We believe in the force of personal attention: listening, learning, evaluating and, based on a shared ambition, connecting a client with a candidate.
What does the executive search procedure look like? The client and customer are approached both in a personal way and discretely put in contact with each other. And then in a professional way guide both towards a sustainable collaboration.
How? By applying Halbe’s 25 year experience in business and his extensive network in the food ingredients industry for the best result: the right executive for the right position. The procedure is further supported by social advertising, employer branding and the sharing of insights.

Simone Schaeffer
HR Advisor at Euroma
We were looking for a Market Manager for our sales team, and Halbe helped us with that. He couldn’t be more complimentary than the fact that we ended up hiring two people for one position that he recommended to us. I believe we would not have found our colleague, who now has the market manager role, without Halbe. Halbe knows the business, has a great network. Halbe is thorough, critical, thoughtful and open.
Henri Bisschop
Director Potato Sourcing at Aviko
My the collaboration with Halbe was a very positive experience. It actually comes very naturally. Halbe is a good listener and tries to truly understand what is expected from a candidate in a specific position. He is not only able to draw a realistic picture of the position for the candidate, but also to act as a mirror and conversation partner for us. He is able to offer a list of potential candidates within a short amount of time thanks to his large network. He will point out immediately if he expects there will be not a good match. He is very observant in that and seeks the the right balance. Finally, Halbe is personally involved during and after the evaluation process, which gives me a good feeling.
Jelmer Dijkstra
General Manager at Fresenius Kabi
Halbe found suitable project staff with experience in food fairly quickly. We would not have been able to do that ourselves, because we do not yet have a strong network in this industry.
Eric van Roosmalen
Plant Manager at Dawn Foods
I have found the contact with Halbe to be very pleasant. He was alert, clear in his communication and gave good feedback. What I appreciated was his openness about the procedure and his role in it.
Pim van Asperen
Managing Director McCain Lelystad
Working with Halbe is very pleasant, he responds quickly and provides good candidates. He listens and asks the right questions to find out what we really need.
Beert-Jan Kuiken
Maintenance Manager at Teijin Aramid
Tejin Aramid is a chemical company. I also worked for AVEBE and FrieslandCampina. It is during that time that I met Halbe Vogel. Whether you work in chemistry, food or pharma, the maintenance processes look alike. That’s the reasons Halbe succeeded in finding a candidate for our temporary job opening. Halbe is very service-minded. He starts by establishing contact and builds on connection.
Jurgen Snelders
Operations Manager at Merieux NutriSciences
We found ourselves in a transition phase and had hired someone to help us bridge that period. Unfortunately, it did not go through at the last minute. The urgency was high and we really needed support for our Q&A manager. Halbe ensured that the gap was filled with the type of person that fits our organization and fit within our culture. The contact with Halbe was quite informal, nevertheless Halbe is formal at the right moments. Halbe is no-nonsense and straightforward. That is very pleasant to work with.
Arthur Dresen
Supply Chain Director Europe at Pladis/Verkade
Halbe Vogel bases his network on personal contact. He always asks what you as an organization are encountering or struggling with, regardless of whether there is an assignment attached to it for him. We can brainstorm with each other openly and honestly.
Martijn Stork
Technical Service Lead EMEA Cocoa & Chocolate at Cargill
When I was looking for a Technical Account Manager, Halbe Vogel was the one to present several candidates and among them was the person we were looking for. What I liked was that Halbe was able to fill our vacancy quickly.
