Accountmanager Tecwave (Internal)

Vacancy: Accountmanager Tecwave (m/v)(fulltime)
Date: 26-1-2026

Building Tecwave’s future, from the ground up.

About Tecwave

Just over a year ago, we started with one clear mission: to make technical recruitment listen to the market again.

In its first year, Tecwave has proven that our proposition strongly resonates: personal, substantive, and transparent recruitment, focused on the sustainable filling of technical positions.

No CV shuffling, no quick wins, and no KPI factory—just structural reinforcement of technical companies and candidates who can ultimately join their new employer directly. Because that is simply what seems to have been forgotten, while the greatest demand in the technical sector still lies right there.

And it works. Clients do not want to work for years with staffing agencies that retain candidates for their own gain. And candidates have no desire to be just a number on a target list.

The market is craving authenticity, customization, transparency, and a personal approach that truly adds value.

That is exactly what our first year has proven:

• Clients are eager to work with us and structurally strengthen their teams
• Candidates consciously choose our personal approach and tailored career coaching
• Started from scratch and profitable within year one

This is not just another agency.
This is a fresh, down-to-earth approach in a market facing major personnel challenges.

That is why we are expanding.

We are looking for an ambitious Account Manager who will help build the future of Tecwave from day one and excel within their own technical discipline.

Where we are today

In the first year, we laid a solid foundation:

• A large network of clients and candidates in Electrical Engineering & Automation
• A proven proposition for both companies and candidates
• Successful placement of many technical positions at MBO, HBO, and WO levels
• A strong international recruitment network within Europe
• A professional and automated back office
• Recruitment & Selection + Deta-Vast constructions as models, focused on filling vacancies

We clearly distinguish ourselves by aligning our services with what an organization or candidate truly needs. We do not cling to rigid secondment models or excessively high margins. We provide specialist advice to clients on successful recruitment and selection. And we advise and coach candidates based on their wishes and ambitions, not on the fastest possible placement.

Our growth and success lie in continuity—our partners and candidates enjoy staying connected with us.

The market response has been exceptionally positive.
And so… it is time for the next phase.

The vision on the horizon

In the coming years, we will continue to expand and professionalize our proven approach. We will not do this by hiring “extra hands,” but by attracting specialists in the mediation of technical professionals, each with a proven track record.

This role is, naturally, not for everyone. But we believe we must grow in a way that fits our services, because: delivering professionals means being professional.

Over the coming years, we will establish (and expand) a select number of business units across various technical disciplines:

• We will further expand the Electrical Engineering & Automation business unit
• We will add new business units, including:

o Automotive
o Mechanical Engineering
o Civil Engineering
o Installation Technology

• We will build teams within the above disciplines that:

o Fully manage their own market
o Strategically deploy their network
o Determine their own direction
o And thereby shape what Tecwave’s growth looks like

The role: Account Manager at Tecwave

We are not looking for someone who thinks their main task is delegating, but for someone who gets their hands dirty. A builder who is actively in the market every day, speaks with clients on the shop floor, visits project sites, and truly understands what is going on. At Tecwave, you are hands-on and in control: you call, visit, move, and push through until results are achieved.

You will have a 360° role in which you:

1. Build new partnerships
– You approach technical companies based on your own network and experience
– You identify staffing needs in the short and long term
– You define conditions and forms of collaboration
– You maintain a visible presence with clients, including on-site

2. Fill technical vacancies
– You conduct intake interviews with candidates (Dutch & international)
– You show genuine technical and personal interest and are not a CV pusher
– You guide the entire process from selection to placement
– You think along with clients about sustainable reinforcement, strategic workforce planning, and candidate development

3. Build and maintain a network
– On LinkedIn, you are visible, recognizable, and substantively relevant
– You share cases, results, insights, and vacancies
– You become the trusted face for both clients and candidates

4. Work with international recruitment partners
– You collaborate with European recruitment suppliers
– You receive profiles with full screening, motivation & availability
– You help international technicians build sustainable careers in the Netherlands
– You build long-term supplier partnerships
– International travel is part of this role to strengthen relationships

This role offers: freedom, ownership, and entrepreneurship.
No micromanagement, endless meetings, call scripts, or bureaucracy.

What makes this opportunity unique?

→ You join when the company is still small, agile, and fast-growing
→ You have influence on strategy, working methods, and market approach
→ You not only earn a strong salary, but help build something that grows beyond the role itself
→ You are given space to turn ideas into action, from a stable foundation

Where many professionals simply “fill a seat,” here you have the opportunity to become a co-owner of our growth, with influence, responsibility, and excellent future prospects.

What we ask of you

• HBO level of working and thinking
• At least 2 years of experience in technical recruitment or staffing
• A strong track record in one of the following disciplines

o Electrical Engineering & Automation
o Automotive
o Mechanical Engineering
o Civil Engineering
o Installation Technology

• A commercial network within the technical sector
• You build strong relationships through your expertise and authentic approach
• You are energetic, entrepreneurial, and responsible
• Full command of the Dutch and English languages
• You do not wait; you think, plan, and act

What we offer you

• Gross annual salary between €40,000 and €60,000
• Attractive incentive per placement ranging from €500 to €1,500 depending on type
• Company car
• Laptop and iPhone
• Hybrid working
• Vacation days by mutual agreement
• Training and education aligned with your role and growth
• A key role in the growth of Tecwave

Success is no coincidence: it is the combination of your commitment, quality, freedom, and responsibility.
