HirePort and Recruitee: A Partnership Transforming Agency Recruitment

When it comes to talent acquisition, one of the biggest challenges for growing companies has always been agency recruitment. Working with staffing agencies often sits outside the ATS which creates inefficiency, compliance risks, and limited visibility into one of the largest areas of recruitment spend.

That’s where HirePort and Recruitee are changing the game.

From Customer Demand to Strategic Partnership

What started as customer-driven demand has evolved into a formal partnership. Recruitee clients began adopting HirePort to fix their agency recruitment headaches, and the results spoke for themselves.

Companies like Q-Park, Sword Group, and AAFF were early adopters. More recently, organizations including GGZ Centraal and VDK have joined the growing roster of teams choosing the Recruitee-HirePort combination over competing ATS providers.

Bram Medema, Co-founder at HirePort, summed it up well:

“What started as individual customer solutions has evolved into a powerful partnership. The fact that organizations are now choosing our combined solution over other ATS providers validates our approach to solving this critical recruitment challenge.”

Real Results

The impact of integrating HirePort with Recruitee has been significant and measurable.

Peter Vork, Corporate Recruiter at AAFF, recalls:

“We once had 87 missed calls from agencies in just two hours during an important team meeting. With HirePort, we’re saving hours a day that was previously spent on agency management.”

This is what happens when agency recruitment is brought into the ATS workflow. Hiring managers get better candidates, recruiters save time, finance gains visibility, and even agencies themselves enjoy a smoother process.

Designed for the Mid-Market, Built for Scale

Recruitee’s Director for Benelux, Lodewijk de Stoppelaar, explained the demand from larger customers:

“Our enterprise clients have made it clear they need to streamline their entire talent acquisition operation, including getting a firm grip on working with their talent suppliers. This partnership adds a critical capability to our platform that gives our customers the comprehensive solution they’ve been asking for.”

For mid-market companies, this comes at the right time. Talent acquisition teams are under pressure to do more with less, and maximizing every hiring channel—including agencies—is essential.

Moritz Kothe, CEO at Tellent, reinforced the strategic value of this integration:

“With HirePort’s integration, we’re providing the missing piece that makes Recruitee a truly comprehensive solution for modern recruiting teams.”

A Shared Vision for Recruitment

The connection between Recruitee and HirePort runs deep. Perry Oostdam, Recruitee’s founder, was an early investor in HirePort, making the synergy between the two Amsterdam-based companies clear from the start. Both share the belief that recruitment technology should be intuitive, impactful, and built for the future.

As Remco van de Ruit, co-founder at HirePort, put it:

“Our collaboration with Recruitee began with a shared vision of bringing the entire recruitment process into a single, user-friendly ecosystem. What’s exciting is how quickly customers have validated this approach.”

What’s Next?

The HirePort integration for Recruitee is available now. Mid-market companies looking to optimize their agency recruitment and bring every part of their hiring process into one ecosystem can start today.
