Our take on the world of work
In a constantly changing world, HeadFirst Group is actively working on the next world of work. Important in this are diversity, inclusion and sustainability. We strive for a fair, open labor market where talent and companies come together.
We assist clients in their search for talent, while helping professionals find new challenges. In addition, we support partners and suppliers in recruiting and finding suitable professionals, both through an online platform and in person.
Our values
Customer first
Yes, we are sizeable in our market, but we remain a flat organization. We don't treat a client - let alone a colleague - as a number, but as a relationship that you treat with personal attention.
Learn everyday
We strive to get a little better every day. By taking initiative, we show our entrepreneurship. We actively seek improvement potential, with data being an important source.
Connecting people
Connection is the core of our existence. Personal contact is essential to this. Asking questions is allowed, indeed it is required. We are curious and show interest. That makes working together fun.
Our mission
Together with our rapidly growing network, we strive for one common goal: a transparent and balanced labor market, without bias, in which organizations and talent are perfectly connected.
Our social responsibility
As an ever-growing provider of HR tech solutions, we take our role seriously in terms of our impact on people, the environment and society. In the future, success will not only be measured by profitability, but also by the value we create and the impact we have.
