History
In 2011, Perry Oostdam met Pawel Smoczyk on Founder2be, a social network that helps aspiring entrepreneurs find their co-founder. Working remotely from the Netherlands and Poland, they put together their first product - a mobile activation game called GeoRun.
In 2014, Oostdam and Smoczyk pivoted the business and built Recruitee out of their own frustration with the hassles of hiring. They believe hiring should be a team effort, not only for founders and HR alone.
After its launch, Recruitee quickly became popular and got an undisclosed amount of seed funding in September 1st, 2015. Its board members include Dutch entrepreneurs Robert Pijselman and Luc Brandts.
In November 2015, Recruitee announced a partnership with Rockstart, an accelerator in Amsterdam. Recruitee set up a Talent Pool that let applicants apply to job openings from all startups that are and were affiliated with Rockstart.
Recruitee's current clients include Vice (magazine), Usabilla, and Vlisco.
