I got in touch with Jesse about an interesting assignment he had open. From the very first moment, his clear communication and consistent follow-up stood out. Agreements are clear, expectations are managed well, and open items are picked up neatly.

What I also really appreciate is that Jesse understands the cybersecurity market and the people who work in it. This allows him to translate a client's wishes sharply into a concrete and realistic assignment. As a professional, this means you go into the conversation with the end client well prepared and without surprises.

Compliments too for the way Jesse supports both the client and the professional throughout the entire process. It makes the collaboration pleasant, transparent, and professional.

A collaboration I can certainly recommend. (Thanks for your effort and thinking along!)

Jesse knows exactly what he's talking about on the professional side. On a personal level he's simply a genuinely great guy who "says what he does and does what he says". None of the pushy nagging you see too often in the recruitment world, and he comes up with the right positions that are relevant and fitting. I started my new job with pleasure, thanks to Jesse, and hope to enjoy working there for many years to come.

SIDN has been working with Gruzzy Recruitment for several months now. In a short time, Jesse Hendriks has demonstrated the added value of Gruzzy Recruitment. Within a short period the cooperation agreement was established ánd a candidate joined us in employment. Jesse is honest, open, proactive, and to the point, which makes him a very pleasant conversation partner. He also listens well, sets clear expectations, and keeps his agreements. The personal attention for both the candidate and the client characterizes Gruzzy Recruitment as an agency, but also Jesse as a person. That makes it easy to let the recruitment & selection process run smoothly and quickly. As far as I'm concerned, a long-term collaboration definitely lies ahead.
