Special Business Start
happy people to work with.
At the age of 26 I was asked to apply for the role of sr. HRM advisor. I was able to contribute to Strategic, Tactical & Operational HRM at the Directorate-General of Migration (Ministry of Justice and Security in the Netherlands).
I advised the Director General, Directors and Heads of multiple Departments (> 15 in total) for more than 2 years in a very hectic period. An unforgettable time, where we achieved a lot together.
Following my Gut Feeling
During the completion of my Master’s degree in Strategic HRM (Cum Laude) I was offered a PhD position at a Faculty of Management Sciences and Public Administration.
After 3 months I decided to go for practical work experience and I was asked to apply at the Ministry. An opportunity that would never have existed if I had not decided to pursue the PhD position.
During my student days I worked 2 to 3 days a week at an amazing student employment agency. Here I was given many opportunities to grow and work with responsibility. I worked in roles supporting managers and as a recruiter. One special event made me grow most: running a branch of the company during a (busy) holiday period.
I am still very grateful for the opportunities I was given every time, even in times of crisis.
Curious about the article that was published based on Esther’s master thesis (awarded) at the municipality of Rotterdam, for which Esther conducted HR research into the relationship between people management, behavior and performance? Read the publication here.
