We have shared a lot with you about our company, our events, the Netherlands as a country and their traditions. We feel like it is high time you got acquainted with some of our colleagues. This blog will give you more insight into the life of a recruiter, the challenges they face, their most memorable moments and their guilty pleasures. This week we will introduce our recruiter from Eindhoven, Elçin Arıcı. Enjoy!
When I moved to the Netherlands, I came across Undutchables while looking for opportunities, and thanks to Undutchables, I found my first job here. I’m still very grateful for that. It was a temporary position, and after completing my contract, I got back in touch with Undutchables. As luck would have it, they were looking for a recruiter at that time!
I believe the most enjoyable part of my role is getting to know new people every day and helping them achieve their career aspirations.
I really had to think about this question, but I’d say the biggest challenge is trying to keep candidates motivated after they’ve been rejected. Sometimes candidates can feel truly disappointed by rejection, and I completely understand that.
I can’t pick just one moment, but some of my happiest memories are when I call my candidates to congratulate them on getting the job and hearing their happy reactions.
I believe that transparency is the most important factor in a successful recruitment process. I always make a point of being transparent with both our clients and our candidates.
Dream job? Hahaha. Even though I haven’t been able to draw for a long time, I really love drawing, and I think it would be amazing if that could be my job. Or maybe it could be streaming and playing video games all day from home!
I guess I always create small victories to celebrate, and I celebrate with chocolate!
