Her path crossed with Undutchables right away, and actually (fun fact), before joining our Eindhoven team as a Recruitment Consultant, she also found her previous job thanks to Undutchables. So, as both an expat and someone who found a job through Undutchables, Elçin understands our candidates very well. She truly believes that trusting and working with Undutchables will be one of the best decisions you make for your career in the Netherlands! In her free time, Elçin loves to draw and play computer games; if the weather is nice and she can catch the sun, you might come across her taking long walks around Eindhoven!
