"Maartje Smeenk excels in her enormous positive drive and enthusiasm to find the right PA for the right place. I did several searches with her and all candidates fit perfectly within the culture, had the perfect click and the right competencies to allow us to further excel as an organization. She really delivers custom work, super service and also after-sales service. It is exceptional to see how quickly, efficiently and extremely well-groomed Maartje succeeds every time in making candidates and clients happy. That is what it is all about. I can heartily recommend her."

"My collaboration with Maartje began in 2017 when I was looking for an executive assistant to support our growing business at PVH Europe BV, Tommy Hilfiger's and Calvin Klein's international HQ, and with pleasure. She has proven to have great knowledge of the candidate market and through experience is very well capable of replacing herself into the organizational needs to find the right person for the role. Maartje has a very consistent and effective working process in place and I am very much looking forward to working with her again in the future. Thanks again for everything!"

"Maartje Smeenk has guided my search for a new PA for Endoor in a very professional manner. Maartje distinguishes herself through a customized search process. Her working method is accurate, precise and customer-oriented. Her approach ensures well-matching candidates and she also helps prepare your interviews, the candidate’s on-boarding, communicates accurately throughout the procedure and arranges all necessary details to ensure a smooth process. Maartje introduced us to three very promising candidates and I have made my choice. Maartje is also very attentive and professional towards applicants. She asks for feedback herself and also provides constructive feedback, if functional. PA-search is in good hands with Maartje. She is very reliable, guarantees quality and also saves you a lot of work."

"In 2018, I decided to register for an executive PA role with Smeenk’s Personal Assistants, because of an interesting and appealing position they advertised on LinkedIn. After a pleasant intake interview, Maartje Smeenk guided me perfectly throughout the application process. My experience is that Maartje stands for her clients and candidates and she does not hesitate to provide any feedback / coaching to both parties. Maartje does this in the interest of both her client and candidate. I have experienced her as professional, sincere, honest and positive and with a very accurate working process in place. I have experienced our collaboration as very positive and thanks to Maartje, I have enjoyed working with my current employer since January 2019."

"I met Maartje in early 2018 as a result of our placement for search for a new executive assistant for Van Wijnen. Her involvement, assistance and explicit interest in our wishes, needs and match surprised me both pleasantly and significantly. Maartje not only considered our wishes and needs, but also our profile and that of the candidates. This resulted in an excellent match. Thanks to her methods and approach, Maartje introduced us to three very promising candidates. Maartje invested a significant amount of time,energy and attention in our search. I can highly recommend Maartje to both clients and candidates!"

"Maartje is a very experienced and thorough recruiter. She provides high service and quality for high service job openings. It was a pleasure to be interviewed by her and share some thoughts at the same time."

"Maartje is a professional recruiter with an admirable commercial instinct. With her 'recruitment and selection of executive assistants' she boosts the secretarial profession and provides secretaries with the respect and distinction they deserve. While producing a series of 'secretary-executive' interviews for Maartje, I have spoken to many of her clients who are just as impressed by her approach as I am. So if you ever need a top-class secretary, call Maartje!"
