De kracht van Bossche bollen

The Power of the Bossche Bol

We believe that the right match between IT specialists and organizations is essential to successfully tackle complex challenges. But for us, a successful collaboration goes beyond business agreements: we place great value on personal attention and a warm welcome. That’s why we celebrate every start with a special tradition from ‘s-Hertogenbosch: a box of delicious Bossche bollen.

A Warm Start

When one of our IT professionals begins a new assignment, we make sure the start doesn’t go unnoticed. After the first few days, one of our colleagues personally visits with a box of freshly baked Bossche bollen. For us, this is a moment to celebrate that the professional has joined the client’s team, but also to show our personal commitment. At G-Nius, it’s about more than just business; we want our professionals to feel truly welcomed.

The Bossche Bol as a Moment of Connection

This visit is more than just a tasty treat. We take the time to have a conversation with both the professional and the client. We ask how the start has been, whether everything has been arranged as expected, and if there’s anything we can improve. This contact moment is a valuable opportunity to listen and make adjustments as needed. In this way, we ensure both the professional and the client have a positive start.

A Moment to Gather Feedback

Our Bossche bollen visit also gives us a chance to sit down with the client and review their initial experiences with the new professional. This informal moment often leads to open and honest discussions. The feedback we receive not only helps us strengthen the collaboration but also allows us to address any points of attention early on. We believe that transparency and good communication are key to a successful partnership, and the Bossche bol helps us achieve this.

More Than a Treat: A Token of Appreciation

The Bossche bol is a symbol of who we are as a company from ‘s-Hertogenbosch: committed, honest, and always personal. We often hear that this gesture is highly appreciated. It shows that at G-Nius, we invest in relationships and pay attention to details. We’re proud that this tradition has become a hallmark among our professionals and clients, helping us convey the core values of G-Nius.

At G-Nius: Where IT, Business, and Personal Attention Come Together

At G-Nius, we believe that a good beginning is half the work. With our Bossche bollen visit, we want to contribute to a positive start and a lasting collaboration. It’s a small gesture with a big impact, a way to show our personal involvement.

After reading this article, are you also in the mood for Bossche bollen? Let’s get acquainted and explore the possibilities for collaboration.

Welcome Meinske Seuren

Last week, in addition to our new recruitment consultant Ellen, Meinske Seuren also joined us. As part of her Business Administration studies, Meinske will be working with us for 6 months as a Business Improver. She would like to introduce herself:

“Hi, I’m Meinske Seuren, 19 years old and currently a third-year Business Administration student at Avans University of Applied Sciences in ’s-Hertogenbosch. I live in Tilburg, where you can often find me in the city with friends.

From September to February, I’ll be working at G-Nius to develop my skills as a Business Improver. G-Nius caught my attention during the Career Event at Avans. The positive first impression, with the friendly atmosphere, mutual interest, and enthusiasm, really appealed to me.

I will be working on optimizing the recruitment process using Artificial Intelligence. Through this, I hope to broaden my knowledge, support G-Nius, discover my interests, and, above all, gain a valuable experience.”

Would you like to know more about Meinske’s work or her internship project? You can always send her an email at office@g-nius.nl.

Welcome Ellen Witteveen

This month, we are welcoming not one, but two new colleagues. First, we’d like to introduce you to our new recruitment consultant, Ellen Witteveen. With her experience as a recruiter and in business services, she is a great addition to our team.

As a mother of two young children, maintaining a healthy work-life balance is very important to her. In her free time, she enjoys being active and has a passion for Salsa and Bachata dancing, which she approaches with the same enthusiasm she brings to her work.

What sets Ellen apart is her ability not only to make the right match between candidates and clients, but also her personal approach. She thinks creatively about solutions and tackles every challenge with a positive, “glass half full” mentality. For Ellen, it’s about more than just pairing CVs with job openings; she focuses on building long-term relationships and fostering trust.

“The warm culture of the company was the deciding factor for me in choosing this role. The flat organizational structure, personal attention, and strategic location in ’s-Hertogenbosch immediately appealed to me. After my first conversation with Leo and the team, I knew this was the right place for me — an environment where hard work goes hand in hand with a positive atmosphere and room for a laugh.”

Want to know how Ellen can help you find the right professionals or a challenging role? She invites you for a (digital) meeting. Interested? Call or send a message to +31 6 27 25 12 52.

Rogier Meinster

Get to know our professional: Rogier Meinster

Three years ago, Rogier started working at SK FireSafety Group through G-Nius, and he is still thriving there. In this interview, we delve deeper into his daily responsibilities as a project manager and his collaboration with G-Nius. He views G-Nius not only as a client but also as a sparring partner. Read on to discover how he successfully works remotely and why he would recommend G-Nius (but selectively).

You are a project manager at SK FireSafety Group, what are your responsibilities?

I am responsible for all operational tasks within the IT department that are necessary to guide projects from start to finish. This includes IT projects for all companies under the group. Sometimes, it involves upgrading applications for a small regional company, while other times, I am working on large-scale tasks for the entire organization, such as procuring telephony services. My role is to operationally manage these projects, ensuring everyone does their part and that the project’s end goals are met.

How did you end up at G-Nius?

Three years ago, G-Nius approached me with a great opportunity. We had a conversation, and that’s how I was introduced to SK FireSafety Group. I am still very happy with my position there; the collaboration is excellent!

What has G-Nius accomplished for you?

G-Nius facilitated my entry with the client and the associated project. Additionally, Sjoerd and I regularly discuss market developments, ongoing issues, and our perspectives on various matters. Therefore, G-Nius also serves as a sparring partner for assessing our current position and future actions.

Sjoerd also consistently checks in to see how the project is going, whether everything is running smoothly, and if there are any issues where G-Nius needs to intervene or assist. Fortunately, that hasn’t been necessary so far.

What is the best company event or team outing of G-Nius that you have attended?

I haven’t (yet) attended any G-Nius events because they are too far away for me.

You work for a company in Breda but live in Enschede. How do you manage that?

I work from home and rarely go to the office. Remote work suits me perfectly. Last week, one of the division directors within the organization even complimented me on it, saying, “You have stayed in the post-COVID period where everything was done via Teams, and you’re very good at it.”

I don’t need to see someone in person to do my job. I schedule appointments, and if that’s via Teams, that’s how we communicate. We can also chat about other things, like football, via Teams.

How does G-Nius differentiate itself?

As a freelancer, you often get approached by various agencies that want to push your CV to multiple companies without really knowing you. G-Nius does the opposite; they first have a conversation with the professional to understand the person. Based on that, they make a match with a client. That’s the biggest difference with G-Nius. They really look at the assignment and the person, adding value that clients seek when looking for good staff through an agency.

Professionals can trust that G-Nius will find the assignments they desire.

Would you recommend G-Nius?

I would definitely recommend G-Nius. However, being part of the G-Nius family, I’d be cautious about who I bring into that family, in a positive way. I see the work of other freelancers around me, and I’m not always sure if their quality aligns with what G-Nius stands for, so I am careful. But if I come across a good candidate, I would certainly introduce them to G-Nius immediately.

Start Recruiter University

How do we implement upskilling at G-Nius?

At G-Nius, we highly value the development of our employees. Therefore, we strongly focus on upskilling, supporting our people in continuously improving and expanding their skills. In this article, we explain how we apply upskilling within our organization. From monthly progress meetings to attending courses and knowledge sessions, we offer various opportunities for personal and professional growth.

What is upskilling?

Previously, we wrote a blog post about upskilling. Upskilling is the process by which employees acquire new skills or improve existing ones to enhance their competencies and employability. This is essential in a rapidly changing job market where technological innovations and evolving business strategies constantly impose new demands on workers.

Progress meetings as a basis for development

At G-Nius, we place great importance on the development of our employees. Monthly progress meetings with each employee help determine their current status and well-being. In these meetings, we always ask: “How can we support you?” This ensures that we can continually respond to the needs and ambitions of our staff.

There is space and freedom to broaden and enrich knowledge through webinars or by attending knowledge sessions, trade fairs, and events. We believe that continuous education is essential for professional growth, so we strive to offer various learning and development opportunities.

Collaboration and feedback for team improvement

Additionally, colleagues always work together to help each other when needed. A few years ago, we introduced the 361° feedback form. Every six months, all colleagues provide feedback to themselves and each other, highlighting areas for improvement. We have found that this approach provides new insights and strengthens team cohesion. This way, we can also help each other achieve goals by understanding what the learning points are.

Training and courses

In addition to the above points, we also offer training and courses. For example, last year, our recruiters took a course through Recruiters University to enhance their existing recruitment skills. This helped them perform better and work more efficiently.

Currently, we are looking into a suitable training or course for our marketing team, as they have expressed a desire to gain more knowledge about recruitment marketing. Before joining G-Nius, both of our marketers worked in retail marketing. While some marketing principles are universally applicable, many skills are specific to our industry. Therefore, we want to give them the opportunity to expand their skills with new marketing expertise relevant to recruitment.

Upskilling for professionals

The IT world is a dynamic environment where technical developments can follow each other rapidly. It is important for our professionals to have up-to-date knowledge. We, as an employer, encourage and facilitate the pursuit of education and courses to acquire this knowledge. This enables us to better meet the needs of our clients and support professionals in their personal and professional development.

Investing in growth and development

At G-Nius, we see upskilling not as a one-time investment but as an ongoing process that contributes to the growth and success of both our employees and our organization. Therefore, we continuously invest in the development of our people so that they can keep growing and excelling in their field.

Would you like to know more about how we implement upskilling or are you interested in working at G-Nius? Feel free to contact us! We are also always open to tips on how we can further improve upskilling within G-Nius.
