Our culture

At De Wervingsfabriek, it is essential to be yourself. We believe when you enjoy your work you will be doing a better job too. That’s why we constantly share our challenges with each other so we can find the best solutions as a team. So whether you can’t seem to fill a client’s vacancy, have difficulties getting a hiring manager to go along, or need inspiration for a nice referral campaign; together, we make sure that we achieve the best results.

The WervingsAcademy

Every month all colleagues of De Wervingsfabriek get together to make sure everyone is and stays up to date with the latest developments in the market. The trainings are given by our own employees or external trainers. Examples of trainings are Successful Recruitment, the STAR Interview Method, Strategic Recruitment, Sourcing 2.0, Employer Branding, and Referral Recruitment.

They provide growth

Roos Dekker

Founder

Loves to exercise, hockey and coaching 3 times a week. Hot-yoga and windsurfing during the summer, preferably in Greece. Forever engaged with Sander & mother of 2! Glass half full kind of person.

Guido Dekker

Founder

If I’m not working I like to enjoy (Broek in) Waterland, going swimming and playing soccer or visiting my beach house on Texel. Father of 2, bakes loaves of bread and proud owner of an electric cargo bike.

Sanne van Es

Head of People

I love to exercise and am busy running, getting my cardio up. Although this isn’t going all that smoothly, I do occasionally join a Mudrun! I’m also quite the soccer mom with two kids.

Marlies Vernhout

Lead Recruiter

When I’m not busy recruiting, I enjoy sailing and I recently took up hockey again in Hilversum. I also enjoy cooking and eating with family and friends.

Wesley Schreuder

Scale-up Recruiter

Within six months I have become addicted to Padel and took up exercising a lot. I can, however, also shamelessly lay on the couch to watch a really bad Netflix series with a bag of chips.

Jules Groot Roessink

Scale-up Recruiter

When not at work, I like to hang out with my friends. Playing pool, card games or some chess – preferably in a bar. I also play soccer twice a week although not always successful.

Manouk Janmaat

Scale-up Recruiter

Together with my boyfriend, I live in Amsterdam, where I like having drinks with friends or going out for dinner. I also like cycling, watch (crime) series and love my ‘dog cousin’ Frenkie.

Thao Bui

Scale-up Recruiter

In 2014, I moved from Vietnam to the Netherlands for my studies. I met my partner Marco here and together we have a 2-year-old daughter called Mia. Before Mia, you could always find me in the pub or at parties, but now you will more often see me in the playground…

Mariette Wijnstra

Scale-up Recruiter

After 7 years in Amsterdam, I have been living in the always sunny Den Bosch for over 2.5 years. There I do ‘vertical gymnastics’ twice a week, aka pole dancing. I use my longboard to get to the office, so it never leaves my side. You will also often find me abroad, for short and long trips!

Lauren Schuit

Scale-up Recruiter

I live in Vinkeveen with my boyfriend & daughter. I like walking, thriller series and drinks. My roots are in Portugal, so once a year I travel with my sister to the beautiful beaches to enjoy a delicious meal!

Sharona Verboom

Scale-up Recruiter

In my spare time you will often find me with the horses. You also make me happy with a drink or a long walk! I find it difficult to stay still & I like to make plans for the future, especially when it comes to traveling.

Lorena Benjamins

Scale-up Recruiter

I live in Bussum with my cat, Ollie, and I love that I can easily bike to the office. When the sun’s out, you’ll often find me relaxing on a terrace, though those evenings sometimes spontaneously end at the pub. That said, I also cherish a cozy night in on the couch. To keep things balanced, I aim to squeeze in two workouts a week.

Karolien Verbeek

Scale-up Recruiter

In my spare time, I can be found on the terrace with friends and family! To compensate, I bootcamp three times a week. Every year, my boyfriend Bart and I go on a faraway trip in search of new cultures.

Fleur Schoutens

People Consultant

After completing my Master’s in HRM, I lived in Paris with my boyfriend, and I still visit there regularly. I absolutely love the beach, sun, terraces with friends, and I also enjoy being creatively engaged by making jewelry.

Lorena Vargas Navarro

People Consultant

On weekends, I enjoy spending long hours in the kitchen preparing a full dinner for my friends. My favorite Saturday is one filled with food, drinks, and games! During the week, I compensate by attempting kickboxing and paddling.

Yaéla van Dinteren

People Consultant

Together with Teun, my French Bulldog, I live in Bussum on the heath. I love a morning walk with a good cup of coffee. Furthermore, I can often be found on the terrace or at festivals with friends.

Sterre Goossens

Talent Sourcer

As a working student, I don’t actually sit still very often. You can find me at uni, in the pool, at the office or somewhere in Amsterdam. I also love to take a break with games, books or a good series.

Romy Gille

Talent Sourcer

I’m an HRM student in the vibrant city of Amsterdam. Twice a week, I lace up my running shoes, and once a week, I let my inner fighter shine during kickboxing. Weekends are for unwinding—you’ll often find me sipping wine on a cozy terrace or dancing the night away at a festival.

Ilyas Adelouni

Talent Sourcer

When I’m not busy studying, you’ll likely find me at the gym or scouting the latest sneaker drops. That said, I’m always up for a good plate of pasta! And yes, I’m from the east of the country, so a bit of down-to-earth attitude comes naturally.

Nick Kuiper

Marketing Manager

When I’m not handling marketing at De Wervingsfabriek, I’m busy helping clients and building a business. Between that and raising two kids, any spare time goes toward catching up with friends, hitting a party, listening to podcasts at the gym, or dreaming of catching waves. Surf session count this year? Still at 0.

Cleo Krijgsman

Talent Sourcer

I’m studying International Development Studies in Utrecht, where I’m also a huge fan of the local club: FC Utrecht. You can also find me on the football field as a striker at Rivierwijkers. Next to football I love reading books, and you can invite me for a game of chess on chess.com!

Monique Geesink

Office Manager

I live with my partner and our two children in Huizen, where I enjoy the great outdoors, cozy drinks with friends, and relaxing evenings on the couch with a good series or movie. I’m also a true hockey enthusiast: I’ve been on the field my whole life and have been contributing to the events committee for the past year and a half.
