I benefit from compelling career opportunities

After completing my Bachelor's degree in International Business and Social Sciences at Rhine-Waal University in 2018, I sought an opportunity to expand my passion for engaging with people and my experience at the intersection of sales and HR. I discovered Robert Walters through a job listing for a dual master’s programme— the ideal combination of theory and practice I had been searching for.

Why I Chose a Dual Master’s Programme

The dual master’s degree in Business Consulting & Digital Management at FOM, which I successfully completed, allowed me to deepen my knowledge while gaining practical experience in recruitment consultancy. I was particularly impressed by the support I received from Robert Walters during my studies—not only through covering a significant portion of the tuition fees but also through my team’s understanding and flexibility. This combination enabled a steep learning curve and laid the foundation for my current professional success.

What Makes My Job Special

For me, being a recruitment consultant at Robert Walters is, above all, a multifaceted role. No two days are the same. I work closely with companies looking for the right talent and support candidates who are eager to advance their careers.

What makes my work particularly exciting is the opportunity to engage with true experts in their fields. Learning from their expertise and gaining deeper insights into a variety of industries and subject areas enriches me daily. Furthermore, the ongoing skills shortage makes recruitment consultancy—particularly in the interim sector—not only highly relevant but also future-proof. With the global presence and support of the group, Robert Walters provides a stable foundation I can always rely on.

What Robert Walters Means to Me

The respectful and supportive team culture, whether in day-to-day office life or during team events, creates a motivating atmosphere that drives me every day. I know I can always count on my colleagues—whether it’s tackling professional challenges or sharing a moment over lunch.

What I particularly value is the transparent and fair approach to career development. At Robert Walters, everyone has the opportunity to actively shape their own progression. Clearly defined goals and perspectives—whether in management or a specialist role—make working here both rewarding and highly appreciated.

Challenges and Opportunities as a Recruitment Consultant

One of the greatest challenges in my career so far was the pandemic. As a newly minted recruitment consultant, I had to adapt quickly to completely changed circumstances and learn to act flexibly. This period was far from easy, but it taught me the importance of resilience, empathy, and a strong network.

What particularly strengthened me during this time was the Robert Walters approach: it’s not just about cold calling but about building trusted, long-term relationships—with both our clients and candidates. These values helped me maintain focus on what truly matters, even during challenging moments. In hindsight, I am grateful for this experience, as it helped me grow both professionally and personally.

Why I Would Choose Robert Walters Again

Robert Walters provides me with the opportunity to develop my career in an environment where I feel comfortable. From the centrally located office to the wide range of training opportunities, everything here is designed to help me achieve my professional goals. And let’s not forget the unbeatable selection of restaurants just a few steps away—another reason I enjoy coming to work.

Today, I am proud to be part of a company that helps powering people and organisations to fulfil their unique potential.
