I received some great coaching and found a nice and challenging job within 2 months. So thanks a lot, Ozan! In the future I will certainly approach you more often, but then in the capacity of me looking for staff for a nice challenge.

CheckMark is a great company that actively searches for a job that fits your background, experience, and preferences. I am very satisfied with my new job as a product developer in the food sector. I would have never found this amazing job without CheckMark.

Given my age of 45, I visited CheckMark to find out whether I was still employable with my experience. I received some good and realistic advice and found a new job through CheckMark. During my contact with CheckMark, I noticed that they really do go out of their way to also place people in the latter part of their careers, emphasising experience.

I would like to thank CheckMark and Jurjen Wilschut for their efforts and direct communication during last month. Thanks to their efforts, I can now take the next step in my career. I'm therefore very excited to start my new position as Senior Research Associate!

Thanks to CheckMark I found a fun and unique job with the best colleagues you can wish for. After registering I was being tended to quickly and with the very friendly collaboration of CheckMark I was soon invited for an interview. I've now found my place here and that's down to CheckMark.
