Building a career at Sterksen

The process from A to Z

"With the service IT Search (ITS) we work with (international) clients on the basis of recruitment and selection. We advise and support around recruitment issues in the full breadth of IT. I am currently active in both IT Search and Executive Search. With this we search, approach and select the best talent for key positions, such as a CEO or CIO.

What I enjoy most about this position is being involved from A to Z. From recruiting clients and picking up vacancies, to selecting suitable candidates and filling the vacancy, with everything in between. All facets of recruitment are covered. In this role you will also visit clients a lot, because being physically present is different from doing everything online.

When you join this Business Unit, you will receive the same onboarding that every new employee at Sterksen receives, to get to know the organization well. If you step into a junior role, your focus is on recruiting candidates. As a senior recruiter, you go right through the entire process to placement."

Growth within the organization

"A lot has changed in recent years. Think of the market and customers, the growth we have experienced and new colleagues. There have also been changes in our services. In the beginning this was limited to recruitment & selection, but now all forms of recruitment have been added. Currently we offer six services to our clients and work with three contract forms for professionals.

A nice development of this is that, regardless of the recruitment demand of the client, we can offer everything. Think of mediating interim professionals, filling internal projects at clients and deta-permanent constructions. We work with all kinds of clients and receive many requests from clients with whom we have worked before. Investing in relationship management is therefore essential, because you get a lot in return."

Creating career opportunities

"In this market, it is important to focus on quality in recruitment. It's not about quick wins, but building relationships, both with clients and candidates. We want to grow even further, of course, so the commercial part also requires attention because of the changing labor market. So you have to have that drive.

You will find yourself in a commercially driven team, with tremendously fine cooperation. We grant each other success and work together on a customer demand - something you don't see much in this industry. The teamwork, the diversity of services and the many possibilities make Sterksen's strength.

In 2022, we became part of HeadFirst Group. This gave us a large organization behind us. With joint clients, we can work better together and strengthen each other. This in turn creates additional opportunities for the future. For example, if HeadFirst gets a need for permanent recruitment, Sterksen can also contribute to that. There are still many opportunities to explore in that."
