The Challenge

Eneco is a leading Dutch energy company at the forefront of the energy transition. As part of this mission, the organization needed to rapidly scale its tech department with high-quality software engineering talent.

However, the hiring context was complex. There was significant internal pressure to deliver results quickly, while the recruitment landscape itself was challenging. Internally, hiring processes lacked structure, and stakeholder alignment was difficult. Time-to-hire was too long, and hiring managers needed stronger support to regain confidence in the recruitment process.

Eneco was looking for more than short-term capacity. They needed a strategic recruitment partner who could bring structure, data, and calm into a high-growth, high-complexity environment.

Matchr quickly integrated into Eneco’s teams, adapting to internal dynamics and working closely with hiring managers. By combining market expertise, experienced talent, and a structured approach, Matchr helped bring order to a previously chaotic hiring environment.
