In the world of ICT recruitment, where changing employers is often seen as progress, staying with the same employer for six years is more the exception than the rule. Yet that is exactly what Céline can proudly say: she has now been a reliable presence at Amandis for six years. And that is no coincidence.
“As a recruiter, I help people take the step towards something new. But that doesn’t mean I see change as the only path to growth. I believe just as strongly in the power of staying. Staying to grow within the same organization, continuing to learn, continuing to build relationships and trust. Here at Amandis, I get all the space to do just that.”
What motivates her? Céline fully commits to long-term relationships: with her candidates, her clients, and her colleagues. For her, it’s not enough to just make the right match; she wants to contribute to career paths where people can continue to develop. That’s why she strives not only for quality in selection but also for high retention among her clients.
“I want candidates to feel at home with our client and be able to keep building their future there. But just as important is that our client can count on engaged, quality employees in the long term who help make a difference. That is also very fulfilling for me: when both parties truly benefit and move forward.”
A beautiful example of this came to Céline recently when she shared her work anniversary on LinkedIn. Shortly after, a candidate sent her a message: they had seen the post and suddenly realized they themselves had been with the same employer for almost six years — thanks to Céline’s mediation. In the meantime, they had even grown from Business Analyst to IT Manager.
"Messages like that genuinely make me happy. Then you know: I did my job well. It’s great to see that both the candidate and the client are truly satisfied and strengthen each other in the long term."
Over the past six years, Céline has earned the trust at Amandis to develop her own style, deepen her expertise, and build sustainable relationships. In an environment that values authenticity and encourages initiative, she found exactly what she also strives for on behalf of others: the right match.
Bart Menschaert from HR Power also sees this as a powerful example of sustainable HR:
“Retention is crucial for SMEs because keeping talented employees ensures business continuity and helps keep recruitment, selection, and training costs under control. Céline’s example is typical in this regard. She is an enthusiastic woman who strives for the right match between client and candidate, and she knows that success is impossible if she doesn’t enjoy carrying out that assignment. That enjoyment and fulfillment come from continuing to believe in herself, in the organization, and in the opportunities she gets there. It’s a win-win for both Amandis and Céline, but in this case also for the client and the candidate 😉.”
A fitting quote for this: “Good things come to those who wait. Better things come to those who don’t give up. And the best things come to those who keep believing.”
Thanks to Céline’s dedication, enthusiasm, and authenticity, she has become a reliable pillar within Amandis. We are particularly proud to have her on our team.
And luckily: she’s far from done growing. Here’s to many more exciting years!
