Trainees in Eindhoven, how to find the qualified ones?

Do you find it difficult to find  skilled trainees in Eindhoven? We can fully understand that this is difficult, because it is very important to find qualified trainees. You invest a lot of time and money in this recently graduated student, so of course you want them to actually be of use to you in the end. For those of you who don’t yet know exactly what a trainee is, we’ll first clarify this.

What is a trainee?

A trainee is a student who has recently graduated and is in training at a company. The student learns and works simultaneously within a company, usually for about two years, but there are also traineeships of one year or longer than two years. The period of the traineeship is fixed in advance. In principle, a traineeship can be seen as a kind of entry-level position, so it is not considered an internship. Often the trainee can join various departments to get the chance to discover exactly what his or her interests are. The aim of hiring a trainee is to integrate the starter into the company and then to be able to work as a full-time all-round employee.

Make use of secondment or temporary staffing in Eindhoven

To find good trainees in Eindhoven it is a good idea to make use of a secondment or temporary employment agency. These agencies mediate between supply and demand. They will look for a suitable candidate who fits within the company and the requirements. You do not have to put any effort into the search process. Usually they come up with a number of candidates, so you can choose which one you think is most suitable.

The two main advantages of working with a secondment or temporary work agency

1. Recruitment & selection out of your hands
   Looking for a good trainee is a time-consuming process. A temporary employment agency or secondment agency takes that out of your hands. The agencies have a large network and can therefore find the right match more quickly. This saves you a lot of time and effort.
2. Flexibility
   You can temporarily bind employees to your company. This is an advantage when you have a specific demand for a certain period. For example with a temporary project or when an employee is sick. In the case of trainees you obviously do not assume that this will be for a short period of time, but it can be an advantage when the trainee does not perform well.
