What’s the difference between recruitment and headhunting?

Recruitment typically focuses on sourcing and selecting candidates who are actively on the market, using campaigns and structured pipelines. Headhunting is a targeted approach used for hard‑to‑find, niche, or senior profiles, often involving direct outreach to passive candidates who aren’t actively applying.

What types of roles can EuroDev recruit for in Europe?

Can you advise on commission, bonus, or incentive structures?

Yes. Incentive expectations vary widely across Europe. We help shape bonus and/or commission structures that align with local norms and the seniority of the role — so offers are compelling without creating friction later.

What does your recruitment process look like in practice?

Our process follows three clear stages: Brief & Source Interview & Shortlist Close & Offer Support We align on the profile, run targeted sourcing, screen candidates, present a shortlist, and support the closing phase (including references and offer discussions).

Typically, your involvement is concentrated in: aligning with the role profile at the start interviewing shortlisted candidates confirming the final selection and offering direction We handle sourcing, screening, and shortlisting to keep the process efficient.
