Over time, I have come to know Joost as a reliable and expert HR professional who has the ability to think ‘out of the box’. Joost is open to innovation and as an HR professional he has made a critical contribution to the continuing development of organisations and departments. Plus, he’s just a nice person.

I got to know Joost as a very driven HR professional. He always has his eye on the right interests and relationships and knows the right way to take the right decisions, with a human touch. He’s open to exploring uncharted territory and constantly probes his limits without infringing on others. What I wish for Joost is that he remains true to himself and continues to pursue his profession as he has always done.

Our first encounter was an eye-opener. Joost zeroed in on the real problem I was facing in just one conversation and immediately got me thinking about my career, what I wanted and my ability to get there. A year later, this resulted in a career shift in which Joost again played a part. I’m grateful for his advice and for showing me what’s possible.

Joost was my internship and thesis supervisor during my graduation internship at DocMorris. Throughout this period, I was always able to build on his expertise and knowledge of HR, which helped me to finish my thesis and continue my personal development. I got to know Joost as a driven, constructive and energetic HR manager with firm and lucid views about the goals to be achieved in the organisation, and as a supervisor who kept a critical eye on my graduation research.
