Testimonials
, Manager Fundraising
“We have worked together with David on many recruitment processes now and can testify to his outstanding partnership. He not only throughly acquaints himself with the candidiates, but he is also extensively knowledgable regarding the organization. Because of this, he is able to decide which candidate best fits the organization and the job profile. In addition, he frees us up so we can focus on other responsibilities. On top of everything, he is really a pleasure to work with!”
, Owner ESPBC
"David assisted us in recruiting a General Manager for our steel company in Ethiopia. He is involved in the process, but remains objective, leaving the final decision up to us. I appreciated that balance. David has relevant knowledge and his contributions during the interviews with the applicants were of added value. He manages the process well and ensures an efficient completion. He is very thorough in keeping you informed of everything that is going on regarding the recruitment process. We were one of the first companies that approached him in the context of business as mission. I would certainly recommend him for these types of recruitment processes."
, International HR Advisor
"We have partnered with David for our international office and expat vacancies in Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. David is responsible for the entire recruitment process from composing the vacancy text, planning and channel selection all the way through to interviewing selected candidates. David has a comprehensive and planned approach which means he knows how to find the right match between candidates and the organization. What makes him stand out is his extensive knowledge of the INGO labor market, recruitment trends and international HR policy. We can therefore wholeheartedly recommend David for your national and international vacancies."
, HR Stafmedewerker
"For a few expert vacancies that were difficult to fill, we called on David's support. In a very short time, he constructed a good picture of our organization and the candidates we were looking for. He went to work in his networks. And with success. By hiring him he took a weight off of our shoulders."
, Manager Fundraising
"We have gotten to know Karelse Recruitment as an engaging partner to work with. David Karelse doesn't just start working. First, he spends time really getting to know the organization itself which gives him a well-defined perception of the best person for the organization. By doing this, he is better able to find the right candidates. A big plus is that David knows a lot about non-profit organizations. Furthermore, it is terrific that David manages all the details of the recruitment process."
