Since 1998, we have been assisting medium-sized organizations, scale-ups, and non-corporates in the Rotterdam area with attracting scarce IT talent.
We know the market, the companies, salary structures, and where latent talent can be found.
Rotterdam is one of the most dynamic IT regions in the Netherlands, driven by logistics, industry, energy transition, and port digitalization. The demand for IT specialists is growing rapidly due to the modernization of supply chains, OT/ICS systems, and cloud migrations. Organizations compete with international players in logistics, maritime, energy, and digital infrastructure.
The Rotterdam region requires a no-nonsense, senior and pragmatic recruitment approach, where domain knowledge (industry, logistics, OT and cloud) and speed are central. Contact us for more information.
Whether it involves temporary reinforcement through interim or secondment, or the recruitment of a permanent employee, we have access to a broad network of specialists.

Rotterdam is the center of the Dutch port, logistics, and industrial sector.
The digitalization of supply chains, automation of terminals, OT/ICS security, and cloud transitions are creating a structurally high demand for IT specialists.
Demand in Rotterdam exceeds supply, as organizations compete with international players in logistics, energy, industry, and digital infrastructure.
Many IT professionals are passive candidates and are approached daily by recruiters.
This makes targeted sourcing, technical screening, and a clear, credible employer pitch essential.
In the Rotterdam region, we primarily mediate roles that fit within port logistics, industrial automation, OT, and cloud transitions, such as:
Cloud & DevOps Engineers (Azure / AWS / Kubernetes)
OT/ICS Security Engineers
Data Engineers & BI Consultants
Software Developers (.NET, Java) for logistics platforms
Infra & Network Engineers (24/7 operations)
IT Project & Delivery Managers
Functional Administrators (ERP, WMS, TMS, CRM)
These roles are consistently scarce due to the complexity of the region.
We combine 25+ years of experience with a deep understanding of Rotterdam organizations.
Our approach is:
no-nonsense, direct, and pragmatic
senior-driven (no junior recruiters or volume approach)
focused on domain knowledge within logistics, industry, OT/ICS, and cloud

We assist with relocation, EU candidates, screening, and onboarding as needed so that international professionals can be quickly deployed.
