About Set & Match

Three sectors.
One obsession:
the right person, for the right role.

Set & Match is a specialist recruitment agency focused exclusively on Retail, Tech/IT and GTM & SaaS — across Europe, in three languages. No generalists. No noise.

The people

Our conviction
"Three sectors.
One commercial thread."

Retail is going digital. Tech is humanising. SaaS is the engine connecting both. The best leaders we've ever placed understood all three — and that's exactly the kind of agency we built.

Retail & Commerce
We know Retail
from the inside out.
20+ years of commercial careers inside major Retail groups across France, Spain and the UK
We understand turnover cycles, seasonal pressure and what a high-performer looks like in your specific context
Our network includes passive candidates who aren't on any job board — because they trust us
Paris — Retail capital of Europe
Tech / IT
We speak Tech.
Fluently.
8 years recruiting for tech giants, scale-ups and industrial groups in digital transformation
We assess developers, architects, CTOs and product managers with the technical depth the role requires
Freelance and permanent — we cover the full spectrum of Tech/IT talent across Europe
Barcelona — Tech hub of Southern Europe
GTM & SaaS
We recruit the people
who grow SaaS.
We speak the language of SaaS revenue — ARR, NRR, quota attainment, CAC — not just job titles
Sales, Marketing and Customer Success specialists for B2B companies from Series A to enterprise
A wrong GTM hire means a missed quarter. We assess commercial fit, not just experience on paper
Europe — Remote-first & on-site

What we stand for

Three things that don't
change. Ever.

01
Depth over volume
We will never send you 40 CVs. We send 3 to 5 people worth your time — because our reputation is only as good as our last shortlist.
02
Sector fluency
We only work in Retail, Tech/IT and GTM SaaS. That's not a limitation — it's the reason we can do in 5 days what generalist agencies can't do in 6 weeks.
03
We stand behind our work
3–6 month guarantee on every MATCH placement. Unlimited coaching until you're hired on SET. We don't walk away when the invoice is paid.
Work with us

Whether you're hiring
or being hired —
