Dennis is a truly exceptional recruiter, and brings his personal experience in software engineering, as well as his strong people skills and friendly personality to the table to find exactly the right match between candidate and role. I recommend working with him without hesitation.
I was approached by Dennis van Valderen and found his guidance to be very professional. He ensures that you are well prepared for the conversations and quickly follows up on everything. Thank you, Dennis!
A relief to work with Dennis. No nonsense approach and very good pre-selection due to his technical background. With minimal effort, we found our top candidate within a few weeks.
Found a unique challenge thanks to Dennis from Unique.
Dennis approached me for an amazing role right when I had been considering stepping into a new challenge. Throughout, I felt guided, supported and kept in the loop, which gave grounding in the exciting but uncertain hiring process.
During the interviews I was positively shocked how well the company fit my personality and hopes, and I daresay it was a mutual feeling. No question, the professionals at Unique know what they are doing! Not only do they have the technical understanding but also eye for the people involved – an irreplaceable asset to any hiring party and searching candidate.
Dennis has been an absolute champion through and through and I recommend Unique 100%!

This is your situation now, you’re speaking to recruiters that don’t understand what you’re saying. You’re basically talking a different language and before you know it the recruiter tries to pitch you a Java job just because you said you were interested in a JavaScript job..
Normal approach
We’re different. Everyone who works at Unique IT Recruitment comes from a technical background. We speak your language and can advise you in roles we’ve had ourselves! Being on a call with a recruiter has never been so refreshing.
Unique's approach
Recruitment agencies should simplify your hiring process, not complicate it. When seeking a new developer, collaborating with a recruiter who doesn’t understand the technical requirements can result in 15 introductions, with only 1 or 2 being relevant. This increases your workload and wastes your time.
Normal approach
With our background in engineering we can assess and qualify the candidate we’re introducing. We can ask questions that we understand ourselves and create a rating of a candidate on how well this candidate will fit on your technical requirements. Something that other agencies just simply can’t.
Unique's approach
Everyone at Unique IT Recruitment comes from a technical background. The job you’re hiring for is a job that we probably had ourselves, who knows better than the person that has actually done the job.
