Client Recommendations

"Luke Thomas is simply the most responsive and effective recruiter that I've found in the Netherlands. He actually understands the skills and traits that AKQA require and does much more that simply pattern match required acronyms to those found in candidate CVs (unlike some other recruiters I've come across!) I have no hesitation in recommending Luke to any agency requiring access to quality candidates."

"Luke took great care to find the job that best matched my ambitions. He is a dedicated, very friendly professional with a good understanding of the Dutch IT labour market. He is a great resource for both employers and candidates."


"You will find that Luke is not like working with other recruiters. He is very passionate about his job, personable and cares that he delivers. He likes to build the relationship so you feel that it is more of a partnership than you are a client. He has an excellent understanding of our needs and only provides candidates that are suitable, filtering out the candidates that would be a waste of our time. The most important quality Luke possesses in my opinion is that he does not constantly harass with emails / phone calls. His amount of communication is perfect. He is not like other recruiters who insistently cold call."

"Luke's genuine passion for recruitment and professional approach is clearly reflected in his success in the industry. During my time being managed by Luke he was able able to develop me into a strong, consultative and relationship focused recruiter. He is always striving to find innovative ways to separate himself and the teams he manages from the competition; but mainly achieves through simply investing more face time with clients and candidate than anybody else I worked under."

"Luke works exclusively on behalf of LBI Lost Boys to help fill our permanent recruitment needs. Over the last 6 months since starting the relationship Luke has personally placed 4 people within our organisation. The profiles that we provided to Luke were not easy tasks yet somehow the quality, speed and efficiency of the recruitment has been first class. Luke is highly professional yet likes to have a personal relationship with his clients. He has been to our offices a number of times to build on the relationship and make sure everything is working out well. We continue to use Luke and would recommend his services to other potential customers"

"Luke is a great Recruiter, he fiends exactly what you're looking for. He found us some great IT guys. the labour market was very difficult at the time, but he managed to find them. If you're looking for good people, call Luke:-)"

  • The first time I contacted Luke I was living in Spain and willing to live in Amsterdam. After several chats, he got an interview for me, I arrived in the Netherlands just with that interview and just after arriving he got another two. This is just an example of what Luke's attitude can make anywhere he is. His proactive and optimistic attitude is transmitted to the rest of the people working with him, focusing on his goals and involving everyone on them. I would completely recommend this guy

  • Luke helped me get my second job in the Netherlands, his understanding of technologies lead me to a challenging position and his great attention to a candidate's personality and wishes helped find a position that was also perfectly aligned with my personality. The result was leap forward in my career, and a great experience in a both challenging and enjoyable environment.
