisfied with the job and the proposal. Good guidance throughout the process, highly recommended 👌🏼!

David Beugelsdijk

Machiel helped me a lot to get a nice job. Clear explanation, good communication and a positive recruiter to work with.

Leonie van der Sleen

Great team with a lot of knowledge of the tech world and the specific companies and roles they’re hiring for. They introduced me to my new employer and am still very happy.

Philip Wassenaar

Good experience in finding and selecting the right new employer. Transparant, professional and quick in follow ups, taking my preferences well into consideration.

Bas Bouter

Professional recruitment agency.

Bas connected with me through LinkedIn and introduced me to several clients. He supported me throughout the entire process, especially when I felt there wasn’t a great fit. He ensured that I was comfortable discussing those concerns.

They truly differentiate themselves by having a sales background and genuinely caring about the people they work with.

Thanks Bas!

Johannes Kaul

I have had absolute top experience with Bluebird. Super fast answers very competent and transparent.

Perfect advice and super matching jobs.

I can only recommend Bluebird and Elvin Kingma.

Super job keep up the good work!

Job Sollman

Machiel is a great team builder and experienced saas leader – good qualities for a recruiter, that you don’t encounter often however.
He immediately understood what I was looking for, and when it was go time we found a perfect match real quick.
Really appreciate that he a) knows his stuff, and b) reads people well and is able to make good connections (not just on cv basis, but also on a personal level).
And his big book of quality companies of course 🙂

Worked with Bluebird both as an employer looking for talent and as a candidate looking for a new Executive role.
Their understanding of what is needed in a role and the speed they have within their international network is unparalleled.

Deniz

I had the pleasure of working with Machiel, who helped me secure my ideal first software sales position. I was impressed by the level of guidance and attention I received throughout the process. I highly recommend Bluebird based on my positive experience.

Antonia Bucher

Frans got an deep understanding of my skills and aspirations. His positive attitude and encouragement have boosted my confidence throughout the hiring process.
I’ve worked with several recruiters before, but his commitment to maintaining transparency and fostering open communication is truly commendable. He always tried to fulfill my expectations (culture, salary and product etc.), and I can only say that I’ll always recommend Frans as a Recuriter and it was a huge pleasure to work with him.

Martin Alamri

Head of Sales @ Udemy

Very happy on both recruiter and candidate side – can highly recommend.

Simon Ovadia

Great experience overall. I was contacted by Elvin on LinkedIn when I was thinking about a change but not actively looking, and the personalized video message convinced me to have a call.
Elvin helped me find a company that is the right fit in terms of culture and flexibility when it comes to location, and even helped with salary negotiations. I can only recommend working with him and his team.

Benedikt Wünscher

Great experience. Would especially recommend Elvin, who know his stuff and was really supportive through the whole process.

Levi Hovinga

Employees with Ex SaaS / sales knowledge. Great company to work with! Friendly team and helpful, especially if you are looking for next steps in your career.

Timo Schick

Amazing service! I definitely can recommend Bluebird!

David Spieker

Good people – you can tell that they have worked in sales themselves and know the positions they provide from the inside. My contact Siliën was very professional, friendly and transparent in communication and collaboration.

Boudewijn

Very professional club with expert knowledge and a personal approach. Very satisfied with the complete collaboration!

Marcel Diercks

Overall excellent experience! Bluebird / Elvin tailored their recruitment exactly to my personal situation and requirements! As an ex Sales person, Elvin knows what he’s talking about and makes you feel understood 100% of the time and is very professionally navigating the process between yourself as a candidate and the company you are interviewing for!
If at any point I‘m in the need for a new job, Elvin & Bluebird are my address to go to! 🙂

Carolina Scrobogna

I receive LinkedIn requests from recruiters as much as the next person. It’s very common to receive standard messages or offers for positions that don’t even match your profile. Elvin stood out to me because he took the time to understand my employment history, asking the relevant questions and putting that real human touch that is rare to see. He found the job where I’m now employed at and I must say: what a great match! Not only I’m happy for the position, but also for the high quality process that Bluebird has delivered. Setting the right expectations and ready to jump on last minute calls. Great job!

Céline Belguendouz

Marc helped me to find my new Marketing position and he was incredibly helpful during the process. I would recommend his expertise to any company looking for their future talents!

Alexei Bezborodov

I had a great experience working with Machiel and Bluebird. After an initial chat in which I outlined what I was looking for in my next role, Machiel came back with an ideal match. The company, stage of growth, role, and leadership were perfectly aligned with what I was looking for! Loved the collaborative and open approach and felt like Machiel genuinely had my best interests in mind throughout the process. His read on the company that hired me was also spot-on as the results of the past year have shown. Thank you!

Thom van der Winden

Super geholpen door Elvin en Bluebird!

Sebastian Kunz

I had the best experience with the team from bluebird. Made switching my job very easy and they knew exactly what I needed during the interview processes and guided me through every step of the way. 100% recommendation.

Brad Cross

Global VP Revenue @ Upflow

I have been very impressed with Bluebird, Especially Machiel. He’s a previous VP Sales himself, so knows how to find good sales and sales leadership talent. He’s placed a number of senior roles and also some juniors with me, all of which were incredibly successful. We’ve saved a huge amount of time on screening because his grasp of our brief has been spot on, and that alone has directly translated into more revenue for the company by not tying the team up in recruitment cycles. 100% recommend.

Jan Dirk Schepers

Approached in a fun and interesting way and guided to my next adventure with a ‘white glove service’!

Mustafa Tapan

Sales Manager @ Kaseya-Datto

I had the pleasure of working with Bluebird that not only placed me at my current position but also assisted our firm in finding suitable candidates. My contact with Machiel stood out as a highlight of the experience; his professionalism and excellent communication ensured a smooth and efficient process. The company’s ability to understand our needs and match them with the right candidates is truly commendable. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of recruitment assistance.

Sharon Eilat

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Bluebird Recruitment, especially for Elvin’s great help! Thanks to their excellent service, I am a Customer Success Manager at Freshworks and I am extremely happy! Elvin really listened carefully to my wishes and understands our industry very well. They deliver top results and I would highly recommend Bluebird Recruitment to anyone looking for a great job. Thank you, Bluebird and Elvin! 🙌👏

Jean-Baptiste Pascal

Just perfect!! Everything that you need and could expect from coach but from a recruter ! Thanks again Elvin.

Alexander Schaschowitz

I had the pleasure to work with Bluebird and felt well taken care of me and my interests throughout the whole recruitment process.

Floris Slager

Much more than just recruitment. Expert and sincere advice! Involved both before and after the recruitment process!

Michiel Geerlings

Head of Sales @ Studytube

Bluebird is our permanent partner in recruitment to achieve our growth target. Young and talented team that understands our issues as a fast growing SaaS business.

Tristan Tammer

Bas Oostenbrink helped me find the perfect opportunity that checked all the boxes.

I would recommend Bluebird to anyone that is looking for a sales role in IT.

Mats Boerstra

Working with Machiel Kunst was great! He helped me land a fantastic job at Algolia. Machiel was supportive throughout the whole process and works with some really cool companies. I’d recommend working with him to anyone!

Joern Heyenrath

I have been working with different recruitment agencies and bluebird distinguishes truly through their consultants who are coming from the tech industry and their impressive speed in applying the search profile. And importantly really cool guys!

Paul Wurmbach

Straight up great work! Marc was super professional and down to earth. Easy to talk to, understood quickly what I was looking for and didn’t stop until I got the role I wanted. He found fitting companies pretty fast and I didn’t have any trouble connecting with them. Well done.

Rik Theijssen

Machiel helpt me find my current role. Because of his background in sales he was able to advice me on the perfect next step. I would recommend anyone looking for their next SaaS sales role to have a chat with Machiel!

Kathi Hi

Amazing team, super easy to work with!

Sören Johansen

Machiel is a very skilled recruiter! The big advantage is that he comes from the SaaS sales world, just like everyone at Bluebird comes from the SaaS sales world. Machiel listens carefully to you when you talk to him and sincerely sees the opportunities for you as an individual. His focus on the candidate’s personal development will take you further in your career! Thanks again Machiel, you are great!

Olav

Top experience with Machiel. Looks carefully at what your wishes and needs are and uses this information to introduce you to a number of companies. During the application process he is always ready to help you with the preparations or to reflect. Also acts quickly.

Bart Broeders

Bluebird, with the invaluable support of Adriaan, has had a very positive influence on my career switch to sales. Adriaan guided me promptly and extremely professionally, allowing me to move on to the next phase of my career with confidence. His knowledge of the market and his own experience in sales have meant that the options he has presented to me are exceptional and I look forward to the opportunities that will soon be open to me. Thanks to Bluebird and Adriaan, I am well prepared to take my sales career to new heights. I can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a reliable partner in finding sales-oriented opportunities.

Laura N.

Anything you could ask for in a recruitment agency. Marc has been a perfect companion on my way toward my new position, being there to answer questions and actively staying in touch at every step.

Jasvant Gadjiedas

Machiel is able to create a good click in a very short period of time. It feels familiar and with his background and experience he knows very well how to make a match at job level and the employer. Of all the recruiters and headhunters, Machiel is by far the best I have met.

Anton Holthaus

Very honest and precise Consulting on how to find a first job and figure out the best possible fit.
Furthermore in helping identifying potential future steps and opportunities.
Very communicative and helpful.

Have a lot of gratitude for Bluebird helping me achieve goals I never dreamt off.

Luc Schneider

Excellent experience with Bluebird as a candidate. Recruiter Bas Oostenbrink took the time to really understand where my ambitions are, to come up with opportunities that fitted perfectly. Together with Bluebird and Bas, I found the perfect sales job in cybersecurity!

Marcel Weiland

Really professional recruiting agency.

Jolijn connected with me through LinkedIn and got me in contact with several companies and supported me throughout the process. Now 3 months into my new job and couldnt be happier.

Niels van Doren

Bas was really responsive and knowledgeable throughout the process. More than one year later, still very happy at the same company.

If Bas drops you a LI message, I’d definitely take a look at it 😉

Marcel

Bluebird is an excellent agency, highly professional, and with a strong network of customers and candidates in the software industry.

Lucas de Bie

Bas listened carefully to my ambitions and experience and then asked questions to complete the picture. What is nice about Bas is his sincerity in searching and thinking about the perfect next step in your career and not just introducing you to one of the many companies for which he has active vacancies. Highly recommended to start a conversation with Bluebird if you are considering a career change!

Mike B

I experienced the contact as very nice and pleasant. Changing employers after 12.5 years is no small feat, but with the personal help and approach of Machiel, I finally made the decision and am now very happy that I persevered. Very special to experience what a different working environment and role can do to someone, I feel completely at home now. Thanks again for the personal and nice help, very happy that our paths crossed.

Osama Sawadi

Best firm I’ve ever worked with. Especially Machiel is an incredible professional, cares about what’s best for you not just what’s best for BlueBird.

Tim Fresen

Great to work with peers, even experts in SaaS, when finding your next opportunity

Bas Gozeling

Would highly recommend Bluebird to anyone looking for a new job in SaaS!

Koen Waasdorp

They get it done

Laura Homann

Transparent and fast communication through the entire application process. I wouldn’t miss the guidance and impulses my headhunter gave me.

Cristina B

Top tier recruiting agency. Machiel and his team are credible, genuine and well connected. I’ve hired amazing talent from this agency, as well as landed dream job opportunities for my own career. Would recommend Bluebird to anyone in sales (hiring or job seeking) 💯

Maxim Sinnema

Great experience at Bluebird, they found a job for me in a short time. Adriaan and Machiel communicate briefly but powerfully. They pay a lot of attention to the wishes of the job seeker. They also have an interesting list of companies they speak to.

Due to their relevant background in sales, they also know exactly what is good for you in terms of development.

Thanks guys! 10/10 recommended.

Shawn Mahadewsing

Machiel and Adriaan are very professional and committed. This gave her and I a good idea of ​​what I wanted and what Machiel and Adriaan could do for me. It was very pleasant to work with you. Thank you for your help and the new career gentlemen!

Bart Steutel

Great company with a very enthusiastic experienced team. The team took a brilliant approach to put all focus on the employee. Gain knowledge on their experience, interests and goals to match a company with. This way the job seeking individual feels that Bluebird is searching for them rather for the company that seeks employees. This approach does cost Bluebird more time compared to other recruiting companies but therefore differentiates themselves. This timely approach ensures that employees find the right fit which results in a higher employee retention for companies. The fee paid to employ an individual found by Bluebird will be spread out over a longer period which results in a better bang for the buck.

I highly recommend working together with Bluebird as a company and a career seeking individual.

Gino Russel

Very glad I’ve met Machiel along my proces of doing interviews. He helped me a lot during that proces by giving me good market insights and info, career advice in Saas and kept me well updated during the weeks of interviews. If you’re looking for a next step in your career or a start in the Saas industry I can definitely recommend him. Keep up the good work!

Sebastiaan Verhaar

CEO @ Sana Commerce

The team at Bluebird possess a hunger that you want to see in your sales team. They are eager and always on top of things. Add on the fact that they have actually done the work of the roles they are filling and you get a very valuable outcome. They are able to fill roles quickly – ranging from individual contributors to senior leadership roles. They even placed me in my current role! We see Bluebird as a key partner to attract top-level talent for us across the globe – they have found over 20 people for us globally and we see them as one of our key partners.

Johan van Mil

Founder @ Peak Capital

Bluebird Recruitment has been a great recruitment agency for our portfolio companies. They consistently deliver top-quality candidates across various roles, from individual contributors to senior leadership, as they really know a great candidate is open to change positions. They have a deep understanding of our industry, ensuring a perfect fit for our companies.

Caroline Mekelburg

CEO @ Amperecloud

We successfully worked with Bluebird to build our Saas sales team at Amperecloud. They analysed very precisely who we were looking for for our team and presented relevant candidate profiles in a short time. Bluebird is equally close in their communication with the candidates and us as a company, which ensures a fast and professional hiring process. As a result, we were able to successfully hire several candidates in a short period of time.

Alex Louisy

CEO @ Upflow

As we started scaling our SaaS business distribution, the VP of Sales position became a critical one. We also knew it would be very hard to find the right person. We needed a partner that could not only help us define the role, but also bring us several high quality candidates. Machiel and his team of former SaaS leaders put their heads together to launch the search at unbelievable speed. Right in line with their value proposition, they introduced us to the ideal candidate seven days after the intake call. He has now been with us for a year and a half and he is the right hire for the role.

Rick van Echtelt

CEO and Co-founder @ AG5

We partnered with Bluebird to hire a CRO. Bluebird’s dedication, expertise, and professionalism stood out during the hiring process. From the initial consultation to the final candidate selection, Bluebird demonstrated a deep understanding of our requirements and the industry landscape. Their team’s ability to source and present a diverse range of highly qualified candidates showcased their commitment to finding the perfect fit for our organization. Ultimately, the quality of the candidates they presented to us was exceptional, making our decision to hire a CRO both exciting and challenging. We found our CRO within 3 months. Moving forward, I have no hesitation in recommending Bluebird to other organizations seeking top-tier executive recruitment services.

Sander Verseput

Founder @ Chainels

After securing our Series A funding round we were looking for an experienced Head of Sales. We assigned Bluebird this task; during a short period of time Bluebird introduced us to various high profile candidates. The process was well structured. We’re happy to have Floris Welman on board for several months now and we’ve seen huge steps forward in our Go To Market strategy and execution. As founders of our SaaS business we now have more time for strategic work, which is great!

John Connolly

Talent Director @ Figma

We were delighted to partner with Bluebird to hire Mareike Busche into our DACH business. Machiel and his team were dedicated to understanding our needs and finding candidates that align perfectly with our company culture which has enabled us to hire an outstanding leader

Wolter Rebergen

Bluebird has been an instrumental partner in accelerating our European recruitment efforts. They are impressive and reliable in all types of client-facing roles, and can be trusted to have a “zero compromise” mindset when looking for talent.

Frederik Kunst

VP Sales @ LogicMonitor

Nothing matches working with a recruitment agency that employs former SaaS sales people and possesses SaaS DNA. These guys understand our business, qualify and deliver the right talent, and do it faster than any search agency in the industry!

Louis Carbonnier

CEO @ Hokodo

Bluebird has been instrumental in setting up our commercial function, including the hiring of our VP Sales. Beyond the headhunting, they provided advice on candidate profile, job description and compensation plan. What amazed me the most was the level of curation of the profiles they put forward. In our first search, we ended up hiring 2 Account Executives instead of one due to the quality of the candidates.

Tigran Petrosyan

CEO @ SuperAnnotate

Working with multiple recruiting firms, Bluebird is arguably top for me when it comes to sourcing the top candidates in Europe that have amazing career records and top university degrees. We were looking for a sales leader in Europe, and we were excited to find one we very much liked.

Niklas Fehrm

Chief Revenue Officer @ Scrive

Bluebird are always quick on the ball and they have always put a lot of pride in trying to deliver what they set out to do. With a good understanding of SaaS B2B and their unconventional methods for attracting candidates, they have managed to add values to our recruitment processes that most other recruitment partners have not been able to.

Martijn Theuwissen

Chief Operating Officer @ Datacamp

Unlike other agencies we worked with, Bluebird does not play the numbers game of overwhelming you with candidates in the hope that one or more make the cut. They truly try to only set you up with candidates that are a match based on the criteria you provided so you do not waste time and you can make a great hire. The velocity by which they work, their long term view and their determination to succeed is what sets them apart.

Farzad Henareh

Chief Commercial Officer @ Studytube

Bluebird understands the SaaS space through a team of professionals with a well balanced variety of backgrounds at successful SaaS businesses. I appreciate the personal approach with candidates and we have been able to fuel our high pace scale up (hiring) plans with some great talent through help from our friends at Bluebird!

Jakob Høholdt

Managing Director @ Sentia

Bluebird drives business with attitude, passion, and insight. Most importantly they connect and match the right pieces in the puzzle through engagement and business understanding in combination with people assessment, understanding of culture in a rare combination with integrity.

Rae Chowdhury

VP Sales @ Datacamp

Working with Bluebird has been great as an exclusive recruiter at Datacamp. As a client we have nuanced asks continuously and they are brilliant at adapting to our needs. This changes month to month depending on our business needs and they will clarify and get on the job to deliver results. Ultimately I’ve enjoyed working with Marc and the rest of the team and looking forward to scaling and recruiting more awesome hires.

John Connolly

Talent Director @ Figma

I am the VP of People at Horizon3.ai, a ~150 person Series C company with a small international team. We used Bluebird to hire a head of our EMEA business (Director/VP level was the mandate) and we interviewed opportunistic AE candidates. We worked directly with Silien and Lydia. We had a fantastic experience – they sent us well vetted, experienced candidates that were right on target from an experience and comp perspective. With each candidate, they sent a very thoughtful summary with all of the details we would need to review a candidate before interviewing them. They were incredibly fast in getting us high quality candidates and the whole process took about 4-6 weeks from kick-off to hire. We would love to work with them again and would consider them for roles at any level.

Sebastiaan Verhaar

We worked with Bluebird on filling several sales roles. Since previous experience with recruiting agencies was underwhelming, I was sceptical to say the best. However, Bluebird came highly recommended by an advisor. 2 months later: boy did they deliver. I was impressed by their speed and also the quality of the candidates. We hired 2 sales leaders and 8 AEs in 7 weeks. Ramp for some is still going on and so far it looks very promising for all. We continue to work with Bluebird and don’t plan to stop.

Daniel Schneider

VP Sales @ PowerUs

What should I say about Bluebird? It is the same as asking about Bugatti Veyron 🙂 They are the fastest, powerful and delivery ultra high performance. Also, they are very stylish too! I have been working with them for last 5 years and every year they get better and better. Salute & keep on rocking.

Pavel Salatiuk

Senior Sales Director @ Vonage

I have had great experiences with Machiel and the rest of the team, both as a hiring manager and as a candidate. They understand exactly what it takes to be successful within SaaS. Their professionalism, insight into the market and personal approach make the entire process smooth and pleasant.

Jeroen de Jong

Sales Leader @ HiBob

I worked with Machiel and Ash to hire a Global VP of sales at Panaseer. I have worked with many recruiters before but Bluebird differentiated itself with a team of career sales leaders who now focus in recruiting, rather than traditional recruiting career people.

The difference was clear. It meant better candidates (they recruit from a peer perspective and speak their language), better qualification (they could screen like former sales leaders), and better close (they were able to help us close the right candidate). As I have looked for recruiters in other parts of our business, I now look for other using this model of former practitioners.

Brian Levin

Chief Customer Officer @ Panaseer

I have been working with Bluebird for 6 months now and they have provided 4 excellent new Sales and Marketing hires for my Software company, VirtualMetric.
They are very knowledgeable, work fast, and do a great job of making candidates enthusiastic. And the candidates they propose all have good qualifications and the all-important culture fit. Last but not least fun people to work with!

Jimmy Wind

Co-Founder & CTO @ VirtualMetric B.V.

Bluebird played a huge part in the growth of our sales team. From the first application on I was extremely impressed by their quality and subsequentially to be able to scale that with us as well. If you’re looking to scale your sales teams, Bluebird is the way!

Bluebird’s unique proposition to only hire recruiters who’ve done the job themselves is what convinced me to work with a recruitment agency for the first time in 10 years of entrepreneurship. The collaboration has been top notch, where Bluebird was able to get us in front of strong fit candidates within a matter of days. Highly recommended to work with Bluebird!

Rick van den Bosch

Founder & CEO @ Channext

Uncover worked with Bluebird to find its first sales hire, an extremely important role. Bluebird’s distinctive approach of hiring recruiters who have hands-on experience in the roles they recruit for, is unique and extremely valuable. The collaboration has been great, the people are kind and hard working, with Bluebird connecting us with highly suitable candidates within just a few days. Their advice on questions to ask, proposal to make, and what to focus on was also extremely useful. Would definitely work with them again.
