You can’t ignore it: it’s tough to find new employees in this market. Many companies struggle to keep their team staffed. Yet, we manage to grow. We’re giving you a little peek behind the curtain to show you how we pull it off.
Exintra is the group name for 3 logistics service providers: HJ Bakker Logistics, DM Logistics, and European Network Logistics. Although the companies differ in content, there’s a big overlap in the type of employees we’re looking for. So, we join forces. And yes, sometimes it takes longer than we’d like to fill a vacancy. But we make it happen. Here’s how.
Internal growth
We believe in our employees’ talents. Whenever possible, we give them the chance to climb the ranks internally. That’s why you’ll meet colleagues in our office who started as truck drivers or warehouse workers.
Activating our network
Many candidates come from our own network. Our employees are excited about their jobs. This encourages their friends and acquaintances to apply too. There’s nothing as reliable as a firsthand story.
Focus on the employee
This starts right from the first introduction. Our director, Sander Bogers, often gives candidates a tour himself to showcase our organization.
Market-aligned employment conditions
This might come as a surprise. But we believe in offering market-aligned employment conditions. We don’t play the game of outbidding each other as employers. You should want to work with us because you like the job and us. If it’s only about the money? Then you’re off as soon as the neighbor offers more. However, good work deserves to be rewarded. So, you’ll get a fitting salary, an excellent pension scheme, and a traditional Christmas hamper. Turns out, most colleagues find that nicer than an anonymous gift voucher.
Flexibility
Our job requires commitment and 100% effort. But we offer you as much freedom as possible to arrange your own working hours. Finished your work early on Friday afternoon and have the weekend shift ahead? Then head off home early.
Quality gear
Whether you’re a driver or in the office, the right equipment makes your job much easier. That’s why we invest heavily in things like modern electric pallet jacks, extra comfy chairs, or life-sized curved monitors.
A distinctive employer?!?
We find it perfectly normal to take good care of our employees. And it’s not always sunshine and rainbows here either. The logistics world is hard work. But we do it with a fantastic team. All pulling together. And that’s exactly what makes it great to work here. Or as driver Mustafa recently said, “Why would I ever want to leave? Some colleagues try but end up coming back. It’s just better here. The colleagues are great, everyone helps each other out, and our employer really looks after us. If it continues like this, I want to work here for years to come!”
