Your talent. Your employee. From day one.
Operating from the heart of the Brainport region, TalinQ connects Dutch technology companies with international technical talent. Through our specialised local recruitment partners, we reach candidates beyond the scope of online recruitment alone. The right match joins your team directly, from day one.
Good technical people are hard to find.
Semiconductor engineers, robotics specialists, clean energy experts: the Dutch market is small and demand keeps growing. Many technical vacancies simply cannot be filled from the Dutch pool alone.
The right candidate may just be outside your usual search.
Our specialized local recruitment partners already know the strongest technical talent in their own market. TalinQ brings that knowledge straight to Dutch employers, opening a wider pool of candidates.
