  • You are highly motivated and results-driven in your work.

  • You are an excellent communicator, able to quickly build relationships with people.

  • You have good project management skills and always manage to keep an overview of complex processes.

  • You have a passion for people; understanding their motivations and facilitating opportunities to bring to life a match between good people and good jobs.
