About Us

People first, technology

as a force.

Luke specialises in recruitment for management positions and senior professionals at bachelor's and master's level. Permanent or interim, across eight sectors, with an approach that goes well beyond the CV.

We believe that the best match comes from looking further than experience on paper. At who someone is, what drives them and whether they fit the culture and ambitions of an organisation. That is what we do every day.

People first. Digital first.

Who we are

Luke was founded on the conviction that recruitment can be more personal and more precise. Not forwarding a CV and waiting, but truly understanding what an organisation needs and what motivates a candidate.

We are a team of specialists, each focused on their own sector and area of expertise. Our consultants know the markets they recruit in. They understand the roles, know the people and recognise what it takes to make a match succeed.

We do this in two ways. Through recruitment and selection for organisations looking to fill a management or senior position for the long term: a targeted search, scientifically grounded assessment and a shortlist of candidates who fit on both expertise and culture. And through interim management for situations that cannot wait: a qualified manager at the table within three days, selected with the same level of care.

You want someone who fits your team, grows with your organization, and adds long-term value.

Our online assessments give clear insight into a candidate’s behavior, motivation, and cultural fit, so you know who’s right for your organization.

You’ll only meet professionals who are a strong match, on both skills and character.
That’s how we turn recruitment into long-term impact.

Luke and Quaestus

Luke and Quaestus are two independent organisations within the same group. Each with its own focus, its own consultants and its own network.

Luke
Luke recruits management and senior professionals at bachelor's and master's level. From team leader and department manager to director. Permanent or interim, across eight sectors. Luke focuses on positions where professional expertise, leadership style and cultural fit together determine whether someone will be successful.

Quaestus
Quaestus specialises in executive search at C level. For positions such as CEO, CFO, COO, CHRO and other board level roles. Quaestus recruits for the highest tier of organisations: the leaders who set the direction.

Where Luke recruits through a strong network and a targeted search strategy, Quaestus conducts full executive search processes for positions where discretion, international orientation and access to an exclusive network of senior executives are decisive.

Luke's 'Green book'

Selection with substance. Luke's green book.

Luke works with a fully renewed assessment platform, developed in collaboration with Selection Lab, a specialist in assessment tools. The methodology is set out in the green book: the scientific foundation behind the way Luke evaluates candidates.

The approach combines three scientifically grounded models:

Personality through the Big Five model (OCEAN): openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism. The most widely used and validated personality model in modern psychology.
Motivators through Schwartz's theory of values: ten universal motivators that determine what drives someone in the long term, from stimulation and achievement to benevolence and self-direction.
Cultural fit through Groysberg's culture model: eight culture styles along two axes (how people interact with one another and how they respond to change), which reveal whether a candidate's way of working aligns with the organisation.

The outcomes come together in one clear match score. That score is not a grade, but a substantiated conversation tool. It provides direction for the decision: where is there strong alignment, and where might there be tension between the candidate and the organisation?

Technology provides direction. The recruiter makes the match.
