Why Serendi Flex
Six advantages that set Serendi Flex apart in Europe, starting with the one no Continental competitor can match.
1
Multi-Country, One Contract
Hire across multiple European countries on one contract and one contact. One standard process keeps every cross-border search simple.
2
Multilingual Engagement
Outreach and screening run in the candidate's own language. A conversation that feels native often wins over a strong passive prospect.
3
Beyond the Active Market
Fresh pipelines on every search through AI-powered multi-platform sourcing. Our recruiters decide who makes the shortlist.
4
GDPR-Native by Default
Candidate data is on EU infrastructure, handled to GDPR standards from first contact. Compliance is settled before it comes up.
5
Enterprise-Grade Credentials
Every Flex search is run by the recruiters behind our award-winning enterprise RPO programs, with over a decade of European hiring experience.
6
Clean Path to RPO
When hiring outgrows a subscription, you move up to a tailored Serendi RPO engagement, run by the team that already knows you.
We worked in an agile manner and nicely adapted depending on the situation and changes. This is how the team dedicated to LNDS went above and beyond for us.
Head Of People
Serendi delivered exceptional support when we needed to scale in a new location. Their team was responsive, flexible, and genuinely invested in our success. Their recruitment coordinators were game-changers, the engine that kept high-volume recruitment running smoothly.
Talent Acquisition Manager
Serendi’s team feels like our own, going beyond transactions with high standards, asking the right questions, and using market data and candidate insights to build our company together.
Head of Talent Acquisition
Serendi established a structured end-to-end RPO model that delivered 100+ hires annually and built lasting trust. Our collaboration was so effective that it became the blueprint for Ferring's internal talent structure.
Talent Acquisition Partner
Serendi helped us secure top talent while eliminating the burden of high agency costs. Their flexible, success-based model means we only pay for real results, making hiring both predictable and stress-free.
Global Head of Talent Acquisition
Serendi has been a loyal partner to PPG for over 10 years. Cooperation is very good, communication is easy-going, and candidate quality is strong thanks to detailed intake discussions.
HR Business Manager
At the kick-off we activate your plan and you brief your first role. After the meeting we send you the contract and the invoice; once you sign and pay, sourcing starts. The contract holds no surprises: everything in it is in the Terms and Conditions linked in the booking form, so you can read it all before you book.
An intake credit starts one role intake. Each credit initiates one search and covers the full intake, sourcing, screening, and shortlisting process. Credits must be activated within your plan's validity window and can be used flexibly across roles and timing.
Inside an active subscription, unused credits roll over into your next cycle. They only expire if you terminate the package completely.
No. The validity only defines when a credit must be activated. Once activated, the recruitment can run for as long as needed, even after the validity window closes. A search started in month 3 of a 4-month validity continues beyond month 4.
Yes, at any time. You pay only the price difference between tiers, keep all unused credits, and gain the new tier's features immediately. Active searches move to the upgraded features too, with timing depending on their stage. The new tier's validity starts from the upgrade date. Downgrades apply at the next renewal.
A minimum of 3 vetted candidates per role, each with a concise cover page and LinkedIn link, full structured screening documentation, candidate-submitted documents, and, where the candidate consents, a short personal video introduction.
Yes, on Flex Scale. If a placed candidate resigns voluntarily within three months, Serendi restarts the search with no new closing fee and no new intake credit, provided the role reopens with substantially the same requirements.
Serendi Flex delivers across Europe, in 18 European languages, under one contract. With hubs including Switzerland, the UK, Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Hungary, we operate in almost all European countries, with a significant presence in the DACH region, Benelux, and across Western and Central Europe.
