Hi đź‘‹, I’m Ben

I bring 12 years of experience in Recruitment and HR, primarily focused on supporting startups and scaleups in Amsterdam.

What sets me apart is my unique dual expertise as a seasoned Recruiter and an experienced Head of People for startups and scaleups. I view Talent Acquisition through an HR lens, prioritizing how each hire will enhance culture, boost engagement, and contribute to long-term retention, maximizing employee lifetime value. I also consider their alignment with both core values and the company’s mission to ensure they’ll drive meaningful impact. Essentially, I go beyond simply filling roles—I help you build sustainable, high-performing teams that thrive and endure. Oh, and I can serve as a fractional interim partner to keep costs manageable without adding to your FTE headcount.
