I was delighted to be joined on the A Better HR Business show by Johan Van Zutphen, CEO of Robin (www.robin.jobs).

Johan Van Zutphen

Robin offers intermediate services between temporary employment agencies and people looking for a job with a living space.

During his Master’s studies in International Business in 2007, Johan established Robin: the first Lithuanian agency that recruits Lithuanian staff for Dutch employment agencies.

14 years later, Robin has built up a database with over 220,000 candidates and recruited over 20,000 candidates from Lithuania, Latvia, Portugal, Poland, Spain, Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary for the Dutch employment market.

In a wide-ranging discussion, Johan and I talked about:

  • How and why did he start Robin? (And the struggles before it became the global business it is today).
  • What does Robin do and who does it help?
  • How Robin attracts new employee and employer clients? Any tips for others?
  • Johan’s excellent approach to the art of management and delegation.
  • Johan’s advice when it comes to growing a successful HR business.
  • What does the future hold for HR and the world of work and what should listeners do about it?
