Success stories for

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
