For employers.

We're transparent about that. For permanent recruitment we charge 25% of the full-time gross annual salary plus holiday allowance — in return you get a dedicated search by a dedicated recruiter. For interim, on a full-time working week we never charge more than €15 margin on top of the freelancer's hourly rate. No small print: you know exactly where you stand up front.

Three. On every search we aim for three candidates who are each worth the conversation — not a pile of CVs, but a real choice. Sometimes the first one is the match; we won't complain about that.

First a real intake: what does this person need to be able to do, and with whom will they thrive? Then we approach our network directly — no vacancy spam — and present three candidates who are each worth the conversation. You hold the interviews, we guide the process through to the signature. And after that, we keep calling.

Interim often moves fast: we know our network personally, so we know who's available. For permanent roles we take the time needed to present the right three. We don't make promises about lead times — that also depends on your process. What we do gladly do is advise on that process: how to maximize your chances of actually hiring or contracting someone.

With permanent recruitment, someone joins you as an employee; we search, select, and guide the process through to the signature. With interim, you temporarily bring in an independent professional — for a project or to bridge a gap, for instance — who can often start at short notice.

Then we fix it. If it becomes clear within the trial period that the candidate isn't the right one after all, we search for a suitable replacement free of charge — solving your problem is the goal, not the placement itself. If we can't find a replacement, we refund part of the fee.

Yes. Some vacancies you don't want out in the open — a departure that isn't public yet, a sensitive role. In that case we recruit without naming your organization; candidates only hear who you are the moment you want them to. And at Gruzzy, a candidate is only ever presented after they've given their own consent — discreet or not, that's the standard.

Because security is a market of its own. We've spoken exclusively with security people for years: we know who's good, what roles really involve, and what a realistic salary or rate looks like. And because we know what appeals to security specialists, we also know how to approach them — which gets us through to people a generalist never gets on the phone.

Yes. We're based in Amsterdam, but we place people across the whole country.
