The Big Search

About The Big Search

We’re a consulting organisation helping founders scale great companies, and we’re a technology company building the operating system for independent search consultants called Navis (www.getnavis.com). In 2 of the 3 last years we’ve grown by 100-150% yoy (the other one was COVID 2020) and are aiming for similar numbers in the coming years. It’s a pretty fun ride!

We're about 170 FTE strong across Europe with big global plans. We have been working with companies such as Accel Partners, Northzone, Lego Ventures, Gorillas, Booking.com, Vinted, Revolut, HelloFresh... (you can view more here: https://www.thebigsearch.com). We're growing fast and we are looking for new colleagues to join our company.

Our team started in Amsterdam but has now grown to London, Berlin, Skopje and Budapest – and that’s just the beginning. In 2022 we’re launching in Latin America, France, and the Nordics. We’re looking for the sharpest minds in the talent space to join our mission. As a company that values openness, we’ll say now that we push our employees to go further than they’ve ever gone before. But along the way, there are rewards, excitement, new opportunities, fellowship and, if you’re lucky, the worst jokes you’ll ever hear.
