Blonk Group – Where executive talents meet their Match
Why we exist
In a world of constant business transformation, executive recruitment is still stuck in the past — slow, opaque, and frustrating for both leaders and candidates. At Blonk, we believe it is time to change that.
We created a new kind of executive search experience — one where senior talent and hiring leaders connect with simplicity, speed, and purpose.
Our ambition
We are here to break down the barriers in executive hiring.
Driven by human connection and powered by intelligent technology, we design tools and services that are:
Simpler – removing friction and complexity
Smarter – using data and intuition to guide decisions
More Human – focusing on fit, potential, and personality
For companies, we deliver a competitive hiring advantage.
For executives, we offer clarity and control in navigating career moves that matter.
Where we come from
Blonk was born in Silicon Valley — with one bold idea:
Can we make executive recruitment feel more like meaningful connection?
We started with the world’s first Tinder-for-jobs app — a mobile-first platform that matched top talent and hiring leaders using advanced algorithms and real-time interaction.
Since then, we have evolved into a full suite of executive search solutions — from intelligent sourcing and matching to engagement and retention tools — all built with one goal: helping great people find great people.
The power of people Matching
We believe recruitment is not a transaction — it is a relationship.
That is why our philosophy is inspired by love matching:
People join people, not job descriptions.
Unspoken motivations matter as much as visible qualifications.
Culture, chemistry, and timing can make or break a Match.
Blonk captures the rational and irrational dimensions of decision-making — aligning candidates and companies on purpose, values, and vision.
Join the Blonk way
We are reimagining executive search — for leaders who value connection, not convention.
Match with what truly fits.
Our team
We’re more than headhunters — we’re trusted advisors, partners, and matchmakers in leadership.

Executive Search
In a wide and global transforming business environment, we want to provide means to Executive Talents and hiring leaders to find each other. Blonk is the place where both of them can find their match.
Executive search practices remain very traditional despite a very fast changing business environment.
This gap is often perceived as painful and frustrating for all the parties involved.
We are driven by the idea of tearing down walls and making things simple and efficient.
Passionate about people and convinced of the importance of fit in the work context, we have been dreaming of crafting innovative solutions that have a lasting impact in the executive hiring space.
We aim at bringing a business competitive edge to our clients through innovative Executive Search practices.
We aim at bringing to candidates the best approaches and technologies to help them find the right opportunities and engage the right hiring leaders.
Our core application, created in Silicon Valley, is a mobile-first application that connects directly hiring leaders and top talents preselected by a matching algorithm. We developed a full suite of integrated applications and services to support hiring leaders attract, engage, select and retain the right talents. All our applications and services are also driven to provide the equivalent level of means for the candidates to find, engage, select the people and opportunities which fit their style and ambition.
We have been inspired by love-matching principles in the design of our processes and applications. We believe recruitment is very similar to dating.
It is a matter of matching people within an organization and like in love matching, recruitment is full of irrational elements and unspoken motivations.
Blonk captures these dimensions to ensure the right match and transform the recruitment experience.
Interestingly, Blonk started as the world’s first tinder for jobs app in California.
