Brunel International

Company Description

Brunel International is a global staffing and workforce solutions company that connects skilled professionals with companies in engineering, oil and gas, mining, renewable energy, IT, and life sciences. When a major energy project needs specialized engineers or a technology company requires IT contractors, Brunel finds, vets, and places the right talent. The company provides three main services: secondment (placing professionals at client sites for extended assignments), direct recruitment (permanent placements), and project-based solutions where Brunel manages entire teams or projects on behalf of clients. Brunel's specialists work on some of the world's most challenging projects, from offshore oil platforms and LNG facilities to wind farms and pharmaceutical plants. The company has a network of 12,000 specialists deployed globally. Founded in 1975 in Amsterdam, Brunel grew from a Dutch technical staffing agency into a global workforce solutions provider operating across six continents. The company was named one of TIME magazine's 'World's Best Companies 2024,' recognized for employee satisfaction, revenue growth, and ESG performance. Recent strategic moves include the 2024 acquisition of Taylor Hopkinson, a leading renewable energy recruitment specialist, strengthening Brunel's position in clean energy markets. Headquartered in Amsterdam with approximately 12,000 specialists on assignment and internal staff across 40+ countries, Brunel is led by CEO Peter de Laat. The company focuses on specialized technical markets where deep expertise and global mobility are essential, positioning itself as a strategic partner for clients managing complex international workforce needs.
