Hot Seat Netherlands: Recruitment Unfiltered

  • November 27, 2025
  • IG! Intelligence group, Rotterdam

Real talk. No filters. All about recruitment.

Forget stiff panels and over-polished presentations — this event is all about real stories, real people, and real conversations that matter.

💥 Keynote: Hiring for the future
Frank van Moort, 
Head of Recruitment at HEMA takes the stage to share his view on how to reimagine recruitment; how you can blend innovation, creativity, and people-first thinking. Get ready for fresh ideas you’ll actually want to bring back to your team!

Then, it’s time to turn up the heat 🔥

🎤 The Hot Seat: Live Panel Edition
For our hot seat, we will feature Recruitment Expert Patrick Boonstra, Jobylon CPO Alex Tidgård, and HEMA's Frank van Moort on stage for an unfiltered, unscripted conversation about all things recruitment.

From AI and data to hiring trends, and all the uncomfortable truths about hiring we rarely say out loud. Expect honest takes, a few laughs, and maybe even some uncomfortable questions.

Bring your curiosity, your questions, and a bit of Dutch directness – because nothing’s off-limits here! 

Afterwards? We’ll do what we do best: grab a drink, have a laugh, and get a little gezellig with other TA and HR pros.

Save your seat now - it’s going to get hot.

🇬🇧 This event will be held in English.
