Building a global team
"When we built up our global team in Amsterdam we asked Hagoort & Partners for their support to find candidates for different roles with relevant track records for our company. They successfully searched, engaged and selected the people that we needed. Based on their professional and proven work methods we hired candidates for several positions on executive level, director and managerial level and senior specialists."

Swift MD appointment
"Hagoort & Partners supported me personally in the search for a Managing Director for our new Dutch sales company. A deep and excellent knowledge of the job market and a very good understanding of our corporate culture, our values and the people in our organization led to a very good selection of suitable candidates for the vacant position in the shortest possible time. The personal support and advice, even in peripheral areas, was outstanding throughout the entire duration of the project. With significant support from Hagoort & Partners, we were able to fill the position of Managing Director in the shortest possible time."

Access to varied expertise
"Within our organization we have businesses in several countries in EMEA. Through Kestria we were able to find candidates also outside the territory from which we manage the day to day operation, simply by connecting the network between Hagoort & Partners and Kestria abroad. The approach not only delivered strong candidates and so the luxury of making choices from a high quality shortlist, but we were also very pleased with the professional approach of the searches with respect to planning, communication and feedback."
