senior IT talent, netherlands and europe
An hour of time difference at most, no language barrier, rates well below the Dutch market. That's how a first shortlist lands on your desk within three weeks.
Renforza is an IT recruitment agency that connects senior IT engineers with Dutch scale-ups, locally and through nearshoring across Europe, with the Poland-Netherlands corridor at its core.
two doors, one operator
Building out your team? We start by pinning down what the role actually requires, not by firing off a search. Looking for your own next move? Then we start by listening, not by pitching whatever we happen to have open.
how it works
Every search gets qualified through MATCHED, our own framework. No box-checking briefing, just an honest conversation about what's realistic. Sometimes the honest answer is that we pass on the search. We can live with that.
A short list of pre-screened candidates, fast. Senior people from our Dutch and Polish networks who want your specific role, not just any role. Nobody makes the list without clearing a real filter.
We stick around for the first 90 days after the hire. Placing someone and vanishing isn't our style, and a match that's already creaking at three months never was one.
our focus
The people who keep your infrastructure humming so quietly you forget they're there.
Including GTM engineering, for teams where tech and growth stopped being separate departments.
The people watching the wall, at a moment when the wall has never mattered more.
Salespeople who actually understand what they're selling. Rarer than it should be.
nearshoring across europe
Most of our placements are Dutch talent joining Dutch companies. Beyond that, Renforza recruits nearshore across Europe. Poland, Romania, Portugal, and Ukraine each bring something different to the table, from rates to depth of talent. An hour of time difference at most, and every candidate clears our MATCHED qualification, including the ones we source through partners.
Poland is home turf, and that's no coincidence: we literally speak the language, Dutch on your side of the call and Polish on the other. A senior engineer in Poland works remotely for your Dutch team, or relocates if that's what they want. No nine-hour offshore gap, no garbled stand-ups. Just someone who's online at nine and laughs at your jokes.

Contract staffing is cheaper as long as you need someone for less than four to six months. After that, permanent placement wins and the gap widens every month. But the choice is rarely about money alone.
Recruiting in house works as long as candidates apply. An agency pays for itself on senior and scarce profiles, and for teams without a recruiter of their own. The dividing line is whether qualified people reach you at all.
A specialized IT recruitment agency charges 18 to 25 percent of gross annual salary, averaging around 22 percent. On a senior at 95,000 euros, that's 17,000 to 24,000 euros per placement.
