We find top talent in 4-8 weeks.

No more 6 month searches.. Our strategy generates 90% more candidates than traditional recruiting.

Cut hiring costs by 50%

No ridiculous recruiter commissions. No interim markups. We believe everyone should be able to hire great talent.

Hires who stay for years, not months.

Purpose-driven hires stay 3-5x longer than average hires because they actually want to.

For 9 out of 10 businesses, traditional recruiting takes too long, costs too much, and fails too often.

You’ve tried job posts, recruiters, referrals - but the system still fails. This isn’t just bad luck - the traditional way of hiring hasn't changed in 20 years. And it shows.

It takes months to find good people

Your LinkedIn job posts get almost no candidates and it takes 6-8 months to hire someone

Candidates look good on paper but don’t have the right attitude and leave after 3-6 months

You hire someone but then have to let them go because they didn’t fit in your team… and start all over again

The best people are often already working at another company

They’re busy working somewhere else, not browsing job posts or your website.

Recruiters or interim agencies charge expensive fees but fail to deliver

Recruiters and headhunters charge 20-30% of an annual salary as fees but can’t find you the right people

Case Studies & References

Our client’s results speak for themselves - measurable in numbers and facts.

Companies that were once in a similar situation to you.

Case Study 1

55 applications in 4 weeks, 3 final candidates, 1 skilled technician hired

David Gillain

CEO

Initial Situation:

Picture of a red cross, demonstrating bad side of normal recruiting.

High competition for skilled technicians: A lot of blue-collar technicians were already employed and well-paid, and Allocking didn’t want to steal people from competitors.

Not many candidates in rural regions: It was hard to find skilled technicians in less populated areas of Flanders.

Frustration with recruiters: Traditional recruiting methods were unsuccessful and a lot of money and time was wasted.

Results:

Successful recruiting: 1 skilled door technician hired from 55 applications, even in a tight market

Predictable flow of candidates: Consistent and steady stream of candidates allowed Allocking to grow and expand faster

Exceeded expectations: The result far exceeded David Gillian’s expectations.

Allocking’s Purpose: To install and repair doors that keep important buildings safe and secure.

Case Study 2

100+ applications in 2 weeks, 10 final candidates, 2 hires for tour operator

Manuela Libens

Founder

Initial Situation:

Unsuccessful search: Had tried to find people for 6+ months, no good candidates through LinkedIn job posts or other platforms

Order backlog: Team overwhelmed with customer orders and requests that couldn’t be processed in time

People leaving: Colleagues often left after 2-3 months because of low morale, and many colleagues were on sick leave

Graph that shows the result achieved for one of the clients.

Results:

Successful recruiting: 2 people hired from 13 strong final candidates and 100+ applications in just 2 weeks

Case Study 3

74 applications in 4 weeks, 8 final candidates, 1 hire (Digital Product Manager)

Guy-Joël de Lhoneux

HR & Finance Director

Initial Situation:

Too long to find people: It sometimes took 4-6 months to find the right people for key roles, which slowed down progress and put pressure on the team.

Low quality candidates: Whise got applications from candidates, but most weren’t at the right level of what they were looking for.

Costly hiring mistakes: Hiring someone who wasn’t the right fit (especially on mindset or drive) came with high costs in recruiting, training, and offboarding.

Results:

Successful recruiting: 1 digital product manager hired from 8 strong final candidates and 74 applications

Unexpected bonus hire: Another strong final candidate was a great match for a different role Whise was looking for.

Time-to-hire radically reduced: Role filled in just 4 weeks instead of previous 4-6 months, a real game-changer.

Whise’s Purpose: To build real estate software that removes stress and creates trust for everyone involved in buying or selling a home.

A look behind the scenes:

This is how we get you top talent quickly and consistently

1. Razor-sharp company purpose & unique employer positioning

Simple "we’re hiring" job ads never make you unique. That’s why we strategically define what truly sets your company apart - your purpose - and why top talent should choose you over the competition.

We develop recruiting marketing that uniquely places your company as the first choice for people who truly align with your company's purpose.

Why this step is so crucial:

In today’s market, skilled people have options and can choose where to work. Switching to a new employer is one of the biggest decisions they make - especially for candidates with families. We make that decision easier for them by crafting a clear, compelling company purpose that they strongly resonate with and can commit to long-term.

2. New applications from the right people in your region

We launch targeted recruiting campaigns that appear 2–3 times per day in the right places - on potential candidates’ phones through social media, on the commute to work, during lunch breaks, and in the evenings - so that switching to your company becomes the first thing top candidates think of.

We tap into the passive candidate market - targeting people who already have jobs and aren't actively scrolling on LinkedIn, websites or job boards - but would switch for the right purpose-driven opportunity. This means we reach 2–4x more people than traditional methods.

Our strategy adapted to your industry:

What many people neglect when recruiting is that every region and sector is unique and has different requirements. Whether it's a rural area with a low population level or a metropolitan city with high levels of competition, we tailor your purpose recruiting engine to your needs.

Picture of a map demonstrating where Pebble Wave does business.

3. We filter, qualify, and pre-interview candidates for you

Applications are only useful if they’re from the right people.

That’s why we built our own applicant tracking system designed specifically for purpose-driven hiring. All incoming applications are filtered, sorted, and pre-qualified in real-time.

But we don’t just rely on software. Our team personally screens and interviews all promising candidates - assessing not just skills and experience, but attitude, values, and long-term fit with your company’s purpose.

We look beyond what’s on a CV to identify the people who are most likely to thrive and stay.If someone sounds good on paper but isn’t aligned with your culture or likely to commit long-term, we won’t recommend them.

‍Custom filtering. Better candidates. More offer acceptances.

Because you’ll only speak with candidates who are genuinely motivated to join your company for the right reasons, your time-to-hire gets shorter and your offer acceptance rate gets higher.

Picture of 4 laptops. On each are statistics images.

4. You choose and hire the best candidates

You meet the top 5-10 candidates who are most aligned with the role and your company’s purpose. These candidates are more likely to accept offers and stay in your team longer - because they genuinely want to work for you and nobody else.

Future predictability and consistency:

Your purpose recruiting engine becomes more intelligent over time and once up and running, will generate more candidates for you now and in the future. We monitor candidate quality and adjust campaigns as needed so that you reduce your cost per hire and become independent of overpriced headhunters or interim agencies.

There’s traditional recruiting. And then there’s Purpose Recruiting.

Traditional Recruiters & Interim Agencies

Speed

Traditional recruiters take 6-8 months to fill roles, often slowing down your business growth.

Quality

Most candidates from traditional recruiters are motivated by money or convenience, not by your company's purpose.

Cost

Traditional recruiters or interim agencies charge overpriced fees - often 15–30% of a candidate’s annual salary.

Retention

New hires leave within 2-3 months or you have to let them go because they don’t have the right attitude - costing you time and money.

No. Of Candidates

Most recruiters only reach the 20% of candidates actively looking for a job on LinkedIn or career sites.

Employer Branding

Generic job posts and poor online presence doesn’t reflect your culture and scares off the best candidates.

Pebble Wave - Purpose Recruiting

Speed

Our average time-to-hire is 4-8 weeks - reliably driven by technology, purpose, and brains.

Quality

We attract people who apply to you because they believe in your company’s purpose - not just their paycheck.

Cost

Cut your hiring costs by 40% - one fixed fee - no commissions, no surprises.

Retention

Purpose-driven hires are psychologically aligned with your long-term vision and want to stay and grow with your team for years to come.

No. Of Candidates

Our strategy reaches up to 95% of potential candidates - including passive candidates that standard methods miss.

Employer Branding

Purpose-driven employer branding with video, photos and career website gives candidates a true feeling of your company.

The Team

Who is behind pebble wave

Andrew Osipov - Managing Director

Some families pass down tradition. Andrew’s passed down innovation.

His grandfather launched Soviet rockets into space. His father became a leading liquid crystal physicist.

Andrew became obsessed with human behaviour, patterns and data - studying political science and quantitative research at Cambridge from age 17.

Before developing Purpose Recruiting, Andrew worked for the Founder & CEO of HomeServe, the £4.1 billion global home services giant.

There, he saw first-hand how difficult recruiting and finding the right people was - even for a huge international company.

In London, he saw how people often took jobs because of the paycheck, not because they were truly aligned with the company’s purpose.

That realisation became the seed of the Purpose Recruiting Engine™: a method not just for filling roles, but for attracting people aligned with your company’s purpose - and want to stay for the long term.

Samee Zahid - Managing Director

Most people settle for good enough. Samee refused to.
‍
After facing 100+ job rejections at age 17, Samee's persistence landed him at Lenovo as a student salesman.

What followed was a meteoric rise through some of the world's biggest companies - Samsung, Tesla, and Worldline - where he climbed from Junior Inside Sales to Head of Global Sales Growth in six years, contributing over €500 million in revenue.

Having experienced both sides of hiring - from desperate job seeker to talent curator building superstar teams - Samee recognized the fundamental problem: everyone was settling.

Job seekers took roles for paychecks, not purpose. Companies hired whoever was "good enough," not who truly cared.

The most successful placements happened when both sides found genuine alignment, yet the industry was built around compromise.

That realisation became the foundation of Purpose Recruiting: a method not just for filling roles, but for connecting ambitious professionals with companies whose missions truly resonate with them - creating partnerships that drive exceptional growth for everyone involved. Bringing all his experience but this time for the right mission.

Stephan Bostoen – Founder & Investor

Stephan built 7 companies over 30 years - and hired hundreds of people along the way.

Some of those hires helped him scale teams from 10 to 500+. Others… nearly sank businesses.

After three decades as a founder and CEO, Stephan knew one thing for sure: bad hires cost more than money. They drain your time, your energy, and your belief in your own vision.

And most recruiting methods are set up to fail - they focus on pushing CVs and filters, not drive or long-term fit.

Stephan is the main investor behind Purpose Recruiting - not just financially, but strategically.

With a deep background in business growth and a net worth of €800M+, he brings a founder’s lens to everything we do.

He's helped shape Purpose Recruiting into what he always wished he had as a CEO: a system to attract the right people — fast, affordably, and with staying power.

Your hiring success is our mission. We bring deep experience from outside the recruiting world - because that’s what it takes to stand out.
