About the role

We're looking for an IT recruiter who's ready to stop building someone else's business and start building their own. As Head of IT Recruitment you become the co-owner of a brand-new, IT-focused label inside Frontrunners Group. You don't start from zero — we hand you 50+ active customers and a pipeline of live IT jobs on day one. Our group backs you with the systems, sales engine, marketing machine and tech platform that already power Owlie, InSync and Numio. You bring the IT expertise, the network and the hunger to lead. Together we build the number-one IT recruitment label in the Benelux.

Key responsibilities

  • Co-found and lead the new IT label as a co-owner — set the strategy, brand and commercial direction.
  • Take ownership of 50+ existing IT customers and grow that book into a market-leading client portfolio.
  • Run full-cycle IT recruitment delivery while you build the team around you.
  • Hire, mentor and scale a team of IT recruiters and sourcers.
  • Work hand-in-hand with the group's GTM, marketing and tech teams to out-execute every competitor.
  • Own the label's P&L and turn it into a standalone, profitable business within the group.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years in IT recruitment, ideally with experience running your own desk, team or business unit.
  • Deep network in the Dutch IT market — developers, data, cloud, DevOps, product, engineering leadership.
  • You think like an owner: you've run a P&L, built a client book, or always wanted to.
  • Strong commercial instinct — you close deals, retain clients and grow accounts.
  • Leadership DNA: you can hire, coach and scale a team of IT recruiters.
  • You want backing, not a boss. You're ready to build something of your own with the safety net of a proven group.

Benefits

  • Co-owner stake in the new IT label — your upside is real equity, not just a bonus.
  • 50+ active customers and a full pipeline of live IT jobs from day one.
  • Full backing from the Frontrunners Group platform: CRM, outbound systems, AI tooling, marketing and brand.
  • A shared commercial team that feeds you leads while you focus on delivery and growth.
  • 500m² office at the Rokin in Amsterdam. Hybrid working, flexible hours.
  • Direct access to the group's 40+ commercial colleagues, client network and recruiter talent pool.
  • Uncapped earning potential — base plus co-owner upside.
