Thinking Along with the Customer
Sander from Kookers regularly looks for employees who can think along with the varying needs of his customers. With Kookers, he organizes cooking events including cooking demos, cooking workshops, and live cooking catering. “I noticed that people who work in the event industry often do it as a second job. So, when Payper approached me, the decision was easy to make.”
Good Match
SecondJob, one of Payper's platforms, believes that a second job is an opportunity for personal and professional development. “I believe in this too,” says Sander. “A job should be an extension of your life, not a restriction. You should do something you enjoy, and you should look for work where you can learn something. For this reason, Payper is the perfect match for the event industry. Many people enter this sector for specific reasons. For example, they want to surround themselves with people, do something with music, or sharpen their social skills.”
Thinking Outside the Box
“When I have applicants over, I often notice that they only think within their own patterns. They find it difficult to be flexible or to change their rhythm. This is very challenging, as our customers are very diverse and therefore have different needs. I was surprised by the candidates who applied through SecondJob. They are very eager to work and therefore more open to thinking along with the customer.”
Dating Site
“I was afraid that Payper would really act as a mediator. This would actually be quite logical. Compare it to a dating site, if you do your job well, your customer doesn’t come back. But that wasn’t the case at all. It's very pleasant to experience that things can also be straightforward. So far, I have found 3 new employees through Payper who I am very happy with. Since I'm always looking for new people, I actually have one or more vacancies on Payper continuously.”
Highly Recommended
With his first vacancies, Sander found a new office manager and two people for events. He says: “The reach of Payper is really amazing. I am very glad I made the move and I would highly recommend it, especially for companies in the event industry. My new employees via Payper have been working for about half a year now and I am very satisfied with them.”
