Hi! I'm Iselde 👋 - Founder @ The Entrepreneurials

At The Entrepreneurials, we specialize in pairing tech companies with 'Entrepreneurials'—not just skilled professionals, but real movers and shakers who thrive on innovation and challenge.

My recruitment path started over a decade ago in the high-energy, high-stakes recruitment scenes of Northern England. 

Rejecting the standard cutthroat methods, I pioneered a new approach focused on mindset and cultural synergy. This approach resonated deeply, drawing clients and candidates who were seeking more than just a job match—they were looking for a vision match.

At a venture builder in the Netherlands plagued by an 80% turnover rate, I shifted our strategy to emphasize adaptability and a growth mindset. 

The result? A dramatic cut in turnover to under 10% within six months, proving that the right people are not just fillers of positions but are pivotal to transforming businesses.

Why Settle for Traditional When You Can Innovate?

- Skill Gaps and Obsolescence: We live in a fast-paced world where today's skills can become tomorrow's history. We anticipate future needs.
- High Turnover: We go beyond the resume to match deep-rooted compatibility, significantly reducing turnover.
- Stifled Innovation: Our candidates are handpicked not just to fit in, but to stand out and drive change.

Our Distinctive Edge:
The Entrepreneurials isn't just a recruitment firm; it's a revolution in talent acquisition. We believe in nurturing a pipeline of individuals who are ready to disrupt the status quo and elevate your company to new heights.

Dit is waarom venture building zo mooi is.
Van idee → naar viraal gaan → naar 1000en aanmeldingen → NOS aandacht → distributiekans bij CB.

We zoeken een co-founder (& CTO) die nu instapt.
Niet om te optimaliseren.
Maar om mee te bouwen aan wat dit kan worden.

Founder & CEO Lekkerladen.com backed by Achmea Impact Ventures

Gisterochtend werd ik geïnterviewd door de NOS over ERE’s, elektrificatie en lekkerladen.com

Hartstikke leuk om te doen en ook broodnodig, want de vraag popt nog vaak op:
“Dus ik kan geld verdienen met mijn laaddata?”

 Ja. Maar eigenlijk gaat het om iets veel groters en daarom was het ook zo leuk om te laten zien hoe we het bij Lekkerladen.com simpel maken voor onze partners en de thuislader.

Het gaat over het goed organiseren van iets wat nu nog nieuw, complex en soms ondoorzichtig is. Over regelgeving die nog in ontwikkeling is.
Over data die moet kloppen. Over verantwoordelijkheid nemen richting consumenten, MKB, verificateurs en overheid.

En ja, het betekent ook pionieren. Uitleggen. Twijfels wegnemen. Processen bouwen die er nog niet waren.

Wat ons motiveert, is dat hier échte waarde wordt gecreëerd.
Niet door een subsidie “mee te pakken”, maar door duurzaam laden aantoonbaar en controleerbaar te maken. Transparant. Verifieerbaar. Toekomstbestendig. Dat we daar vandaag met de NOS over in gesprek mochten, voelt als een bevestiging dat dit onderwerp volwassen en toereikend voor iedereen wordt.

En we staan nog maar aan het begin.

Trots op het team en dankbaar voor het vertrouwen van onze partners.
En vooral gemotiveerd om dit verder te professionaliseren🚀.
