Career Select Nederland

Career Select is a werving en selectiebureau specialised in the corporatiebranche, the Dutch housing association sector, and describes itself as het werving en selectiebureau voor woningcorporaties. It has combined its knowledge and experience of that sector with an innovative working method, which it says lets it make the right match between candidate and opdrachtgever quickly, including for vacancies that are hard to fill. Personality, cognition and ambition are treated as an essential part of the recruitment and selection process rather than as a final check, and the company presents that as what makes its way of working different.

The company is specialised in the corporatiebranche but says it is active in all public sectors where people work with a passion to commit themselves to society. Working for a woningcorporatie, it argues, means working from passion and involvement in the shared goal that housing associations have, namely offering tenants a home, and the social playing field they move in demands particular competences and personal characteristics. The vacancies it publishes show the functional range: Projectmanager Nieuwbouw & Verduurzaming for a housing corporation in the Utrecht region, Procescoördinator Dagelijks Onderhoud and a Senior Dagelijks Onderhoud role in the Rotterdam region and Zuid Holland, and Financieel Controller Vastgoed & Investeringen, all on 36 hour permanent contracts with published salary indications.

Career Select's method rests on the online pre-assessment. Every vacancy has its own assessment built specifically around it, a set of games taking roughly 30 minutes that objectively map a candidate's primary reactions across the areas the client considers important, so both sides learn quickly whether the role and the organisation really fit. The assessments are based on scientific research, are free to the candidate because the cost sits inside the fixed werving en selectie fee charged to the client, and no report is ever sent to an opdrachtgever without the candidate's permission. The company also builds data profiles per role together with people from the sector, places permanent and temporary staff through werving en selectie, and does not mediate interim assignments.
