Technical linking pins for developing, maintaining and securing our tools and platforms.

I am a member of our flex team, while other IT colleagues work specifically on one of our tools. The possibility to find out, for ourselves, what type of work matches our own preferences and abilities is one of the main reasons I love this job and team. And when I say ‘team’, I really mean that we are a team: my colleagues are experts in what they do, and all of us are always willing to pick one another’s brains.

Niels

Senior IT developer, 10 years at Hudson R&D.

Back Office is the vital linchpin for the whole R&D department. As a team, we enable our consultants to focus on their content-related tasks, and we are the grease that makes R&D run smoothly. For me, specifically, this means planning and organising training sessions for our own Hudson colleagues, as well as for external clients.

Lien

I am responsible for developing our Tools for Talent and IT platform. I’m an expert in the data analyses and research that we carry out to shape our developments and our strategy. Because the field in which we work evolves so quickly, we need to keep investing to ensure that we can stay up to speed with the latest developments and continuously readjust the course we set out for the coming years.

Christine

Consultant Tools for Talent, 6 years at Hudson R&D.

During my first two years, I worked as a writer of simulation exercises. My job today is nothing like it was then: I now work in a coordinating and supporting role for a number of our products, one of which is our Tools for Talent platform. What I really value above all else is being able to work in an environment that allows people to be themselves and encourages them to tap into their full potential. On top of that, these colleagues are also just really fun to hang out with outside of work.

Gert-Jan

Project Coordination, 8 years at Hudson R&D.

Developing test items and analysing data was what piqued my interest in joining the department, it was not long before I also became actively involved in researching the topics of Diversity, Equality & Inclusion. It is very encouraging when your interest in a specific topic is recognised and valued. Moreover, it feels really rewarding to me that, as a team, we are facilitated to be able to deliver high-quality output.

Shirley

Consultant Tools for Talent & Though Leadership, 2 years at Hudson R&D.

I am delighted to be part of a smoothly running support team. This allows each of us to work on side projects alongside to our Customer Service work. By alternating between deep work and handling Support tickets, we can maintain a fresh perspective and a customer-oriented mindset. These factors contribute to providing our customers with excellent service, which in turn leads to pleasant contacts and interactions with them.

Frédéric

Consultant Customer Service, 7 years at Hudson R&D.

My main goal as a Director is defining and safeguarding a culture of positivity, openness and inclusion. This is something that requires a lot of time, energy and commitment from both me and my management team. However, I believe that over the years we have seen the fruits of this approach: the people here dare to say and be who they are.
