As a Sales Manager, growing a team of top sustainability advisors is both my biggest challenge and priority. Standard job boards weren’t bringing us the right profiles — we needed specialists who could combine expertise with real impact.

Through our partnership with DuurzameJobs, we were able to tap into hidden talent pools that others simply couldn’t reach. With their customized hiring plan and sector-specific approach, we added 7 outstanding specialists to our team last year alone.

This collaboration has been a true game-changer — not just filling roles, but building a stronger, future-focused team that drives our sustainability mission forward.

For months we struggled to fill a critical role: a BREEAM and CO₂ performance ladder specialist who could help us make our portfolio of buildings across the Netherlands more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and compliant with upcoming legislation. The position had been open for far too long, and we needed more than just CVs — we needed a true expert.

DuurzameJobs listened carefully to our challenges and tapped into a new pool of candidates we had never reached through conventional job boards. Their talent sourcing approach brought us the right specialist — someone who not only understands energy labels and sustainability frameworks, but also shares our vision for future-proof real estate.

Thanks to this hire, we’re now better equipped to reduce costs, improve energy performance, and create a healthier CO₂ footprint across our buildings. What once felt like a major challenge has turned into a huge step forward.
