Why BitMinded

We speak your language

We understand not only what drives you, but also the technologies you work with every day. Whether it involves JVM stacks, cloud architectures or data pipelines, we know the context in which you excel. We think beyond technical fit and look closely at who you are, how you work and where you thrive.
This is why we speak the language of software engineers and the companies where they make a difference.

T-shaped expertise

Our core lies in the JVM (Java, Kotlin, Scala), strengthened by broad experience in Cloud and Data engineering. This combination makes us a true sparring partner for modern engineering teams. We combine deep technical understanding with a clear view of the entire ecosystem. It allows us to connect the right engineers to organizations that build reliable, scalable and future-proof software.

Long-term results

We do not focus on quick wins. We focus on sustainable, long-term growth.
By prioritizing both technical and cultural fit, we help build teams that continue to evolve and roles where engineers truly find their place. Quality and continuity are at the heart of how we recruit, creating matches that work today, tomorrow and beyond.

Since 2010

With more than 250 successful placements, hundreds of processes and thousands of conversations, we know the Dutch tech market inside out. That experience shapes how we work today, with focus, structure and quality in every step. Since 2010, we have been known as specialists in JVM, Cloud and Data recruitment in the Netherlands, built on experience, trust and consistent results.

Streamlined process

With years of experience, we have developed an approach that runs like a continuous delivery pipeline: clear, fast and free of unnecessary noise.
We keep communication tight and manage the process on both sides, with clients and with candidates. Every step flows smoothly, transparently and with confidence toward a successful outcome. Our recruitment process is proven, structured and aligned with how modern software development works.

Human-centered

Behind every role is a person with ambitions, preferences and sometimes doubts.
This is why we guide every process with attention, honesty and clear communication. A new job or colleague has impact on both sides. We make sure that journey runs smoothly and thoughtfully. At BitMinded, we believe good recruitment begins with people, not profiles.

This is how we ensure that applying does not feel like waiting, but like working together on your next step.

Together we map out your personal and technical ambitions. What drives you? Which stack fits you? And what type of team or organization helps you do your best work?

Reviews

"A few years ago I got in touch with Serge. Even though he had a great company for me, I ultimately started at another job.

Now Serge has helped me find a new job this January. He took the time to understand what I was looking for this time.

During the application process he always kept me informed well and quickly. It was pleasant working with Serge."

Laurens

{ Software Engineer }

"Serge helped me professionally to a new position.

He knows how to ask the right questions. This really helped me to get clarity on what I was looking for in a new challenge. His technical knowledge definitely helped during this exploration as well.

All in all, I experienced the collaboration with Serge as pleasant."

Hans

{ Senior Engineer }

"I have been working with Serge for many years. During that period he has helped us recruit senior engineers and delivered whenever we needed help. During my time at Ordina, Serge helped me find the right Scala engineers to build and strengthen the Codestar label. Later he found multiple senior cloud developers for our startup Skyworkz. Time and time again, the candidates were well prepared and knew exactly what our company stood for, resulting in a high number of successful matches. Thanks, Serge"

Martin

{ Founder }

"Serge has successfully helped us a few times with recruiting a new colleague. He has a tremendous amount of market knowledge, is driven in a positive way and represents all interests well. He handled each placement with determination, and I found it extremely pleasant to work with you! 5*****!"

Evaline

{ Hoofd HR }

"I usually don’t like looking for a new job, but Serge made the whole process surprisingly easy and pleasant. He is clearly very experienced and knows the Dutch IT market inside and out. After he really took the time to get to know me, my situation and my ambitions, he presented several fitting options. He arranged informal talks with companies that interested me and afterward gave honest and personal advice. If I ever start looking again, I will definitely contact him once more."

Lennart

{ Back-end Engineer }

"With Serge you get clear communication and quick responses. In our collaboration he is positive and honest with feedback when relevant. Great recruiter who delivers quality and doesn’t waste your time. Always happy to work with you!"

Guido

{ Tech Executive }

"I came into contact with Serge when I was looking for a new job. I quickly noticed that he has a lot of experience. He challenges you to clarify your own strengths and wishes so that he can properly assess whether you would fit in an organization, and so that you can also present yourself well when you are invited somewhere. In addition, he has lots of tips for writing a CV and preparing for interviews. That helped me a lot."

Mariëlle

{ Senior Developer }

"I have worked with Serge for many years in different roles and companies, always with great pleasure.
‍
He is an excellent listener who understands exactly what both parties need. Thanks to his approach, he delivers candidates who are not only strong technically but also match well in personality and culture.

Our long collaboration has built a lot of trust. Highly recommended!"

Albert

{ Head of Engineering }

"I have been working with Serge Warbout for several years now and that works very well. Serge shows genuine attention to the candidates he mediates and only introduces someone if there seems to be a good match. He also guides the entire selection process well. Serge is pragmatic, solution-oriented and a pleasant conversation partner."

Willem

{ Senior Developer }

"Serge takes his time for you, listens, and is intrinsically motivated to get you into the right position. He also challenges you to think, so you get a better understanding of what exactly you are looking for. Additionally, Serge is not afraid to confront you with the facts, or to simply say that something is not wise or not possible. Throughout the entire process Serge is transparent about companies, opportunities and compensation."

Mark

{ Software Engineer }

"Serge is a very pleasant recruiter who helped me with a lot of knowledge of the local job market (Utrecht), a realistic perspective and constructive feedback. He helped me find my new job in a very short time, which turned out to be a perfect match! I can recommend working with him to everyone."

Floor

{ Tech Lead & Manager }

"My collaboration with Serge was very pleasant. You can tell that he has strong connections with the companies he recruits for. He knows what is going on inside those companies and has often already placed multiple people there. Because of that, he had useful tips about the companies and the people I would speak with, which helped me prepare as well as possible for the interviews. If I had any questions, I could easily reach Serge via WhatsApp (even during the weekend!). With his help, I found a great new job in a short time."

Rick

{ Senior Fullstack Engineer }

"My experience shows that Serge is genuinely interested in both the candidates he supports and the companies he works for. He knows what he’s talking about and knows his profession. From our first conversation Serge already knew a lot about the company and the company culture. Communication with him has always been pleasant and relaxed. Now, a few years later, I am involved in hiring myself. We still work with Serge, who continues to introduce us to strong candidates that suit our culture perfectly."

Bart

{ Team Lead & Back End Engineer }

"Serge helped me tremendously in exploring and finding new opportunities for the next step in my career. He came up with multiple interesting roles that really suited me, unlike many other recruiters who often propose uninspiring options. Serge has a wide range from entry-level to expert roles and from consultancy companies to startups with a Silicon Valley mindset. From all that, Serge knows how to select the opportunities that truly fit you."

Jan

{ Senior Software Engineer }

"Through Serge I was able to interview at several very diverse companies and really figure out what suited me best. In the end I confidently chose Navara. More than a year later I can still say that it’s a perfect match, thanks Serge!"

Tom

{ Senior Software Engineer }

"Serge helped me find a new job. He paid attention to my background and interests, and provided pleasant support during the interviewing procedure. He is impressively knowledgeable about modern software engineering."

Tim

{ Software Engineer }

"When Serge contacted me, it quickly became clear that he is genuinely interested in the people he works with. He listened closely and truly considered my wishes. The result was a perfect match. Thank you, Serge!"

Rinke

{ Software Engineer }

"Serge is not one of those recruiters who only match keywords on CVs, but shows real interest in the person, their interests and technical skills. The positions he suggested matched exactly what I was looking for. I can wholeheartedly recommend Serge and CodeGuild to anyone looking for a new challenge."

Eric

{ Software Developer }

"Strong communicator, clear in his expectations and always available for questions. Together we found a perfect match for my new challenge, and I am extremely happy with the outcome. In my new role I now work together with Serge to attract new candidates — a collaboration I truly look forward to."

Rene

{ Team Lead }

"Serge is a very professional recruiter who gets things done. When I approached Serge, I didn’t yet have a clear image of my ideal job. Through the questions Serge asked me and the examples he gave, that image became clearer and clearer. You can tell he has in-depth knowledge in the field of Java and the associated frameworks and tools. In a very short time we managed to find a new job. In short, a very pleasant and smooth collaboration!"

Frank

{ Software Developer }

"Serge is a very pleasant recruiter who helped me with a lot of knowledge of the local job market (Utrecht), a realistic view and constructive feedback. He helped me find my new job in a very short time, which turned out to be a perfect match! I can recommend working with him to everyone."

Floor

{ Tech Lead & Manager }

"Serge helped me with my latest career move. What makes him so special is that he works unlike any other recruiter. He listens attentively to both sides and sees both the candidate and the employer as his customer. I was a software developer and wanted to grow into a team lead and later manager. Serge was critical, precise and paid attention to every detail to perfectly match not just my skills, but also my ambitions. Thanks to his effort, I now work together with him to find new people for my own team."
