Business Growth Advice From Johan Van Zutphen – CEO of Robin

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?

In addition to jobs in Pakistan, Jobs360 also provides jobs to clients abroad in Dubai and Saudi Arabia.
