👀 Looking to find top-tier talent early on? That's exactly what Simmons & Simmons did with Bouke Algie. With a unique background in pharmaceutical sciences and law, Bouke's journey started as a student intern. All thanks to Magnet.me, where he matched the role. Fast-forward, and he's now thriving as a Junior Associate at Simmons & Simmons! But it wasn't just his passion for patent law that kept him there - it was the inclusive, international culture that made him stay. Bouke: “Working with colleagues from diverse cultures and fields is truly enriching. It makes every project unique because you not only get to know international colleagues, but you also gain new legal perspectives.” This early connection turned out to be a perfect match for both Bouke and the firm - proving that spotting talent early makes all the difference! 🙌 Curious to know more about Bouke's experience?

Years of experience ≠ quality of experience. It's time we rethink what "experience" really means👇 A junior marketer who built a 10k+ engaged audience on Instagram has already proven their skills, even if they haven’t spent years in an office. So, if you’re struggling to find seniors for a certain position, it might be time to change the game plan… 👀 #magnetme #recruitment #talentacquisition

Here’s a controversial opinion: If it’s been a year searching for that one Senior who ticks all the boxes... It might be time to look at Juniors who can grow into the role instead. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. Think about it: 👉 Juniors are your future leaders  👉 Hiring Juniors signals innovation and attracts top talent 👉 Experience is about way more than just years in the office 👉 Juniors bring in fresh perspectives, new ideas, and adaptability Not convinced?

"Thanks to Magnet.me, I found the perfect start to my career!" Ping! 💥 Another match: Meike van Grimbergen just kicked off her career as an SAP Trainee at iTrainee. And it all started with Magnet.me… Meike: “I was searching for the right opportunity when I noticed how many exciting entry-level roles and traineeships were available on the platform. After a few weeks of browsing and liking different roles, I came across iTrainee. It was exactly what I was looking for: a traineeship close to home and focused on SAP! Shortly after, Ivo reached out, and everything just clicked. A quick connection, a smooth interview, and boom - a contract! I proudly started this amazing traineeship on September 4th." Good luck with this awesome opportunity, Meike 🙌 #recruitment #talentacquisition #employerbranding #hiring #magnetme

We get it. For small companies and startups without a dedicated HR team, outsourcing your recruitment needs can seem like an ideal solution! They take it off your hands and only invoice you once the match is made. But there is a serious risk involved. And it has everything to do with your culture.

“Two weeks later, I had an offer in hand” Yep, that’s what happens when everyone’s invested. 😉 Jeroen Versluis was all set for a career in management consulting, but after a quick connection with Capgemini on Magnet.me, he made the switch to becoming a SAP Consultant instead. He explains👇 "I wanted a place where I could keep growing, tackle big challenges, and work with passionate people making a real impact. Capgemini was one of the few companies where I felt their values were more than just words. So, when a recruiter from Capgemini reached out to me via Magnet.me, I didn’t have to think twice. Two weeks later, I had an offer in hand." We wish you lots of luck and fun, Jeroen! #careerswitch #jobhunt #recruitment #consultant

The best time to start looking for your next A-players? Before you even need them. Whether you call it a talent pool or a bench - having a group of already-interested candidates on hand is the key to a quality hiring process. This will help you to avoid those last-minute, “good enough for now” hires that might not be the perfect fit at all. Don’t settle. Be prepared. 💅 Read more about quality hiring here: https://lnkd.in/eSv2r9Yx #hiring #talent #recruitment #magnetme
