Private hiring events in Amsterdam: FAQ
How much does a private hiring event in Amsterdam cost?
Private events are priced as a flat event fee, scoped to your roles, headcount and venue, and there is no placement fee on the engineers you hire. HackerX clients typically see a cost per hire under $500, compared with $4,000 to $5,000 through agencies. Send your roles through the form on this page for a Amsterdam quote.
How many engineers attend a private event in Amsterdam?
We size the room to your hiring plan. Public HackerX events target 80 to 100 developer registrations. At a private event every invitee has been screened for your roles, so a smaller room still produces hires.

Most clients host at their Amsterdam office, which lets candidates meet the team where they would work. If you do not have space, we arrange a venue in Amsterdam. Virtual private events are also available for distributed teams.
Which roles can you recruit for in Amsterdam?
Our Amsterdam talent pool is strongest in Backend Engineer, Full Stack Engineer and Frontend Engineer roles, and the most common skills are Agile, HTML, JavaScript, SQL and Java. We also source engineering managers, data, security and QA candidates.
Is HackerX a recruiting agency?
