Executive and leadership recruitment in the Netherlands

“Adams has been a trusted partner to Samyang Foods Europe, providing support across a number of senior-level searches. Their team takes the time to understand our organisation and requirements, and consistently introduces high-quality candidates who are well matched the role and our business. We particularly value their clear communication, responsiveness and pragmatic approach throughout the recruitment process. Candidates also regularly share positive feedback with us about their experience, highlighting the personal attention and guidance they receive from the Adams team at every stage. We appreciate the strong partnership we have built and would gladly recommend Adams to organisations seeking a committed partner for senior-level recruitment.”

"Over the years, David and the team at Adams have been instrumental in building a strong team. Adams has an extensive and qualitative network of international executives in the Netherlands. They can access both Dutch and international candidates of leading international companies. The team delivered a shortlist of high-quality candidates consistently, kept the process nicely paced and were instrumental in selecting the perfect match. But more importantly, Adams demonstrated a strong understanding of our culture, values and requirements for each function. It felt more like a true partnership than a supplier relationship. I have always seen David as an extension of the team. And as a result, together we managed to build a high-performing team with international top leadership."

“After 25 years in large FMCG companies, I was ready for a change. I was considering everything, from starting my own business to freelancing or even pursuing a different career path, so when David approached me about a Marketing Director role, I wasn't immediately convinced. What won me over was the genuine excitement David and Izumi shared about the opportunity, their candour about the company's challenges, and how well they knew the business, almost as if they were part of the team. Throughout the process, they prepared me for every conversation, followed up swiftly while respecting my time, and supported me right through to contract negotiations. If you're considering your next career move, I'd wholeheartedly recommend starting a conversation with them!”

“I have had a very positive experience working with Adams, particularly with Izumi. Their approach has consistently been professional, dedicated, and thorough. They take the time to understand the specific requirements of each position, the expectations of the organisation, and the qualifications needed to identify the right candidates. Their ability to source high-quality candidates and conduct a careful, well-structured pre-selection process has been particularly valuable. Throughout our collaboration, Izumi has demonstrated a high level of commitment, professionalism, and reliability. I highly recommend Adams as a trusted recruitment partner and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration in the future.”

"When I started exploring my next step, I knew it had to be the right senior leadership role - not just another job. Adams understood what mattered to me because they took the time to listen, challenge my thinking, and build a real relationship. They delivered: I’m now in an exciting role where I’m challenged, valued, and surrounded by great people. I wholeheartedly recommend Adams to senior leaders looking for a role that genuinely fits their ambitions and values.”

“I understand how challenging it can be to align the right talent with a company’s brand identity and culture. I would absolutely recommend Adams. They are highly approachable, work at eye level, and operate with great professionalism throughout the process. From the outset, I felt that David had a strong grasp of our needs and vision. He demonstrated a deep understanding of the type of leadership and experience we were looking for.”
