How we proceed
1. Understanding your issue
We listen carefully, ask sharp questions to clearly identify your needs.
2. Smart use of our network
With 18 years of experience, we have built a strong network. We combine this with the latest AI tools. In this way we find the right people faster and we keep time for what counts: personal contact and the best match.
3. The selection that counts
Not a pile of resumes, but a shortlist that you can immediately proceed with. Candidates with knowledge and character, who we really get to know in an intake of an hour. Carefully chosen on role, team and culture - and always with our substantiation of why they fit.
4. Real interviews
We make sure candidates feel comfortable so that their personalities are revealed. With smart questions and scenarios, we look beyond the resume: at motivation, potential and culture fit. This allows you to see who fits your team perfectly.
5. We stay involved
With us, it doesn't stop with the match. We stay involved throughout the assignment. That way we guarantee that your new colleague not only gets off to a good start, but also makes a lasting difference.

Frequently asked questions
Is your question not listed?
What are the pros and cons of posting?
With secondment, you work temporarily with a professional employed by us. This allows you to quickly acquire additional knowledge and capacity, without employer risks or administrative hassles.
Our people can be deployed immediately within Finance, Risk, Data and IT and continue to develop under our supervision, which is reflected in their quality and fresh perspective.
Secondment is often slightly more expensive in the long run than recruitment & selection, which is why it is often used for shorter assignments or temporary reinforcement.
How soon can you introduce candidates?
It depends on the profile, but we move immediately once your question is clear. Thanks to our strong network, good online visibility and large number of applications per month, we quickly reach the right people. You have a fixed point of contact and we keep the lines short, so we can make adjustments quickly. We only present candidates who are a good fit, which saves you time and work.
What if the match doesn’t work out?
We stay involved throughout the assignment. Our talent managers have regular contact with you and the professional to discuss how things are going. If something is chafing, we quickly identify it and look together at what is needed to improve it. If it doesn't work despite that effort, we look for an appropriate solution. This is how we keep a grip on the collaboration and ensure that the result is right.
Do you work with all experience levels?
Yes, we work with starters, mediors and senior specialists. Thanks to our years of experience in Finance, Risk, Data and IT, we know exactly which level suits your issue. Whether you are looking for temporary reinforcement on an operational, analytical or strategic level - we will find the professional who adds immediate value to your team.
Can we hire them afterwards?
Yes, it is possible to convert secondment to a deta-permanent construction. Usually after a period of two years you can take over the candidate free of charge. This gives you the time to get to know each other well and you can be sure that the match is right - without additional costs afterwards.
