Testimonials
What my clients say about me

Having heard Bas speak at Social Recruiting Days in Berlin, I'm keen to bring him over to the UK to speak at our biggest event of the year, RecFest. Bas is highly informed on the subject of assessment, delivered a fantastic talk and put the audience at ease and had them laughing, which is always a great sign.
Jamie Leonard – Founder & CEO Recruitment Events co.
I had a chance to see Bas's presentation at TA Live about the essentials of a career site. It was an amazing talk full of specific hints, figures, methods, and examples. It was one of the most useful presentations I've attended so far. Later on, I met him and Social Recruiting Days and his talk about modern assessment systems was again top class. I wish there are more speakers like him.
Matej Matolin – Head of HR STRV
Bas gave a superb talk at Social Recruiting Days in Berlin. He has a unique style and method of delivery - challenging, engaging, entertaining and insightful. Would recommend Bas if you want someone to deliver a high value presentation on tech / work / people.

The report and advice Bas provided us with has helped us see our candidate experience trough the eyes of the candidate. Being a big teaching hospital we have a patient first focus in all our communications. Because of the tips Bas gave us we were able to improve our careers website and candidate experience significantly.
