Catawiki
Recruitment Stories: How We Supported Growth
Project overview
About our client
Catawiki is a fast-growing online auction platform for special items and collectables. Founded in 2008, it has evolved from a collector’s community into one of Europe’s leading curated marketplaces, hiring engineers globally to support its growth and innovation.
Why Global M
Catawiki was scaling rapidly and needed senior-level developers who could meet a high technical bar. With over a decade of experience hiring in the Netherlands, Global M brought deep market knowledge, tax expertise, and strong ties to local and international developer networks.
The process
We worked closely with the Head of Talent and recruitment team, embedding into their Greenhouse ATS workflow. Our approach included proactive headhunting and platform-based sourcing to find language-agnostic developers willing to relocate, with a strong emphasis on cultural fit and technical capability.
Our results
We filled 6 roles with 8 offers across two senior developer positions. Our close collaboration and focused search strategy helped secure high-calibre hires ready to thrive in Catawiki’s high-standard, language-flexible environment and contribute to its engineering excellence.
