In the dynamic world of logistics and production, personnel are the engine of the company. At P. de Vrij, they understand this better than anyone. As a full-service partner, P. de Vrij completely unburdens its clients: from collecting and cleaning products to storage, packaging, transport, and everything in between. 

But how do you keep that engine running when, as an HR manager, you face major challenges in recruitment? We spoke with Helene, HR manager at P. de Vrij, about the close collaboration with OPUS Recruitment and how they achieve growth together. 

 

The challenge: Quality and communication 

As the sole HR representative within P. de Vrij, Helene knows better than anyone that finding the right staff is a profession in itself. The biggest challenge? Finding skilled workers who, in addition to their native language, also speak good English or Dutch. 

“We are experiencing strong growth, and that requires staff who can communicate well with us and our clients,” says Helene. “I want to be able to communicate directly with the people on the work floor. That is essential for our quality standards.” 

 

The strength of direct collaboration 

The collaboration between P. de Vrij and OPUS Recruitment has grown and become more professional over the years. It is a partnership based on a ‘no-nonsense’ mentality: no unnecessary detours, but transparency and direct solutions. 

When asked what the decisive factor is in choosing OPUS Recruitment, Helene is clear: “It’s the ability to switch quickly and provide the right people. Recruitment can sometimes be a complex challenge for us, but at OPUS they know exactly what we need. The staff we currently employ through them fully meet our expectations.” 

 

OPUS Recruitment in three words 

What is the core of the collaboration? When we ask Helene to describe OPUS’ services in three words, she says: “Reliable, fast, and keeps agreements.” 

It is this combination that makes the difference for P. de Vrij. A partner that not only promises, but also delivers. “I definitely recommend OPUS Recruitment to other organizations,” she adds. “I place great value on a party that keeps its word. That is the foundation of our strong relationship.”
