Trusted by global tech companies scaling in Europe.
From enterprise technology giants to fast-growing product companies. We’ve helped companies from the entire world hire top engineers in Europe’s technology hot spots: Poland, Romania, Spain, London, Berlin, Amsterdam and many more. We get the right people into the pipeline and fix the hiring bottlenecks nobody else could. Our clients stay because we make hiring painfully easy.
Why clients stay
We close roles nobody else even wants to touch.
Niche stacks. Messy job specs. Unrealistic deadlines. Let’s go.
Some recruiters send CVs. We solve problems.
We know the market inside out: who’s hiring, who’s open to talking, and who’s just pretending to love their current job. We don’t spray and pray. We hunt, match, and close.
Problem solving
Some recruiters send CVs. We solve problems.
The goal is not activity. The goal is a closed role.
Market knowledge

Who is hiring, who is open, and where the real signal is across European tech hubs.

Client feedback
What our clients say.
Humeo has provided us with people who fit perfectly on our team, not only because of their skills, but also because of their culture fit, which was crucial for us. Humeo demonstrated a solid knowledge of the market, discussed our expectations in detail, and reacted adequately to the feedback from us, and we are very satisfied with the business relationship we have. I highly recommend Humeo to anyone who wants to set up a unique team.
Kris Dąbrowski, Cofounder & Head of Design, Stonly
What I like most about working with the Humeo team is definitely their flexible and personalized attitude. I appreciate very much the exchange of information between the recruiter and myself, as well as the communication with candidates and the quality of the information provided to them. As an organization, we rely not only on the competencies that our team members have, but also on their soft skills and adaptation to the organizational culture. Humeo provides us with candidates who meet all of these criteria. I have worked with many agencies, and none of them have been as responsive and committed to the quality of recruitment processes.
Karolina Latos, HR Manager, Freshmail
We started working with Humeo in 2016. Of all the agencies we have worked with, Humeo stood out as the one which best understood our needs. We now consider Humeo to be our business partner. They are flexible and effective. In addition to this, they are professional and committed, have excellent communication skills and an outstanding knowledge of the IT industry. Humeo is a reliable, proven, and skilled recruitment partner.
