If you’re here, it’s probably because you’re considering working for Foxtek – great! This blog will help you understand what it’s like to work here and what you can expect from joining our team.

We’re Foxtek, based in the heart of Bristol, and we specialise in the Dutch tech market.

Our mission: To be a leading, tech-first, community-focused recruitment company providing an unrivaled customer experience.

What’s It Like to Work Here?

Working at Foxtek is fast-paced, fun, and sometimes intense. Recruitment is one of the few industries where the harder you work, the more you can earn. For the right person, this competitive environment can be incredibly motivating, driving you to achieve your best.

We’re a very sociable bunch and regularly host social activities. Food plays a big role in these (we’re all BIG foodies!), but we also love a bit of competition: bowling, Padel, and a personal highlight, ‘Foxy Bingo’. Our values are at the core of everything we do.
