Yara and Florentine joined us during challenging times and guided the company on both strategic and operational people topics. They restructured and improved our people processes to set us up for future success. I am impressed with their fast and factual analysis, the strategic approach they took, and their positive power of execution. I’d love to work with them next time!
Reinier Hendriks | CEO Fairphone
I highly recommend 7people for your organization’s People and Culture needs. They are a down-to-earth, knowledgeable, results-oriented company that helps us scale quickly. I’m very impressed with the expertise and experience that they've delivered for almost a year. I believe they would be a valuable partner for any organization that wants to scale fast and well, whether you have one specific question or have them as part of your own team.
Mark de Vos | CEO & Co-founder GoBoony
From the 7people team Yara and Romara stepped in to build our very first growth and salary framework and our performance process. It was uniquely tailor-made to our company goals and employee needs, with a creative wink to everything food-related so it matches our brand. When they wrapped up the assignment Yara even stayed almost a year longer as our fractional Head of People to guide and develop our people team and navigate us on HR-related matters. It was a great addition to our team we are very happy they set our new Head of People up for success.
Richard Beks | Co-founder & CCO Orbisk
The past 5 months the 7people team helped us with some challenging and much needed HR projects such as running people operations under difficult circumstances, guidance on employee cases, creating a new employee handbook/processes and most importantly helping us structure for the future. Thanks to both Iris and Ingeborg we are now better equipped and have a better People & Culture structure in place. It's been an absolute pleasure. If there's something strange in your P&C organisation, who you gonna call?
Edgar Rouwenhorst | CMO Zenchef
We’ve worked with several of the 7people team members over the past years, on a variety of HR projects. I’m always impressed with the expertise, creativity and professionalism they bring. A great addition to our own team, highly recommended.
Mieke Veldhuis | Chief People Officer The Social Hub
We are very happy with the support provided by the 7people team. Floor and Iris worked with us for a period of 7 months, and provided HR Operational expertise. They helped us with day-to-day people ops, created efficient processes, and delivered several projects - including our new Employee Handbook. Their 'just do it' mentality, positive attitude, and quality of work are very refreshing.
Marta Romero | Head of People OpenUp
Together with Judith from 7people we created a compensation philosophy, career levelling framework and redesigned our yearly growth and performance cycle. She keeps high pace, but also delivers high quality and also important: we had fun while doing it. We are very happy with the result and are eager to start working with our new tools.
Liza de Jong | People & Culture Manager Brenger
Simone did a tremendous job in developing the People & Culture department at myTomorrows. In 6 months, she made an impressive impact, by creating and implementing company values, creating a learning & development framework, choosing and implementing a new HRIS, and building a career & growth framework. 7people also helped with the search for our new Head of People & Culture, presenting us with very high-quality candidates. I would recommend 7people to any growing organization that wants to bring its People and Culture department to the next level!
Michel van Harten | CEO myTomorrows
The 7people team supported Vitestro with improving our employer branding. We are really happy with the advice we received, the social media calendar, the new job advertisements, and the updated Recruitee page. It looks great, thank you!
Dewi Hamwijk | Head of People Vitestro
We have had a fantastic collaboration with 7people. Jon and Judith led the implementation of our very first HRIS. In doing so, they digitized and sustainably established many of our HR processes. Judith also created our employee handbook: a challenging project given the 16 countries we operate in (including 16 different laws and regulations!). It was a valuable partnership, and the result exceeded our expectations. We will not hesitate to work with Ingeborg and her team again for every upcoming HR project: 7people rocks!
Sandrien Boogaard | HR Director GoodHabitz
I really enjoyed working with Yara during her time at Scribbr. She is a real team player! We were able to tackle a lot of projects in a short time span and I very much enjoyed her positivity and growth mindset. Also, the open communication, honest feedback and good questions. She works hard, and that shows. Due to Yara we made strategic decisions for our teams to transition. It was a pleasure working together.
Bas Swaen | CEO & Cofounder Scribbr
7people was really the perfect match for us at the stage the company was at. They delivered across the board, from strategic people & culture topics to implementing our HRIS, to very HR-specific stuff on hiring and firing people, to helping out with very operational things. Nothing was too big/small.
Claire was always reachable and flexible with her time, and super reliable. She is very positive and energetic. I could just hand over the problem/question/task, and she would take care of it. They also helped us hire our new Head of People, which was great.
Margriet Hooghiemstra | Chief of Staff Thorizon
Judith joined us for 6 months to cover a maternity leave as People & Culture Director. We could not wish for a better “stand-in”. We were in a turbulent phase and she brought the right questions and critical points to the table. Judith was part of the team since the day she started and kept this connection & commitment until the very last minute. Steering the P&C team, taking a seat in the Leadership Team and guiding projects. Judith is the perfect helper if you need more structure, vision & clarity. She helped us take the next steps in our growth/change process.
Barbara de Jong | Operations Director Zoku
Paul joined our team as interim HR Business Partner and immediately added value. He's a great colleague who listens well and quickly connects with the rest of the team. He also worked very independently, with a focus on progress and results. In a relatively short time he finished an important project, and I highly recommend working with him.
Willemijn de Wit | Director People & Culture ChannelEngine
We had a fantastic collaboration with Iris, who was with us for 3 months. She fit into the culture of our company from day one, so it felt like she had been working for us for much longer. Iris was a great sparring partner on People & Culture topics (for example Compensation & Benefits) and was able to improve some of the operational processes. She also helped us to recruit our new People & Culture Advisor! It was a nice cooperation in which we could also use the knowledge of 7people and we definitely recommend Iris as a talented People & Culture colleague!
Doortje van der Laan | Head of People Pacmed
Yara joined us in early 2023 as interim VP of People, temporarily stepping into that role while we searched for a replacement. She not only helped keep the company on track, but she proactively identified, worked on, and delivered substantial improvements to our business. It's been a true pleasure working with Yara.
Rien Kamman | CEO Source
We have had a great collaboration with 7people. Judith, amongst other projects, led the implementation of our growth and development cycle which started with the preparation of job profiles and ended with a full flash annual growth cycle being explained to the entire company. It was a valuable partnership of which the result exceeded our expectations. We hope to work together with 7people in the future as well!
Pim Kerckheart | CFO Salonized
The 7people team supported us with building a professional, efficient and attractive people foundation. Sanne and Yara became part of our team, and helped us to establish ways of working, define our values, built the HR system and designed our growth framework. They also recruited our Head of People, handing over at the end of their assignment to our new internal people team. The result of our work together was much better than anything we could have accomplished on our own. Fun ánd professional to work with, we'd have them back in a heartbeat.
Uwe van Rensburg | Co-founder Biller
The 7people team referred excellent candidates for HRBP and senior TA profiles to us in a short period of time, resulting in 2 appointments. We are really impressed by the quality of candidates and the great fit for our company.
Jemma Johns | Chief People Officer Irdeto
For a period of 6 months Romara has done a tremendous job supporting us with HR tasks during the maternity leave of our HR Manager. And doing these tasks with a super positive mindset, it’s contagious! It really was a pleasure to work with Romara, we wish her best of luck with her upcoming projects!
Eric Polak | Change Manager (People/HR) Instapro Group
In the 7 months that Sanne has been with us, she built a great foundation for People & Culture and acted as a great sparring partner for the leadership team. We loved having her on the team and can highly recommend other startups to work with her and 7people! Thanks so much for your great work.
Hannah Brocke | Co-founder & CSO PlanBlue
As a law firm in the Netherlands, we immediately experienced the added value of Yara and Iris. In an interactive and inclusive way, Yara helped us define our unique company values and the structure of our back office. Based on these values, she delivered our people strategy and growth & performance program. Together with Iris, she brought our employer branding story forward which resulted in attracting multiple new colleagues. This enabled us to grow! It was a pleasure to work with them, as it helped us professionally and we had a blast.
Remko Roosjen | Partner MAAK
At a critical growth stage with our company hiring the right people was of the utmost importance. Ingeborg guided us through the whole hiring process and set up our people strategy. Because of this, we were able to secure unique talents who trusted our company and felt our message. She brings so much invaluable experience with her. We continue to work with 7people as our People & Culture advisor and help us become one of Amsterdam's most desirable places to work.
Alexander Sporre | Co-founder Stories
We appointed a new CPO at Uberall with the help of Ingeborg. The search was successfully concluded, additionally she was simply great to work with and supported us with a number of HR questions along the way.
Florian Hübner | Founder & CEO Uberall
Ingeborg created a professional and refreshing 'people' function from scratch. She knows how to shape a performance driven culture based on strong employee engagement and has put Mollie on the map as an attractive employer. She can add a lot of value to organizations that really want to make progress by offering new perspectives and concrete solutions.
Gaston Aussems | Former CEO Mollie
Ingeborg helped us create a professional and fun-loving People Strategy to enable our further growth. She helped us evolve into a desirable place to work with people at the heart of our organization. With an eye for talent acquisition, she also helped us find our new Head of People & Culture. At this stage we still rely on Ingeborg as a valuable advisor and continue to work with 7people.
Jorn van Klooster | Founder & Co-owner Loavies
Ingeborg was our interim Head of People for a period of 7 months. During her time with us, she managed to finish and implement a number of projects that we were thinking about for years. So really kudos for getting all this done!
Hans Ober | CEO TicketSwap
Ingeborg made a big impact on the growth and culture at Payaut. She helped us build a professional and fun environment, and because of her advice we are better able to attract and retain top talent.
Ernst van Niekerk | Founder & CEO Payaut
