Recruitment marketing agency Rotterdam
Recruiting in the Rijnmond area calls for different choices than elsewhere in the Netherlands. Below is how we tune campaigns, channels and follow-up to this region.
Rotterdam is a shift-work market. The port, the Botlek, logistics, construction and engineering drive demand, and those candidates compare jobs on travel distance, shift schedule, certifications and hourly pay, not on culture. A lot of the work is project-based too: if you only start recruiting once the assignment is signed, you are late. So here we build campaigns that keep running and build a pool, with filtering on safety, forklift or driving certifications inside the application flow itself. Meta carries the reach, 15+ job boards catch the active seekers, AI sourcing reactivates your own database. Delivery within 7 days.

Key takeaways
- Port, Botlek, construction and engineering make Rotterdam a shift-work market: roster and certifications decide.
- Project-based work calls for a continuous campaign and a pool, not for recruiting per assignment.
- Certification is filtered inside the application flow, before you call anyone.
- Campaigns targeted on travel radius rather than city limits, live within 7 days, with a guarantee on the agreed lead volume.
The labor market in the Rijnmond area
Rotterdam runs on the port, logistics, engineering and construction, which means shift work, certifications and physical labor. The audience here compares jobs on commute distance, shift schedule and hourly pay - not on company culture.
It is also a region where a lot of work is project-based or seasonal. If you only start recruiting once the assignment is signed, you are structurally too late; here the agency with a pool already in place wins.
What is hardest to fill here
These are the function groups agencies in this region most often get stuck on. The channel, the message and the speed of follow-up differ per group.
- Certified service technicians and engineers
- Drivers and port-related logistics staff
- Construction workers and site supervisors
- Production staff on shift work
How we approach it
We do not build a single ad but a working system: audience, offer, ads, landing page, follow-up and reporting. The Job Acquisition Machine (JAM) fills the candidate side, the Client Acquisition System (CAS) the client side. You do not have to start with both.
After the kick-off your campaign is live within 7 days. From there we adjust weekly based on what comes in: which ad produces qualified candidates, where people drop off on the landing page, and how fast follow-up happens. The ad accounts are in your name and stay yours.
- Job Marketing Campaigns on the channels where this audience actually is.
- A landing page per function group, built for applying on mobile.
- AI Sourcing and Multi-Channel Job Distribution to 15+ job boards on top of the campaigns.
- Reporting on cost per applicant, per qualified candidate and per interview - not on impressions.
What it costs you if it does not work
We work on a monthly or annual retainer with a one-off implementation fee at the start. The agreed lead volume is guaranteed: if a campaign does not deliver the promised number, you do not pay for the shortfall. A 7-day delivery guarantee applies.
Campaigns, ad accounts, dashboards and the talent pool you build are in your name and stay yours, even if we stop working together.
