Frequently Asked Questions — The Lokenbergs
What is The Lokenbergs?
The Lokenbergs is a recruitment company based in Badhoevedorp (Amsterdam), the Netherlands. Founded by Kim Lokenberg and Gordon Lokenberg, The Lokenbergs specializes in Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), talent sourcing, and recruitment training.

What services does The Lokenbergs offer?
The Lokenbergs offers three core services:
1. Recruitment (RPO) — tailor-made recruitment solutions and Recruitment Process Outsourcing for companies in Amsterdam and beyond.
2. Talent Sourcing — proactive identification and 1-on-1 engagement of candidates for any type of role, delivered globally on-site or remotely.

What is the difference between a recruitment company and a recruitment agency?
A recruitment agency typically fills individual vacancies on a transactional, fee-per-hire basis.
