‘Every time someone asks us to do something new, I can’t help feeling enthusiastic. After we launch the procedure with an ad in one of the best Dutch daily papers, the reactions to the ad and our own personal approaches start coming in. That is when the fun really starts. The main thing is to keep all the potential candidates as well informed as possible about all the aspects of the proposition and after the in-depth personal interviews at my office, to select the most suitable candidates. Then there are the talks so whoever commissioned us can get to know the candidates. That is when everything comes together and I can enjoy the natural match that is created. What I prefer is to be involved in several procedures at the same time. It give me a sense of personal satisfaction when people are all calling and everything falls into place simultaneously. Your day and the week feel like too short to do everything you have to do. And time and time again, it all works out in the end.’
