Procurement specialists.
People first.
Since 2010 we have been connecting organisations with the right procurement and supply chain professionals — permanent, interim, seconded and through executive search.
Built on expertise.
Still personal.
Founded in Rijswijk, 2010.
xentys was founded in Rijswijk in 2010 by Maarten Smits van Oyen. He had worked as a buyer himself since 1993 and knew the profession from the inside – including how rarely a recruitment agency truly understood what he was looking for.
Too many agencies sent piles of CVs. We wanted to offer insight, understanding and matches that were the right fit.
So we made a choice that still defines us: to stay specialists. Procurement and supply chain, and nothing else. That is why every consultant really knows the roles, the language and the market — in detail, not just roughly.
“If you really know procurement, you bring people together better — for the company and for the person.”
Maarten Smits van Oyen — founder, buyer since 1993
More than fifteen years later, we are still specialists — by conviction. The market has grown and the team has grown, but the promise is the same: personal contact, deep sector knowledge and relationships that outlast a single placement.
The people behind xentys.
Three specialists, one focus. You always know exactly who you are talking to.

Four principles, from day one.
They are not slogans. They are the reason clients and candidates come back — and the bar we set ourselves on every assignment.
Specialism, not a sideline
Procurement and supply chain only. No general recruitment, no side activities.
Quality over quantity
A carefully vetted shortlist of three to five candidates. Never a pile of CVs to sift through yourself.
One point of contact
The same dedicated recruiter stays involved with you, from the first conversation to the placement.
Honest and direct
Clear expectations and feedback, throughout the process. If we cannot help, we tell you on day one.
