These are not recruiters, these are trainers!
For twenty years he has been at the helm of Bakkerij Fuite in Apeldoorn. Not just any bakery, by the way: every week more than 300,000 loaves and 1 million rolls are baked for customers in the Netherlands, Germany and Italy, among others. And Klaas Fuite is extremely happy that NextGen has come his way.
Where would Bakery Fuite have been without the help of NextGen?
"Then we would have been stuck and would not have been able to make the strides we have been able to make now. We have really been able to add quality to our bakery. In ten years, we've grown five times. Then you need more and better people. And NextGen is helping us tremendously with that."
"Ultimately, as a company, you have to increase your thinking capacity. We were Saturday amateurs who have to do business with Champions League-level parties. If you want to keep up with them, you need that level in thinking capacity. By partnering with NextGen, we were fortunately able to do that. That's what you get, basically. Level and thinking capacity."
Fuite has seen his people and business grow
"There is training and coaching on a theoretical and mental level, and at the same time our candidate made strides as he got to know the company better and better. That combination is very important."
And, also important, NextGen takes a lot of the 'care'." As a new employee you are not taken by the hand here, we are growing fast and there is just not always time and space for that. Then it's enormously nice that NextGen takes on that task, in the form of coaching, training and guidance."
Accidental collaboration
"And this collaboration actually came about by accident!" Klaas Fuite can still laugh about it. "When I happened to end up next to Frank Exterkate during a business dinner, I thought: yes, there you have another one of those recruiters. But when I let him tell his story, it turned out I was completely wrong. He was talking about NextGen, and that it was nothing like a traditional recruitment agency. That they were actually more trainers. Well, that sounded good. A few days later we were sitting around the table."
