As a junior business consultant at Expand, Kees focuses on the HR professionals in the network. This involves, for example, making a pre-selection of potential candidates and conducting interviews. In short, he supports the senior business consultants in selecting the right person for the right position.

“Working at Expand is highly recommended for two reasons: firstly, you work together as a close-knit team in which everyone is valued. The second reason is that Expand’s services are based on delivering quality. In the contact that is maintained with our professional network, we strongly value mutual trust and genuine interest.”

Fact: Kees is happy to be working in Brabant again. Now he can finally eat tasty sausage rolls again.

Maartje takes care of the ins and outs of the office. For example, she takes care of invoicing, supports the employees in the office and takes incoming calls.

“My job is challenging and varied, which has made my days fly by so far. In the future I hope to be able to relieve my colleagues even more and I hope to play many fun games with them at the pinball machine.”

Marc is the owner of Expand. He bought the company in 2008 from one of the largest sourcing organizations in the Netherlands. This gave him the space to do business the way he likes to do.

Currently, his role is mainly facilitating. In addition to his responsibility for the finances, he ensures that everyone in the team can play his or her role. Furthermore, he mainly brings HR executives into contact with customers, in order to solve the customer’s question.

“According to my team, I am a leader with a lot of attention for personal development. I think that as a professional you are mainly responsible for your own growth, but the organization must give you the space for this and make the right tools available.”

Fact: Marc likes music and going out.

Yzette is engaged in attracting and filling various HR vacancies. She focuses on building valuable relationships, supervising the recruitment process and a good follow-up with both client and candidate. In addition, she is TMA certified, so she can use this tool to determine even more accurately whether there is a good match.

“What I like most about working at Expand is bringing together the ambitions of a candidate with the wishes of a client. I like it when you notice during the procedure that both parties become enthusiastic and this ultimately leads to a successful placement.”

Fact: Yzette is a fanatical athlete (hockey, running, boot camp and cycling) which means she goes through the (work) week full of energy.
