Pontus Koivisto supported me throughout the recruitment process with an external company and made everything smooth and straightforward. It was clear from the start that he knew what he was doing and had real industry knowledge. I felt well-prepared and informed at every stage thanks to his guidance. Bluebird—and especially Pontus—were incredibly helpful, professional, and genuinely committed to supporting me through the process.
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.
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!
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.
Found a unique challenge thanks to Dennis from Bluebird.
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%!

This is your current situation: you’re speaking to recruiters who don’t understand what you’re saying. It feels like you’re speaking a different language, and before you know it, the recruiter is pitching you a Java job just because you mentioned you’re interested in a JavaScript job.
Normal approach
We’re different. Everyone who works We’re different. Everyone at Bluebird IT Recruitment comes from a technical background. We speak your language and can advise you on roles we’ve personally held. Speaking with a recruiter has never been so refreshing.
Bluebird's approach
Recruitment agencies should simplify your hiring process, not complicate it. When you’re looking for a new developer, working with a recruiter who doesn’t understand the technical requirements can lead to 15 introductions, with only 1 or 2 being relevant. This increases your workload and wastes your time.
Normal approach
With our engineering background, we can effectively assess and qualify the candidates we introduce. We ask the right questions—ones we understand firsthand—and create a rating of how well each candidate fits your technical requirements. This is something other agencies simply can’t do.
Bluebird's approach
At Bluebird IT Recruitment, every team member comes from a technical background. The roles you’re hiring for are often ones we’ve personally held. Who better to find the right candidate than someone who has actually done the job?
