Experiences with CodeGuild | Software Engineering Recruitment

15:10 27 Feb 23

Roy heeft mij heel goed geholpen met het vinden van een nieuwe baan, met zeer hoge eisen. Het hele proces heeft uiteindelijk minder dan 2 weken geduurd, wat veel sneller was dan ik had verwacht. Voor mij is het de perfecte nieuwe baan, met veel uitdaging en een zeer goed salaris.CodeGuild weet echt waar ze het over hebben, wat geen vanzelfsprekendheid is bij IT recruiters.Ik kan CodeGuild daarom zeer aanbevelen!

I work as a software engineer, and I was ready for a change of working environment so I sent my CV to CodeGuild. Very quickly, I was contacted by Sven Gerrmann. This was by far the BEST experience I've had job searching. He helped with everything from finding the right opportunities, arranging interviews, helping me prepare, negotiating a contract, helping to calm my nerves and making sure I had everything I need to make the right decision. Through the entire process, it was extremely reassuring to know I had him on my side.I told him about my work experience and ambitions, and that my favourite languages are Typescript and Golang. He came back the next day with 3 extremely attractive positions that matched my experience and ambitions perfectly. It took less than 3 weeks for me to have a great offer in my hands! I can't wait to start the new job and I can't thank Sven enough for everything he did for me.I would strongly recommend Sven and CodeGuild to any software engineer looking for new opportunities, and to any company looking to hire top talent.

2.5 jaar heb ik hier gewerkt met veel plezier en het vak recruitment geleerd. Ik heb bij meerdere recruitment bureaus' gewerkt maar nergens beleven ze recruitment zoals bij CodeGuild, bij CodeGuild hanteren ze de ambacht recruitment. Veel kandidaten zullen dit beamen zoals in de reviews weergeven. Maar als voormalig werknemer was dit een zeer prettige werkplek en een unieke omgeving om alles omtrent recruitment te leren binnen een gepassioneerd en gedreven team!

CodeGuild en Daan van der Mark hebben mij fantastisch geholpen in de zoektocht naar een nieuwe baan als full-stack ontwikkelaar. Vanaf het begin merkte ik dat er oprechte interesse was en met Daan had ik meteen een klik. Ik ben nog nooit zoveel geappt door een recruiter, maar raar genoeg vond ik dat bij CodeGuild erg prettig. Ik ben altijd goed geholpen en begeleid door alle rondes. Ook was Daan altijd in voor een grapje. Hierdoor kwam hij al vrij snel met een bedrijf waar ik nog nooit van had gehoord, maar wel super goed bij me paste. Ik zou CodeGuild aanraden aan elke ontwikkelaar die op zoek is naar een nieuwe baan!

Als software engineer en team lead met meerdere jaren ervaringen was ik op zoek naar iets nieuws. Serge Warbout had ik al meerdere keren gesproken, maar nooit voor iets echt concreets. Doordat ik en code en mensen leuk vind heb ik lang gezocht naar een goede volgende stap. Serge kwam hiermee. Nu heb ik een mooie uitdagende baan vlakbij huis in de provincie Utrecht waar ik met beide passies aan de slag kan.Serge neemt de tijd voor je, luistert, en is intrinsiek gemotiveerd om je op de juiste plek te krijgen. Hij daagt je ook uit om na te denken, zodat je van jezelf ook beter weet wat je dan precies zoekt. Daarnaast is Serge niet te beroert om je met de neus op de feiten te drukken, of om gewoonweg te zeggen dat iets niet handig of onmogelijk is. In het gehele proces is Serge transparant over bedrijven, kansen, en beloningen.CodeGuild zelf heb ik ervaren als een bedrijf dat mooie uitdagende vacatures heeft. Wat ik als zeer fijn ervaar is dat de vacatures duidelijk beschrijven wat je gaat doen, waarmee, en met wie. En daarnaast benoemen ze ook altijd de bandbreedte van het salaris, dat vind ik dwars van de meeste recruiters die dit willen achterhouden.

CodeGuild heeft mij succesvol geholpen bij het vinden van een functie als Java Developer in Amsterdam. Vrijwel direct nadat ik CodeGuild had benaderd nam Roy contact met mij op. Ik had het gevoel dat er gedurende het hele proces goed geluisterd werd naar mijn wensen betreffende de functie die ik voor ogen had en het type bedrijf wat daarbij aansluit, terwijl Roy ook realistische verwachtingen schepte. Uiteindelijk heb ik zo de mogelijkheid gekregen om met interessante bedrijven in gesprek te gaan. Dit heeft geleidt tot een mooi aanbod bij een bedrijf wat volledig aansloot bij mijn ambities. Ik heb mijn ervaring met CodeGuild dan ook als zeer positief ervaren en zou ze zeker aanbevelen!

After having moved to Utrecht, I was contemplating making a career move as well. I wanted to tackle a new challenge as a software engineer.As with any job search, it was a daunting undertaking. However, after coming across CodeGuild, the task became easier.With a thorough initial intake over the phone, they built up a tailored profile of me to get a better understanding of what I found most ideal. Once the interviews were arranged, I could rest a little easier knowing that CodeGuild was able to provide me with relevant information on each potential employer to bolster my chances of success.It is with great thanks to Serge Warbout at CodeGuild that I have secured a new role as a Cloud Consultant, a role that was my desired first choice among several great options.

I contacted codeguild a while ago to help me with my next Javascript engineering challenge around Amsterdam. From their site and reviews they looked like very professional recruiters and i was not wrong. In about 2 weeks i had a couple interviews at a variety of big tech companies and got a good offer pretty soon thereafter.They guided, prepared me for the interviews and helped with the final negotiations. The recruiters are professional, friendly and always there for help, feedback and questions. Definitely recommend them if you're looking the next engineering challenge.

I was looking for a role as a senior Scala developer in Amsterdam/Utrecht region.I was specifically looking to apply for one company through CodeGuild, but in the initial interview they also presented me with a couple of other options for companies which would be a good fit for me.They were very friendly, helpful and supportive, without being pushy. There was targeted help with prep for the interviews/assessments which was specific to each company, and they enabled me to give the best account for myself (definitely better than if I'd been preparing on my own).In the end I accepted an offer from one of the companies they presented me with instead of the original company I had in mind. It's an exciting challenge I'm looking forward to starting, and I never would have heard of the opportunity without CodeGuild.Can wholeheartedly recommend!

I am Golang software engineer from Brazil. For a significant amount of time, I was looking for a big step in my career, I wanted to find a "perfect" company in terms of challenges, and I wanted to move to Amsterdam. However, I was extremely pessimistic about how hard it would be for me to find such a position. Finally, when I was about to give up, I found Sven from CodeGuild, an extraordinarily communicative and supportive guy. Not only did he help me to find good companies, but he also shared his experiences and encouraged me to keep trying. Well, I landed a job within two months!His work didn't stop there. He was also willing to help me relocate and adjust to Dutch society. I can't recommend this guy enough, a truly exceptional professional.

Codeguild helped me find a Senior Software Developer role in Amsterdam.They operate like a chess player that understands the game and the business.It’s all about making the right move and not regretting it. If you, the candidate, or if you, the company, found a good opportunity then the guild helps you to find a better one.You get to talk about your limitations, your best qualities and about what you’re really looking for. They have a sensor that gets activated during conversations and you get immediate suggestions if anything would be a wrong fit.Roy, Serge and Robert are trained members who understand the technical domain, who know - like a coach - what questions to ask and when. The collaboration with them is a journey that walks through all aspects of a job and you get the right questions at the right moments.

I struggled for a while filtering through all the recruiters that were there to help me with nothing. But then I discovered CodeGuild and a guy named Roy. He tries to understand what is your desire for the next step in your career and find the best opportunity. He guides you through the whole interview process and is there for you to answer all of your questions.Many thanks to Roy Schaper and CodeGuild for being professional and accurate!

I would highly recommend CodeGuild to anyone who is looking for interesting opportunities.Their email about vacancies are very detailed and gives you a very good picture of what the actual role is about.I would like to thank Roy Schaper for the incredible support through out the process. Unlike other recruiters, Roy followed up with me before and after each round of interview. He is very responsive and guided me with valuable tips for the entire process.He had a clear understanding of what the role demands and what the employers were looking for, this is a rare trait I see in most recruiters.If you are on a job hunt or looking for interesting role, don't hesitate to collaborate with them.
