Olfertjan Niemeijer founded Independent Recruiters in 2003, still the largest part of the Independent Recruiters Group. After working for Adecco for a long time, where he says he learnt 90% of the recruitment profession, he made the move to the recruitment & selection sector. After three very successful periods at three different recruitment & selection agencies (Robert Half, Chalmers Brown and N&S), he became an entrepreneur. As a Managing Consultant he is responsible for strategy, business development and individually coaching consultants.
