Mimi VerLoren van Themaat
Entrepreneurship and commerce come naturally to me and have been an important theme throughout my life. As a small child I painted and sold shells outside our holiday home in France, and at college I started a small business selling handmade jewelry. My whole life I’ve been fascinated by the motives of people and why they make certain decisions. It was for this reason that I decided to study Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. During my studies I worked at several sales companies including Pepperminds and The Sales Unit, in face-to-face marketing where I could apply the sales theories I read about in my spare time. This led to being employed as a Corporate Recruitment Manager at The Sales Unit and signaled the start of my career in recruitment.
After working several years in recruitment at international recruitment consultancies in the field of (Online) Data Analytics, I decided to quit my job in the beginning of the Corona pandemic to start as an interim recruitment advisor.
Some time later, after working as an interim in-house recruiter at amazing companies such as Ankorstore, Patagonia, PwC and Gemeente Den Haag, I decided to go back to my first love; agency recruitment. Even though I love building strong teams for those amazing companies, I missed working with candidates for a longer period of time, helping them flourish in their career and working with multiple teams and companies to help them find the best fit to make their business grow.
