Imagine walking into a room, sitting down, and within ten minutes you already have a connection with an employer. That is exactly what happened at the Flexiforum in Kerkrade.
The municipality and the Ontwikkelcentrum brought job seekers and regional companies together for an afternoon of speed dating. No boring job applications, just short and informal chats where you can simply be yourself.
What makes it so special?
- Employers show what they truly have to offer, like Boston Scientific explaining that logistics is so much more than moving boxes
- Coaches like Asiya Duran know the candidates personally and can quickly make the right match
- Often one or two candidates come out of an afternoon ready to start right away
Besides the speed dates, there is so much more support available: info sessions, company tours, workshops, and even vitality classes. Everything to make that step toward work as small as possible.
What most people do not realize is that coach Asiya Duran meets these candidates every Wednesday at the Flexiforum, building personal relationships and understanding their backgrounds before the speed date even begins. This trust allows her to instantly match employer needs with candidate potential during the event, something a regular job website simply cannot replicate.
