Like my colleagues, I go for the best deals, but in this case, that means: for the best recruitment deals.

By nature I’m very curious and, when it comes to finances, you can probably tell me more than I can tell you.

Of course, I ask candidates about their background and study choices, and what side jobs and internships they’ve had –  but also about their affinity with entrepreneurship and SMEs.
