After having worked for ten years for a company doing clinical research laboratory, I worked for ProjectKwadraat for a year. A completely new role for me: I worked in a contractor / secondment construction. ProjectKwadraat seconded me to a client of them who then put me on a project with a major international pharmaceutical company. Despite the fact that there were two layers between the final customer and ProjectKwadraat, I always felt very connected to ProjectKwadraat: they are certainly not a “people-shifter” but are genuinely involved with their employees. This is reflected in excellent personal but professional coaching.
Although it turned out that the contractor role did not suit me well, I always enjoyed working for them. ProjectKwadraat is an honest and open club of people to work for / with.
I experienced the cooperation with ProjectKwadraat as very positive. What is noticeable is that the lines are short and questions are answered quickly. ProjectKwadraat is open and honest. For example, in the beginning I was only promised that contact would be made if there is a possibility. It was quiet for a few weeks, but then suddenly there was the job that suited me. No empty promises have been made. ProjectKwadraat gave me the opportunity to take a new step in my career. ProjectKwadraat (in my experience) is an added value in bringing together supply and demand. I think that is certainly in this time where the supply is less than the demand an added value. I would absolutely recommend them.
From 2nd of January 2017 to mid-September 2018 I was seconded via ProjectKwadraat as Quality Engineer at Sanquin Plasma Product in Amsterdam. Throughout the project I have experienced Arjan and his colleagues at ProjectKwadraat as a very pleasant and social employer with friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable employees. I can therefore recommend it to anyone to work for and with ProjectKwadraat without any hesitation.
From the first interview with ProjectKwadraat, it was so obvious that I was connected with a highly professional company. Questions during the interview were so specific which made sure that the all the aspects of client and candidate were fulfilled. And starting as an expat via ProjectKwadraat was reducing the stress level of moving to another country. After arriving in The Netherlands, most of the issues (like open a bank account, set up health insurance and support in housing) were solved in the first day which helped to focus more on the project. All the consultants of ProjectKwadraat were so helpful and open to any question which made it easy to get familiar to Dutch system. Therefore, I would highly recommend ProjectKwadraat, especially if you are looking for a project where you can work as an expat.
My first experience with ProjectKwadraat has been with Arjan. The interview had a interpersonal approach, what made it open and safe. The way of counseling and coorperation makes you want to express the same values to others. This helps me during projects where I’m matched based on my personal profile. The consultants of ProjectKwadraat are always available when you have questions, no matter the topic. This makes that there are no stressfull forecasts during projects. Overall, a nice employer to work with.
In my current and past role I have been working with ProjectKwadraat and experienced this as very pleasant. Keywords to describe the way of work; Personal and sharp. Sharp because they provide me of good resumes on short notice in combination with follow up’s to explain or add perspectives on the resumé. The added value of ProjectKwadraat is the combination of speed and succesrate. Even when they can’t deliver, they let you know. Overall, what you see is what you get and for this, I recommend them to everyone.
From the first moment we spoke, ProjectKwadraat was eager to help me and find me a job here in the Netherlands. Their way of working is very professional, and I couldn’t ask for more! Even when I ‘moved’ towards the client they kept supporting me when I asked for help, the door is open 24/7. Working for ProjectKwadraat makes you feel like #1. The only priority is you. This way of maintaining a personal approach makes me recommending them to everybody who needs a job in a technical sector.
Personal and pleasant are the words that come to mind thinking about my experience with ProjectKwadraat. They provided me with solid ground what made it possible to focus at work. Frequent meetings made a trustworthy feeling about my project and future. Due to the open en personal character of ProjectKwadraat we were able to set realistic goals. After time I achieved all my goals, what made me proud. ProjectKwadraat invests into their employees and helps you realising the next step in your carreer. My current job has been achieved due tot the support of ProjectKwadraat so therefor I will recommend them to everyone.
Working with ProjectKwadraat was the best decision I made in my professional life so far. They helped me select a job that suited my profile, and later eased the transition from my home country into the Netherlands, with support on all levels during the first few weeks. ProjectKwadraat is focused on matching their client’s needs with their employees individual skills and ambitions. The result, in my case, was a very motivating job for me, and the fact that the end client decided to hire me directly shortly after indicates it was also profitable for the company.
I think this is the win win solution that every company looks for when hiring a skilled employee. The fact that they invested so much in getting to know me and my aspirations before he proposed my services to any client built trust and a good relation between us. It also helped that ProjectKwadraat kept 100% of the promises which are made to me! Added value resides in the very deep knowledge of the persons that they work with, and also how they connect that knowledge with the needs of their clients.I would definitely recommend working with ProjectKwadraat.
When I shifted to Damen, I told them that i was losing an employer but gained a friend. That remains true to this day.
I started my contact with ProjectKwadraat via a recommendation of a friend. He had initiated this collaboration recently. In the beginning it was a challenge with reserves, from my side. In the country where I was working, these companies are not as common as in The Netherlands. So for me, it was the first time that I would not be employed directly to the company where I would work daily. I think, ProjectKwadraat establishes a very transparent relationship and we fill reassured by the support for the direct work matters but also, and most important in my case, for the adaptation to the Dutch system and work mentality. I felt supported in the company as well as in the country. I believe, the company relies its character on the personal characteristics of its members and the integrity and seriousness play a role in the confidence that is achieved. I certainly recommened ProjecKwadraat to other persons looking for a new job opportunity, especially if it’s the case of an expat.
ProjectKwadraat initially contacted me via Linkedin while I was presenting at a conference in England. Over a short period of time they set up both Skype and on-site work interviews in the Netherlands and eventually helped me realize my desired career direction. In my case, ProjectKwadraat was cordial yet frank and precise in their discussions. This approach helped everyone to be practical and upfront in ensuring that the partnership worked efficiently. I have had a very positive experience working with ProjectKwadraat so far. From the start they were both personal and professional in their approach, allowing us to have a productive and engaging relationship. One of the hallmarks of ProjectKwadraat is that they believe in taking a personal approach. As an example – taking care of all issues and procedures beforehand or in a simultaneous manner such that the individual is allowed to devote his attention directly to his job, rather than lose time in getting set up, especially in the first few weeks or months; and then continuing to track his or her progress. My advice would be simple – keep up the good work and stay with the personal approach. As you grow, challenges will abound but it takes special skills to deal thoughtfully with people and that sets you apart.
ProjectKwadraat has delved themselves into our primary processes, culture and long-term objectives. Our organisation is a typical middle sized organisation with 50-75 employees. As for a lot of matters in a middle sized company, “It is neither here not there”. On that matter ProjectKwadraat has been a successful extension of our HR department. One of the most important elements for a successful cooperation was the open and honest way of communication. Due to transparency from both sides and (critical positive) feedback we were able to improve our recruitment, evaluation and development on short notice. If sustainability for your human resources is a policy, I would highly recommend ProjectKwadraat as your partner to talk to.
Over the last 3 years I have worked for ProjectKwadraat at several pharmaceutical projects. The way of treating employees is always correct, and appointments were always compliant. ProjectKwadraat is one of a few agents where they treat you as a human being in stead of a product. Therefor I would highly recommend them to others.

Cooperation with ProjectKwadraat is set far beyond business standards. Even after a short period of knowing each other you feel connection, professionalism, experience, partnership. This level of service is starting way before your final decision. There is room for discussion, they answer questions, give suggestions and even help you find a dream place to live. And it is continuing during your contract (tax calculation / motivation / skills development). Honestly – without ProjectKwadraat I would never have settled in the Netherlands. We had many conversations before our final decision… and what I can say – they were right! It is exactly what they said. All aspects presented by ProjectKwadraat met real life, all calculations, suggestions, hints. It really is a huge added value to cooperate with such a company. You can be more focused within your new profession/position when you have such company, support. The stress of moving has been mitigated to a very low level. Great job!
The approach of ProjectKwadraat is easy to adapt. Thanks to the presentation of exciting projects and coaching, they are able to make to best out of yourself.
Working with ProjectKwadraat is to my personal experience, professional and pleasurable. Agreements are fulfilled, what makes me feel appreciated. I experience contact as positive, we meet on a frequent basis to talk about developments on the project, challenges and how to coop with them. Since 3 years I am working with ProjectKwadraat and never I have been without a project. They arranged 5 interviews, and after all 5 I was allowed to join. This makes a 100% succes rate, I don’t see that a lot.I believe that is the result of really taking care and listening to your employee and clients.
When you are looking for a new job in one of the markets of ProjectKwadraat, I would recommend everybody to have a chat at the office at least. They are pleasant to work with, sympathic, and that combination is something I wish for everybody.
My experience with ProjectKwadraat is positief. During meetings there is a balanced dialoge, what makes me feel heard and appreciated. This stresses the approach, which is very personal. I really believe that they try to find the human behind the resume and use this as a base to find a the right match between candidate and client. Besides a pleasant sparring partner ProjectKwadraat for sure has an added value compared to others. To me this has been the hunt for a potential employer, not only in technical terms, but with a strong focus on personal/cultural terms as well. They focus on growth where they make use of your strongest points, and make those pay. The personal approach, combined with a big network makes the difference between a ‘possible yes’ and a ‘100% yes’. Overall, I would recommend ProjectKwadraat for sure to work with, and work for.
I experience coorperation with ProjectKwadraat as very positive. They are available when needed, always open for questions and help you with tailored advice. These points give me a professional impression and makes them trustworthy. Because of the ‘mediation’ services between client and employee it creates an open and pleasent work setting. ProjectKwadraat found me a great place to work and during the coaching sessions I was able to grow as a person. Overall, a concerned employer wich I highly recommend to others. Keep up the good work.
Cooperating with ProjectKwadraat has been a great pleasure. Professional coaching, with frequent meetings made that potential minors didn’t move on. The added value is that they make use of assessments to get to know the person behind the employee and how to match that with future employers. With those assessments it’s easy to learn about you and your work attitude. Because it makes you self-conscious I was able to makes steps in my development. Due to all these positive experiences I recommend ProjectKwadraat to future employees.
