Case Study: Learning marketplace Springest achieves proactive recruitment and stronger cultural fit with Recruitee

Springtest - Customer Case Study

Springest is an award-winning Amsterdam-based comparison site for training programmes that runs on Holacracy, giving employees high autonomy. That culture raises the hiring bar: they need independent, critical people who fit a self-managed environment, must recruit proactively for international developers, and are scaling toward roughly 26–30 people without compromising culture.

To meet that challenge they treat recruiting like sales — building talent pools, nurturing passive candidates and connectors, sharing hiring responsibility across roles, and using tools like Recruitee and Meldium. Candidates do two-day trial projects to prove fit and performance, and the team leverages referrals and local expat services for relocations. The result is consistently better cultural and performance fit, steady growth, and continued recognition as a great place to work.
