Groenewegenwijsman

GroenewegenWijsman is an executive search company that helps organisations search for and find the best people for senior roles. It carries out complete search and selection assignments for directie and management functies at bachelors and masters level, and places vakspecialisten as well when a client asks for them. Beyond filling vacancies, GroenewegenWijsman delivers Market Mapping projects that open up a new candidate target group, and it offers personal coaching aimed at supporting and stimulating people in their working and private lives. Selma, who leads the company, works directly with both clients and candidates.

The specialisation is the Fysieke Leefomgeving, and the candidates placed have experience in client facing roles covering ruimtelijke ordening, water, bodem and civiele bouwwerken. Many of these professionals come from a technical background. Because such candidates are scarce and take a very critical view of moving to a new position, recruitment happens through a discreet personal approach rather than advertising, and selection runs through extensive competency based interviews. For specific client needs a maatwerk solution is worked out.

GroenewegenWijsman supports Dutch organisations whether they run the whole recruitment process in house or already have a strong HR and recruitment department managing their vacancies, on the basis that there are always vacancies to fill. Candidates are met in an open conversation about their background, current situation and ambitions, and the company stays a critical, honest sparring partner while they weigh up a next step. References published on the site come from people in roles at Fluor Corporation and Antea Group among others, and describe a reliable headhunter who keeps candidates informed throughout, never compromises on quality, and balances the interests of the candidate and the client.
