I saw Bas speak at TA-Live in Amsterdam about the essential components of a corporate recruitment site. A great presentation full of specific tips, graphs, methods and examples. One of the most educational presentations I have ever seen. Later I saw him speak about modern assessment on another event and again it was great. I wish there were more speakers like him.
