Meet the Recruiter - Laura Benitez
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, Laura Benitez. Enjoy!
1. How did you end up at Undutchables?
A friend of mine told me about Undutchables, and it stayed in the back of my mind for a while. One day I decided to share my CV, and just five minutes later I got a call! That led me to start the process for an internal vacancy that was just opening - and here I am today.2. What are the most/least enjoyable aspects of your role?
I love helping candidates navigate the Dutch job market and building great relationships with my customers, CRM is one of my favorite parts of the job.
The least enjoyable is when timing doesn’t align meaning that the right person and the right role don’t always meet at the same moment.
3. What is the biggest challenge of the job?
The recruitment industry can be quite sensitive to economic and political changes, which can affect hiring trends and workflow. Staying flexible and adaptable is key. It’s also a role that requires constant balance, nurturing both candidates and clients to build long-term success.
4. What has been your most memorable moment in the job?
Meeting such amazing colleagues and being surrounded by a team that truly supports and inspires you every day!
5. What do you think is key for a successful recruiting process?
Transparency. Being honest, open and communicative with both candidates and clients makes all the difference.
6. If you were to have a job outside an office environment, what would be your dream job?
Being a gemologist, I am actually taking a certified study program soon!
7. What's your guilty pleasure?
Curling up with a blanket and rewatching Friends for the hundredth time, now that winter is coming, I find it the perfect cozy weather ritual.
