Leadstars Expands Recruitment Marketing Solutions for Staffing Agencies Across Europe and the United States

Leadstars is expanding its recruitment marketing services for staffing and recruitment agencies, combining candidate acquisition, client acquisition and automated outreach into one growth focused approach.

Netherlands, September 7, 2026 -- Leadstars, a recruitment marketing company specializing in staffing and recruitment agencies, is expanding its presence across Europe and the United States as agencies increasingly look for more predictable ways to attract both candidates and new clients.

Founded by Micha Houtkamp, Leadstars focuses exclusively on the recruitment and staffing industry. The company helps agencies build scalable acquisition systems using a combination of paid advertising, outbound outreach, recruitment marketing and automation.

Unlike traditional marketing agencies that work across a wide range of industries, Leadstars has positioned its services specifically around the challenges faced by recruitment companies.

“Recruitment agencies essentially operate two acquisition engines at the same time,” said Micha Houtkamp, Founder of Leadstars. “They continuously need qualified candidates for open positions, while also needing a consistent pipeline of companies that are looking for recruitment support. Our systems are designed around solving both sides of that equation.”

Two Growth Systems for Recruitment Agencies

Leadstars currently operates two primary solutions.

Its Job Applicant System focuses on candidate acquisition. Recruitment agencies can use targeted advertising, sourcing campaigns, job distribution and mobile optimized recruitment funnels to generate applicants for difficult to fill vacancies.

The company also provides its Client Acquisition System, which is designed to help recruitment agencies generate conversations with prospective clients. Campaigns can combine LinkedIn outreach, email outreach, paid advertising and targeted prospecting based on a recruitment agency's ideal customer profile.

By combining these channels, Leadstars recruitment marketing solutions aim to reduce an agency's reliance on individual recruiters manually searching for every new candidate or client.

The company works with recruitment businesses operating in sectors including healthcare, technical recruitment, logistics, professional services and specialist staffing.

Automation Is Changing Recruitment Marketing

The expansion comes as recruitment agencies increasingly adopt automation and artificial intelligence across sourcing, communication and business development.

Leadstars integrates automation throughout its campaigns while maintaining a strong focus on targeting and personalized messaging.

According to the company, automation is most effective when it supports a clear recruitment strategy rather than replacing human interaction altogether.

“The goal is not to automate relationships,” Houtkamp said. “The goal is to automate repetitive acquisition activities so recruiters can spend more time speaking with candidates, clients and prospects who are actually relevant.”

Leadstars also uses centralized reporting and recruitment technology to help agencies understand where candidates and business opportunities are coming from.

International Growth

While Leadstars originally developed its recruitment marketing experience in the Netherlands, the company has increasingly expanded internationally.

Its growing United States activities are focused on staffing agencies looking to increase candidate flow, win new client accounts and build repeatable acquisition processes across multiple markets.

The company believes specialization will remain an important part of its strategy as it grows.

“Everything we build is designed specifically for recruitment and staffing companies,” Houtkamp said. “That focus allows us to understand the economics, the sales process and the day to day challenges of a recruitment agency much more deeply.”

As competition for both talent and employer relationships continues, Leadstars expects recruitment agencies to place increasing emphasis on systematic candidate and client acquisition rather than relying primarily on referrals, job boards or individual recruiter networks.
