"Connecting hearts with opportunities."
Email
Elçin grew up in a relatively small city in Turkey and has always found happiness in connecting the right people with the right positions and touching lives. In 2023, she made a significant decision to move to the Netherlands. 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!

She has over 15 years’ experience in Business Development and is always excited about growing Undutchables clients’ base and building lasting relationships through her international network.
She was an Undutchables candidate before becoming part of the Undutchables Family which gives her the best insight to accompany the talent acquisition of Undutchables’ international clients! She enjoys welcoming family and friends to her adoptive country, particularly at one of her favorite spots along the Scheveningen beach. She keeps being amazed by the beauty of our world in Europe and beyond.
