Young talent strengthens ABN AMRO Hypotheken Group
Attracting young talent is crucial for organizations that want to grow and innovate. At ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, this plays an important role to remain future-proof and keep up with a rapidly changing market. Ferdi Leenders (Head of Performance Management) shares his experiences about attracting young talent in collaboration with Solid Professionals.
The challenge
"New, young colleagues bring up-to-date knowledge - exactly what we need for data-driven work," says Ferdi.
"Yet finding young talent is not always easy. Our traditional image and limited visibility in places where young talent is located make it difficult to reach them. Our lack of time and capacity makes this challenge even greater. Solid Professionals offers the right support through targeted sourcing, careful pre-selection and intensive coaching of young professionals. This allows us to quickly and efficiently attract the right talents that fit our organization perfectly."
What sets our young professionals apart
"What strikes me immediately about the young professionals is their eagerness and eagerness to learn. They want to add value from day one and come up with fresh ideas that help innovate our processes," Ferdi says enthusiastically.
"What really sets them apart is their ability to move quickly and quickly master new trends and tools. They also bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm, which creates a positive dynamic in the team. Of course, we sometimes have to slow down their ambition a bit, but they bring exactly the innovation we need."
"What immediately stands out about the young professionals is their eagerness and curiosity"

The role of the talent manager
"For me, the talent manager is the face of Solid Professionals," explains Ferdi. "They are the connecting link between the young professionals and our organization. From day one they guide the young professionals in their personal and professional development. They organize trainings, coaching sessions and provide regular check-ins. What I especially appreciate is that they are also there when things are not going so well. Together with us and the young professional, they make a concrete improvement plan and provide extra guidance. Thanks to this personal approach, the young professionals grow and really make a difference in our organization!"
Over 10 years of successful cooperation
"We have now been working with Solid Professionals for over 10 years," says Ferdi proudly. "In that time countless young professionals have successfully started their careers with us. What makes this cooperation strong is the partnership: it's not just about placing personnel, but also about guidance, growth and development. Together we build a future-proof and dynamic team."
