About us
Maxwell Capital is the only agency in the Netherlands that specializes in corporate events for recruitment and selection. We do this in a way where the qualities of the candidate are the starting point. Based on an intake of approximately one hour, you indicate where your core activities are located, what your corporate image is, what your company norms and values are and which criteria you believe a candidate must meet. With this information you will receive a tailor-made proposal. As soon as agreement has been reached on the proposal, we will submit your vacancy(s) to our candidates.
You will receive anonymous CVs from the candidates so that you can still make a choice. And then the game begins, from start to finish.
Approach
Our approach is different than you are probably used to. The candidate is central and he or she must fit your corporate culture, norms and values.
Talent scouts
We have a number of talent scouts who continuously monitor the market, companies, schools and universities for young professionals for us. Our presence means we know what is going on with this target group and what concerns them.
Based on your selection criteria, we select a number of suitable candidates whose (anonymous) CVs you can view. We then invite these candidates for a special introduction at a special location in the region.
Open event
Several companies will be present during the event. Your presence is therefore very important, partly because your competitors also want to be visible.
As mentioned, our working method is different. You can get to know our young professionals in a casual environment and atmosphere. We will match you with a number of suitable candidates. This means a completely different setting than you are used to.
Private event
You can also opt for your own event. An event where you are the only company that can meet the candidates you selected.
Especially for you. This means that the event will represent both your company and you as a person. The condition is that it fits within the perception of the candidates we select for you.
It is also important to know that the recruitment objective and the size of the target group will both influence the size of the event. We keep a close eye on whether the size matches the ultimate goal: converting common interests and passions into fruitful collaboration. The appearance will be entertaining and informative.
What would such an event look like? Well. This can vary from a racing masterclass on the Zandvoort circuit to a seminar by an authority in a relevant field. A combination of both is of course also possible. In short: the event will be original and encourage attendees to be themselves, push boundaries and express their passion for their field.
However, the event will not only bring in new employees. It also allows you to present your company in all its facets. And that is useful for later: the people who will not be hired initially may be so in the future. Advantage: they know about your company and your company about them. That will certainly make the start a lot easier.
The costs of the process to be completed can be considered competitive in the market. We see the image and impact this has on the market as our added value.
Curious about how we select our candidates? Logically. Just as logical as we realize that this selection is the most essential element of the service we provide. The selected candidates will, in addition to the required diplomas and experience, not only have the right motivation, but above all a personality that fits within your company. In our opinion, this last aspect in particular is a requirement to achieve a long-term and fruitful employment relationship.
We also regard assessments, personality tests and job profiles as excellent instruments for gaining insight into the character and qualities of an individual. However, we mainly rely on our personal and authentic approach during the selection procedure. Experience and human knowledge do the rest. And that’s a good thing…
Talent
Just having talent is not enough.
There is plenty of talent. But talent alone is not enough. Communication skills, a pragmatic approach and healthy ambition are just as important. People who work together should also fit together well. Not only mutual sympathy is a condition here. Synergy is at least as important. We believe that a challenging and pleasant working atmosphere guarantees excellent results. When selecting, we look beyond talent alone.
Our ideal candidate is not only of high quality within the relevant field, but also has personality. So finding you is definitely not an easy job. But once found, we will handle you with care. Our aim is to tailor the qualities you possess to the demands of the business community and to organize an event that fits within your world of experience. Headhunting at its best…
Application
Applying for a job is a complex process. And we’re not even talking about the time this takes. From finding a suitable vacancy to having a connection with a company that fits your ambition. We will help you. How? By ensuring that you are given the opportunity to get to know a company that suits you in an informal way. Not only will it save you a lot of time, the chance of success is also many times greater. This is because we believe you suit the company and the company suits you. So no-nonsense: the cards have been shuffled. You want to work for the company and the company considers you suitable for this. Once you sit down with your future employer, doubt becomes certainty.
Customized event
A tailor-made event is the way to achieve this. By staying in a room with like-minded people for a longer period of time, your personality gets the chance to show itself. Talking about passion and what interests you makes you who you are. Who you are. That is precisely what both the company and we are interested in. It goes without saying that the event will be special. Special, because you will be given the opportunity to look behind the scenes in a fun way at a company that interests you and you will have ample opportunity to enter into dialogue with both company employees and colleagues. The casual atmosphere that this brings completes the whole. Ultimately, the aim is for everyone to return home satisfied: you because you have managed to distinguish yourself positively and the company because it has presented itself in a fun way. A pleasant environment where people get to know each other in an informal way.
Variants
There is also room for additional variants. An example of this could be that, in addition to relaxation, time is also made available for speed dating. You will be questioned and given the opportunity to ask questions. Enlightening, because you need to be alert and sharp in order to present yourself in a fun and original way. Constructive, because you in turn will quickly gain insight into the culture, identity and proposition of the organization in question. The power of tête a tête will prove to be great. Of course we will prepare you well for your date. Just as we are an intermediary between you and the company anyway. We will continue to serve you even after the event. From follow-up conversations to the negotiation process: we are ready. We are only satisfied if you are and are functioning to your full satisfaction in a company or have built a new relationship with an organization in your field. And yes: you can hold us accountable for that!
Companies
It has been said: the right people in the right place. That’s what we promise.
Naturally, we work very precisely to achieve this. To get a clear picture of your company and your vision, a good conversation with you is a must. This way we gain insight into how you manage your company, what identity it has and what image you want to convey. Based on this information, we can put together a clear and unambiguous job profile for you.
This job profile will consist of core values that you wish to see in your staff. This way you know which requirements your potential employees must meet.
But do you also meet the requirements they set? Of course. You do. Our candidates have been carefully selected and extensively screened. That not only makes them suitable for your company, but your company is also suitable for them. It comes down to details, nuances and feeling. To make this more visible, we will organize an event especially for you.
