Experience designers on a mission to fix broken hiring

Maik Litjens

Founder

Maik spent 15 years in Michelin-star restaurants learning that guests who come back are the only guests that matter. Now he helps companies fix their broken hiring processes. He splits his time between Italy and the Netherlands and believes most ATSs should be thrown into the sea.

Davide Galbiati

UI UX Expert Designer

Davide spent years decoding the friction between what users see and what they actually do. He learned that a beautiful interface is worthless if it leaves a user feeling lost. Now, he designs digital experiences where clarity converts and complexity is stripped away to serve the bottom line. He believes that if a design doesn’t solve a business problem, it’s just decoration.

Identity & Mindset

The strategic compass for every decision we make and every connection we build.

Quality

Quality over quantity is our gold standard. We move away from mass-recruitment to deliver carefully curated introductions. Every candidate is a hand-picked VIP, vetted not just for their skills, but for their ability to thrive within your culture.

Empathy

In a world of automation, we choose to lead with empathy and personal attention. By prioritizing genuine human connection over cold transactions, we build the trust and rapport needed to align a candidate’s career goals with your company’s mission.

Transparency

No black boxes. We lead with radical transparency by sharing our methods and progress openly. You always have full visibility into the process, providing the clarity you need to make informed decisions and take the right action at every stage.

Data-Informed Mindset

We leave nothing to chance. By leveraging deep market analytics, qualitative talent pools, and hyper-personalized outreach, we make evidence-based decisions that lead to predictable hiring results.

Partnership Mindset

We operate as a seamless extension of your leadership, moving beyond the vendor-client relationship. By taking full ownership of the hiring strategy, we ensure our goals are perfectly aligned: your success is the only metric that defines ours.

Growth Mindset

We embrace a Growth Mindset by constantly testing, learning, and refining our approach. This commitment to continuous improvement ensures we consistently deliver high-impact matches that fuel both organizational growth and individual career success.

What people say

Proven Impact: The Power of Proactive Sourcing

Kristof (Business Owner)

VCC Valves & Controls

In mijn carrière van 20 jaar heb ik heel wat recruitmentbureaus voorbij zien komen, en eerlijk gezegd heb ik er vaak mijn buik vol van gehad. Het is meestal veel beloven, weinig waarmaken. Maar de werkwijze van Source2hire is een verademing. Waar ik in het verleden vaak teleurgesteld werd, lieten zij hier precies zien hoe het wél moet: proactief, transparant en met een goed gevoel voor de juiste match. Een absolute uitzondering in de markt.

Carla (HR Lead)

Maxgrip

Source2hire is a driven hiring partner with an eye for both short and long term recruitment. In the period July 2022 – August 2023, in addition to recruiting new employees and building a candidate pipeline for MaxGrip in APAC and America. Maik from Source2hire contributed to the further development of recruitment for MaxGrip. He delivers what promises and is very pleasant to work with. Thanks for the cooperation!

Corlien (HR Lead)

Aalberts

As an HR professional, I have extensive experience with various agencies, but this collaboration stands out head and shoulders above the rest. The approach is pleasant and distinctive: a strong data-driven method combined with genuine human contact. Instead of simply forwarding CVs, they truly search for candidates who are a perfect fit for our organization. An absolute recommendation for anyone looking for depth and quality.

First of all, thank you for your message. I receive messages via LinkedIn on a weekly basis, and you are the first revruiter who has actually read my profile, so thank you for that.

Mariska (Recruitment Lead)

Heijmans

A huge thank you for everything you have done for our organization over the past few years. Even with managers who set the bar very high for recruitment, your expertise has brought about a positive change. And it is also because of you that it has been proven how effective sourcing on LinkedIn can be.

Bart (candidate)

For the first time in years of using LinkedIn, I was actually triggered by a message in my inbox regarding a job opening. I immediately got the feeling that you had actually read my profile and not just my job title. Under the motto "it never hurts to inquire," I'm happy to have a chat about the vacancy. However, I am also quite satisfied with my current employer and environment. You may call me at...

Dominique (HR Lead)

Croonwolter&dros

As an HR Advisor at Croonwolter&dros, I had the pleasure of working with Source2hire for a year. I have always experienced our collaboration as very pleasant. Source2hire acts quickly (which is very important these days), is easily accessible, doesn't just execute but truly thinks along with you, maintains good contact with the business, is reliable, and is also pleasant to work with. This ultimately ensures that candidates have confidence in our organization and choose us as an employer. As a result, we have managed to fill difficult vacancies. Thank you for your pleasant collaboration. May you continue to help many more organizations with your knowledge and experience!

Bas (candidate)

Thank you for your message. It's good to meet a recruiter who actually presents a great role. I have reviewed the vacancy, and it aligns well with my future plans. Let's schedule a call to discuss this further.

Amanda (candidate)

26. January, 2026.

First of all, my compliments on the personal approach. I don't see that very often on LinkedIn anymore. It is certainly a nice and interesting vacancy you are reaching out to me for. However, I am not the right candidate for this at the moment, as I am still very happy with my current employer. Additionally, I am already quite a bit outside of your salary range. I do wish you the best of luck with your further search!
