Testimonal Recruitment Days

My name is Joris van de Sande, I was the Treasurer of the Recruitment Days Board in 2020 and I want to share my experiences of my boardyear with you.

After studying for a couple of years, I wanted to gain some hands-on experience with a team of like-minded students and get in contact with top-tier companies in the Netherlands. After looking around, I found the Recruitment Days Board and contacted some previous Board members to gain more insights in the responsibilities and roles possible in the Board.

For me the role as Treasurer was different from other years. We had to keep multiple options open (physical/hybrid/online) and for every option a different scenario had to be made. As the treasurer you have the financial responsibility, which is why you focus on opportunities but also possible problems. The different scenarios forced us to be flexible and take the teamwork to the next level.

The board year was a mix of on the one hand social events, such as board evenings, board mixes and events from other boards and committees. On the other hand I gained experiences and professional skills that still help me today at my job. I can recommend everyone to apply for the Recruitment Days Board! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
