With a diverse team, you’re ensuring a variety of opinions and perspectives can be shared. This can improve problem-solving, creativity, and innovation. And, more than that, it can help build successful, long-lasting relationships between the team and with customers.

Building a community is fun, giving back even more.

I have 9+ years experience across the full recruitment lifecycle.

I was previously a Principal consultant of a (Global) leading IT recruitment Agency. I’m used to working in a fast-paced and rapidly changing international environment, where a high number of processes and deadlines need simultaneous attention.

My experience in different markets and types of organizations allow me to anticipate on changes quickly.

I have a proven track record in both permanent and contract staffing solutions and I am therefore able to stand up as a partner with valuable advice.

I started Brand New Start to support the operational growing plans of Platform/Product Technology companies. To give Candidates the best support at every stage. And to add courage, conviction, and confidence to their skillset.

My goal is to become an all round recruitment specialist. ‘Allround’ & ‘Specialism’ may sound contradictory, but believe me, I’m getting close.

I truly believe that, by combining a client-driven approach with a thorough understanding of the IT market and a drive to deliver, Brand New Start is your ideal partner for your hiring needs.

He has a good focus on quality, not only on delivering the right CV’s but also in preparing the candidate for the job interview.
