Can I simply be a very versatile interim recruiter… and enjoy all the things I do? Or should I choose between being an international recruiter, an executive recruiter, a white-collar, blue-collar, or tech recruiter? Often, during intake meetings for new projects, I find thatespecially recruiters and hr directors want me to fit in a in just 1 box. Even think I should choose one. But can't I just tick several boxes? Isn't it precisely the strength of a freelance recruiter to be versatile?     In my latest project, I was initially hired to fill staff positions, improve the recruitment process and set up direct a direct sourcing to attract truck drivers (which was completely new to me). However, due to an internal change, I subsequently recruited more than 50 logistics blue-collar workers through temp agencies. Imagine if I had been just a staff recruiter... Does this make me a blue-collar recruiter now? No, because in this assignment, I also recruited a WMS business analyst, a financial controller, customer service and finance specialists and transport planners. I set up a new processes and a dashboard evaluating the performance of agencies. Try fitting all that in just one box!   Am I a hands-on operational recruiter or one who prefers working with processes, dashboards, and projects? Am I a sourcer or rather a recruiter? The same question arises here: I am a freelancer - isn't my added value precisely that I am broadly oriented and do and enjoy multiple things?   After all, I became an interim recruiter for the variety and the challenge this way of working offers me. For being able to consistently deliver successful contributions in new industries - while working on new vacancies and gaps. To bring value for my money . What's the problem with that?  #interimrecruiter #interim #recruitment #recruiter #freelance #freelancerecruiter #hr #recruteur #belgië #belgique #nederland #france #talentacquisition #available

​Intrigued by the changing workforce landscape? You're not alone! Our Talent Trends 2024 report “The Expectation Gap” uncovers another crucial element: the increasing desire for autonomy. The majority of employees (71%) surveyed in the Netherlands would decline a promotion to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This sends a clear message: trust your team and empower them with flexible work options. Here's why it matters: When employees feel trusted to manage their workload, it fosters a sense of ownership and ultimately leads to higher satisfaction and productivity. However, a concerning trend has emerged: As companies enforce stricter in-office policies, we're seeing a rise in employee dissatisfaction and a higher turnover rate. This emphasises the need for clear communication and a focus on employee well-being. Want to learn more about your workforce expectations? Our report dives deeper into this trend and offers actionable strategies.

"What does high performance mean to you?" 🏆 That's what we asked our Chief Sales Officer Robin Sanders, our Top Biller Mike Guilday and our Rookie of the Year kimberlee bouvier during a live panel event discussing high performance - moderated by our Performance & Development expert Lizzie Verbeek. ⭐ One of the biggest challenges for sales leadership is trying to bottle up the winning behaviors and best practices of top performers so that you can teach the rest of the field. 🔮 And sometimes its just reminding them that high performers are human too (yes, really!) and there is no substitute for doing the beautiful basics - hard work, dedication, great customer service and a lot of perseverance. 📋 Big thanks to these four for sharing their time, knowledge and experiences to upskill their colleagues! 🙌 Here's a little snapshot of their tips: Robin: It's a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work. People fail when they sit back, high performers are successful because they don't stop! Mike: It's about striving to hit your targets, taking full advantage of the opportunities in front of you, and helping to grow and develop others around you. Kim: High performance is about being the best you can be. It’s about setting goals and putting your best foot forward, and being committed to achieving those goals. High performers also help create other high performers. #Staffing #Recruitment #Sales #HighPerformance #TopBillerTips
