**'An organisation is the sum of its people. Together they ensure growth and progress'**
People form an organisation and it is therefore important that the right people are in the right place. It keeps a company strong and makes it future proof.
In the search for the right people, Lodiers & Partners has an active role in the search for management and executive positions. Balanced and personalised support creates lasting relationships with clients and candidates.
CO2-neutral construction, sustainability in material use and the energy transition are creating new opportunities and challenges. It is clear that sustainability and the environment are having an increasing impact on the industry now and in the future.
Oil and chemicals are indispensable in our society today. Raw materials and semi-finished products are processed into end products that we deal with continuously in everyday life.
The FMCG sector is a dynamic industry with a great attraction for people. It is a market with a variety of products that we use every day and high visibility for consumers.
Machine and equipment construction makes a very important contribution to the Dutch economy. The sector focuses primarily on the B2B market, enabling other organisations to manufacture and sell their products. Whether this is a sorting plant at a waste processing company, a packaging line for a fruit grower or a lithography machine for the chip industry.
Energy and Recycling plays a leading role in the energy transition and circularity. We are constantly looking for new ways to reuse existing materials and are investing heavily in alternative forms of energy such as the use of hydrogen and the electrification of our mobility network.
The Netherlands has traditionally occupied an important position globally in the field of trade and logistics. International business is in our genes and our political and diplomatic network makes us a reliable partner. With still one of the largest and most modern ports in Europe, a good infrastructure and technically high-quality service providers, we are an attractive trade partner for organisations and countries.
Interactive tools, personalisation, sustainability: these are just a few trends in the packaging industry. Innovation and the development of new concepts are the order of the day.
Innovation, new (consumer) trends and sustainability play an important role in the food sector. The sector is relatively independent of economic developments, but the mutual competition is enormous. The overall sector contributes 10% to the economy and employment, making it a large and attractive employer.
Lodiers & Partners successfully placed a young high potential in our company on a not typical vacancy. Besides this, Robert was and is for me a valuable network contact and provided me with a lot of useful recruitment/HR information and tips about the Netherlands when I got back after seven years abroad.
'What I experienced as very pleasant is that during the first interview, the dates are immediately set for the interviews with the candidates. As a result, the turnaround time of the search is very clear. Also, at every step (the funnelling) in the search process, you are well informed and there is constant mirroring of whether we have the same candidate profile in mind.'

'Lodiers & Partners has been supporting PreZero Netherlands in recruiting for various positions for several years. Within various parts of the company, Robert and his team managed to find suitable candidates for us. These were not the easiest positions to fill, and without the help of Lodiers & Partners, this would not have been possible. What I find pleasant and professional is the extensive attention for the intake and introduction to the organisation. This forces the organisation to think carefully about all aspects of the profile and provides a clear picture for candidates. Robert is well able to sense if there is a match between the candidate and the organisation. Transparent communication from Lodiers & Partners about progress, introducing candidates and about the final placement is always flawless. As a client, you know exactly what to expect and that makes the collaboration pleasant and reliable.'

'In our search for the familiar needle in the haystack, Lodiers and Partners helped us. First, by asking us a lot of questions and being critical of what we indicated. That conversation alone was enlightening and strengthened support, because this vacancy was not that easy. The effect was that a number of resumes were presented in person within the agreed time. Through weighing and pondering, a clear picture emerged. Lodiers and Partners was also flexible in scheduling appointments and was able to move quickly when vacation periods arrived. As a result, we were able to meet the desired start date. The so-called "expectation management" toward both the candidate and the management was handled well. We are very pleased, a great start to a lasting partnership!'

'Lodiers & Partners has recently contributed to the achievement of our business strategy by finding and nominating excellent candidates for a number of critical management positions. A difficult task: as a mainly internationally operating family business, our name recognition in the Netherlands is limited, but we do need highly qualified talent here. Lodiers & Partners has proven to be able to find the right candidates who fit our corporate culture and, at the same time, have the competencies and qualities to make a substantial contribution to the future success of our organisation. Working with Lodiers & Partners is efficient and pragmatic, with plenty of room for dialogue and consultation to arrive at the right choice

"I see a parallel in the way of working. For example, Robert Lodiers always looks beyond. He wants to know where we want to go as an organisation and what the composition of the team is like."
