Growing mid-market demand for centralized agency hiring drives official embedded integration as GGZ Centraal and VDK join existing customers like Q-Park, Sword Group and AAFF.
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS – July 17, 2025 – Following successful implementations with dozens of joint customers, Tellent and HirePort today announced the formal launch of their strategic partnership, making HirePort's specialized agency management solution an official embedded offering within the Tellent Recruitee ATS. The announcement comes as organizations including GGZ Centraal and VDK join a growing roster of customers choosing the Tellent Recruitee-HirePort combination over competing ATS providers.
The partnership emerged organically as Tellent Recruitee customers began adopting HirePort to address challenges with agency recruitment management. The success of these initial implementations has led major organizations to specifically choose the Tellent Recruitee-HirePort combination for their talent acquisition needs.
"What started as individual customer solutions has evolved into a powerful partnership," said Bram Medema, Co-founder at HirePort. "Over the last year, we've seen tremendous results with joint customers like Q-Park and Sword Group, who have transformed how they manage agency relationships. The fact that organizations like GGZ and AAFF are now choosing our combined solution over other ATS providers validates our approach to solving this critical recruitment challenge."
The integration addresses a critical gap in mid-market talent acquisition: while companies invest substantially in their ATS infrastructure, agency recruitment/ working with staffers, which often accounts for a substantial number of all hires, has remained stubbornly outside these systems. This disconnect creates inefficiency, compliance risks, and limited visibility into what is often one of the largest talent acquisition expenditures.
Lodewijk de Stoppelaar, Director for Benelux at Tellent, highlighted growing demand from larger customers: "Our enterprise clients like 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."
The success of existing implementations has been well-documented, with significant measurable impacts:
Peter Vork, Corporate Recruiter at AAFF, notes: "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 official partnership comes at a time when mid-market companies face increasing pressure to optimize their talent acquisition costs while still competing effectively for specialized talent. After seeing the impact on early adopters, Tellent and HirePort are now making the integration available to all Tellent Recruitee customers.
"Our collaboration with Tellent Recruitee began with a shared vision of bringing the entire recruitment process into a single, user-friendly ecosystem," said Remco van de Ruit, co-founder at HirePort. "What's exciting is how quickly customers have validated this approach. When agencies are properly integrated into the ATS workflow, everyone benefits—hiring managers get better candidates, recruiters save time, finance gains visibility, and even the agencies themselves have a better experience."
The connection between HirePort and Tellent Recruitee runs deeper than just customer overlap. "Our journey with Tellent Recruitee began when Perry Oostdam, Recruitee's founder, became an early investor in HirePort," added Remco. "The synergy between our Amsterdam-based companies was clear from the start — we both believe recruitment technology should be intuitive and high-impact."
Moritz Kothe, CEO at Tellent, emphasized the strategic importance of the partnership: "In an era where talent acquisition teams are expected to do more with less, our customers need to maximize the value of every hiring channel — including agencies. With HirePort's integration, we're providing the missing piece that makes Tellent Recruitee a truly comprehensive solution for modern recruiting teams."
