About Top of Minds Executive Search
Top of Minds Executive Search is a pioneer and market leader in The Netherlands’ executive candidate segment. We succeed by maintaining a key focus on ex-consultants and digital professionals. Because both types of candidates are in high demand in many functional and industry markets, we’ve become the trusted partner for a wide range of clients in The Netherlands. From fintechs to museums, e-commerce scale-ups to multinationals, and consultancies to impact organizations. Since founding in 2008, we’ve exceeded the competition in just ten years.

A business model for the digital era
Wherever we break new ground, our approach disrupts the mid-level executive search market. It’s thanks to our way of working as a hybrid between executive search and digital marketing.

We guarantee our unique content reaches the right people two ways: through our professional research team, and our proprietary marketing engine. Combined, they ensure we always target the right talent with laser-like precision across all relevant online channels. This dual output combines research and marketing efforts and is a proven, premium process.
Expanding our international team
