What my clients say about me

Nadat ik Bas heb horen spreken op de Social Recruiting Days in Berlijn heb ik hem meteen aangeboden te komen spreken op het grootste recruitment event van de UK met meer dan 3.000 bezoekers komend jaar, RecFest. Bas liet grote kennis zien over het onderwerp assessment tooling en verpakte dat in een geweldige lezing die het publiek meenam en aan het lachen kreeg, wat altijd een goed teken is.

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.

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.

Ik heb Bas zien spreken op TA-Live in Amsterdam over de essentiele onderdelen van een corporate recruitment site. Een geweldige presentatie vol met specifieke tips, grafieken, methoden en voorbeelden. Een van de meest leerzame presentaties die ik ooit gezien heb. Later heb ik hem op de Social Recruiting Days in Berlijn zien spreken over moderne assessment mogelijkheden en wederom was het super. Ik zou willen dat er meer sprekers zoals hem waren.
Matej Matolin – Hoofd 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.
