Design Recruitment…

Currently I am working for Idella, former Piramide groep, in the Netherlands.

They have rebranded their 30 yrs old Fintech company today. Also they have outlayed their development process: Design Thinking.

Being their Recruiter, looking to recruit a lot of .NET Developers in the greater Amsterdam Area, I love to translate the Idella way of working into my way of working to hire the .NET Developers.

And renamed the recruitment process.

They, the Developers empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test, implement….

What should the recruiter be doing:

1. understand with whom they have their coffee – empathize
2. create a skillset to work with, to evaluate them on – define
3. campaign in the right area – ideate
4. find people that are interested – prototype
5. evaluate their hard and soft skills – test
6. offer them the job – implement

Wonderful time at Layar!

>> A brief personal message to all Layar’s finest 🙂

It has been a great time working for you guys, while being able to double the size of the company.
I really will miss you all! <<

As of this week I will morph into the role of recruiter at Dolby Laboratories,

Work Life balance …. Blurring the boundaries

Enjoying your work makes you wonder, what is a work life balance?
While doing cool things at work and being able to work every where you want to…
It makes you think, am I really blurring the boundaries here? Or is it my life, being in recruitment for 24hrs a day? While enjoying life… besides work as much as I do and should be doing…

I once overheard: “If you found your dream job, you will never ever have to work again”

Being Recruiter, is I think something that comes from within…. Isn’t?

Recruiting and Layar

The mobile phone
I got this call a few weeks back: “Gordon we would like to hire some more people, what should we do?”
After the following conversation it turned out, that the best thing this company could do is to put a recruiter in place, with a background in IT, Internet and Mobile, taking care of their hiring needs.

What happened
Since I am still Trainer and Speaker on the subject of Mobile and Internet Recruitment and still going strong with my Mobile Recruiting Project called Shake Your Job.

I did find a way to help out this company, consultancy…. Contracting or Interim you could call it as well.

And as of today, for the next few months, I am back in race of finding the best candidate first!

May I present myself: Gordon Lokenberg Recruiter at Layar +31 6 421 21 451
