What makes Personnel Search different from other recruitment agencies?
+ -

Personnel Search uses a distinctive working method. We work exclusively for clients and can therefore invest more time and attention in both the technical intake and vacancy text. This makes the actual recruitment many times more efficient. With an online assessment we test the technical skills of candidates to ensure that they have sufficient knowledge to perform the job properly. Plus, to find the best match, we look beyond just technical skills of candidates. What drives someone? What does the person find important in his work (giver)? We are therefore looking for a match on company culture and character. If that fits well, it almost always ensures long-term staff retention.
