Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings
Curiosity drives Judit to seek for adventures; she loves exploring the unknown. That's what originally led her to make the decision to move to the Netherlands to do her master studies. She has a great passion for people and a greater one for a conversation, so she takes great pleasure in helping expats find jobs here in the Netherlands. As a recruiter, it is important for her to keep her professional relationships with clients and candidates both personal and authentic. In her free time, she enjoys long distance running and bouldering (a form of climbing) in climbing halls.
