Meet the Office Assistant - Eliska Prusova

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 an Undutchables team member, the challenges they face, their most memorable moments and their guilty pleasures. This week we will introduce our office assistant in The Hague, Eliška Průšová. Enjoy!

1. How did you end up at Undutchables?

After I moved to the Netherlands I started applying for a lot of different vacancies within HR, since that was my background back in the Czech Republic, and ended up applying for an Office Assistant (OA) role. Little did I know it was an internal role within Undutchables.. and here I am.😊

2. What are the most enjoyable aspects of your role?

I enjoy interviewing people from all around the world and listening to their life stories, and the different motivations and ambitions that they have. It’s also great to have a contract meeting with candidates that are super happy about getting a new job via us!

The least enjoyable part is probably realizing that we cannot always help everyone.

3. What is the biggest challenge of the job?

Probably multitasking, and as an OA always staying up to date and adjusting to all the unexpected situations and changes happening.

4. What has been your most memorable moment in the job?

I don’t think I can pick one, but meeting a happy candidate who just got their dream job thanks to us is always nice!

5. What do you think is key for a successful recruiting process?

Direct and honest communication and empathy.

6. If you were to have a job outside an office environment, what would be your dream job?

I would love to be paid for travelling and tasting food everywhere across the world!

7. What's your guilty pleasure?

Cringy Czech reality shows 😉
