Who is Sebastian?
Welcome to my site. My name is Sebastian (or: Bas) and I work as a Senior Corporate Recruiter. I have been working as a recruitment specialist for about 15 years. Both agency and corporate. It is my great passion to fill jobs and to make recruitment teams perform better.
Early 2010 I started my own business as a contract Corporate Recruiter. Since then I have been successfully working on numerous assignments.
Why 2-minute videos?
First of all I just feel a big need to share what I know with the outside world. I can't help it really. I'm an extrovert. And I tend to get many questions from recruiters at almost every client I work for. So in order to share my knowledge with a broader pool of recruiters I think free to watch short videos are the best way to go.
Just pick a subject you like.
You can just pick a subject in which you want to improve yourself on and after watching the video go try it out to see if it works for you. In my videos I talk about my personal experiences. You may want to adjust the tactics a bit and tailor it to your own unique situation because as you know; every company is different and has its own recruitment process and dynamics. Teaming up with your Hiring Manager is my main focus in the first series of videos. I will release videos about many other subjects very soon. If you have questions, suggestions or topics that you want me to cover, let me know!
On a platform you like.
I upload new videos on this website every few days. Please subscribe to my channel on Vimeo or YouTube and follow me on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin) if you want to hear about new videos first. I really appreciate all the likes, shares and comments so please feel free to share your opinion. Give my videos a big thumbs up if you want to encourage me to create more.
Will do Bas! Where is that lovely accent from by the way?
It's Dutch. For all of you wondering where Amsterdam is situated (no offense taken) it is in Europe. Close to England, Germany, Belgium and France. Do come and visit The Netherlands (or: Holland). You'll love it.
Yes we have the Dutch windmills, Rembrandt, Van Gogh and lots of tulips. But some big companies as well. Dutch corporations like for instance Shell oil, Heineken, Philips Electronics, TomTom, Randstad, ING Bank, Ahold (Stop & Shop, Bi-Lo, Giant), Unilever (Axe, Lynx, Dove, Magnum Ice-cream), KLM airlines, Endemol (The Voice tv-show) and many more. So enough challenges for recruiters.
To our success!
