IT’S ONLY GOOD IF IT’S PERFECT!

In 2002, I started my own agency, a decision that I still enjoy to this day. Passion for the profession and a high degree of involvement are the basis of our success. This applies not only to me and our senior consultants, but also to the cooperation and expertise of the client, which is essential for a successful recruitment process, as well as a professional presentation and preparation of the candidate. In order to make the perfect match, dedication and trust from all three parties are necessary. This leads to a good and sustainable collaboration.

I have a legal background, but later worked in management support and HR as well. Both my work and life experience are very useful in my role at van der pal recruitment. With her enthusiasm, Henriette convinced me very quickly to join the team. I feel very much at home here, there is nothing more enjoyable than finding the right match between candidate and client to the satisfaction of both parties. The personal approach in this profession is very important and that’s what makes it so fascinating.

“Your value is determined by your environment and I love to be a part of that”

In 2015, after completing my marketing communication management education at HvA, I joined van der pal pecruitment. As I delved deeper into how I could make a difference in my personal career, I came to a conclusion. I wanted to work in a role where commerce and making a meaningful impact for someone came together in a valuable way. Henriëtte gave me the opportunity to start as a consultant, a position that suits me enormously. In the future, I hope to continue developing myself within this niche where I find that people, backgrounds, beliefs, and work ethos continue to fascinate me.

With great pleasure and a real hands-on mentality, I support the consultants with all matters surrounding the smooth running of our recruitment and selection procedures.

I feel completely at home at van der pal pecruitment and get increasingly motivated when I see that candidates are intensely happy with our assistance towards their new career step.

Additionally, I take on tasks regarding our office management, marketing campaigns and work closely with the finance department.

At van der pal pecruitment, you are entrusted with the responsibility to shape your own role and given the opportunity to grow and develop alongside the consultants.
