Niels Jordens’s Summary

My past employment has given me the chance to gain experience in a broad variety of markets and technologies. Marketing, HRM, recruitment and ICT where areas always present in my educational and work history.

It all comes together to form Careersinholland.com. Utilizing internet, innovation and creativity to try to offer the best recruitment solution possible, which is my passion.

We focus on the best aspects of traditional channels like job boards and recruitment agencies. By combining these in 1 solution we've created a fast, effective an cost efficient service without comprimise towards the quality of matching. Because offering the best match at the right moment should be the goal and our ultimate added value.

We service the English language and multilingual jobmarket in Holland and cross border. Our specialities are: ICT, Callcenter/Customer Care, Engineering, Sales & Marketing and Finance. The majority of candidates are Ba/Bsc level and upwards and from within the EU. All have English language skills as a basic requirement.

Unique: we offer a no cure no pay job board, filtering out all non relevant response which leaves our clients with the best matching CV's. Job posting itself is free of charge and we repost jobs on a variety of additional job boards, networks and Twitter as standard. See presentation below.
