The challenges for Bravoure

A few years ago, the recruitment world was less hectic. Companies such as Bravoure posted vacancies on their own platforms and received plenty of responses. At the time, using recruiters felt unnecessary. But when Bravoure began focusing on attracting senior talent, the value of partners such as DIQQ became apparent.

As times changed, the labour market for development roles became increasingly competitive. “We noticed that we could not always fill our vacancies through our own channels. Fortunately, we still have people who come to us directly, but by now it has become 50/50. In addition, candidates often have several interviews running at once, so things can still go wrong even in the negotiation phase.”

The added value of DIQQ

“My contact with Frank Oudshoorn is very pleasant and quick. From the start, a lot of time was invested in building a good working relationship. In the beginning we were still finding our way a little and it was not always the right match. But because you have a long-term partnership, you get to know each other’s wishes and needs better.

When I am not satisfied with the profiles shared, I say so straight away and they really listen. There is always room for both positive and negative evaluation. It is really about quality, and I want the feedback to be discussed properly. I like having a recruitment agency as a sparring partner, so that we arrive at better profiles and hires.

When I compare DIQQ with other agencies, what I particularly like is that they are not too pushy. Other agencies sometimes call or email too often. I don’t work with many recruitment agencies, but I notice that DIQQ delivers quality quickly.”

Kim Krauwel on the collaboration

“The collaboration is professional, informal and proactive. I find Frank a very pleasant person to deal with. He knows how to combine a businesslike manner with a relaxed attitude. Thanks to his long-term involvement, he has a good understanding of who we are. In general he knows a lot, knows the people and projects and can anticipate them well. I am happy to have Frank as a regular contact person who knows both me and Bravoure well. In the end, that is what matters most.”

Together they have now realised more than 34 successful placements. Over time, the relationship between Bravoure and DIQQ has developed into a close sparring-partner relationship in which openness and honesty are central.
