Welcome, I am Guus

With years of experience in the legal sector, I’ve mastered the art of building teams with insight and intention. I specialize in connecting talent that not only fits but elevates your organization to the next level.

People first

I’m here to support clients and candidates at every stage, even when there’s no immediate placement.
