Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with Olga Kononova/HR Consulting Services on a number of occasions and have found Olga highly professional and knowledgeable in the field of HR. She has the perfect ability to match skills to a job description and to match a person to their perfect job. Our company has had to look for the candidates with some very particular skills which were hard to find. Through her experience and knowledge of the job market, Olga has always been able to come up with several suitable candidates from which we eventually found some who we went on to hire. Her ability to deliver a qualified list of candidates saved us a great deal of time. To work with I found Olga to be personable, honest and practical and would highly recommend her to anybody.

I have known Olga Kononova since she was working under my supervision as HR Manager at Mechel Service Global BV. After she started her own company she helped us with employee immigration issues. During her work at our company Olga Kononova successfully and properly fulfilled her job and demonstrated the skills necessary to tackle the tasks assigned to her. She has a good knowledge of labour and immigration law and knows how to work with information of a confidential nature. I consider that her communicative, negotiation, interpersonal and counselling skills are excellent. She can communicate perfectly with employees of different levels. She was a great asset to this company, having done much of HR work in our Dutch office starting from scratch, and in building our local team. I highly recommend her for collaboration. Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Olga helped me twice when I was looking for a job in Holland. First time it was in 2009 when I just moved to the Netherlands and applied for a job to the company where Olga was an HR Manager. I was a bit nervous as it was my first job interview in a foreign country. But Olga was very friendly and immediately made me feel welcome and explained some peculiarities of employment in Holland. It was very helpful to me. Luckily, the interview was successful and I got the job. In 2013 I was again looking for a job as my company decided to close the office in Holland. And again Olga came to the rescue and helped me to find a job:) She sent my CV to a big international company, helped me to get prepared for the interview and I got that job! I was really happy as it was the job I was dreaming of. I the meantime, I also took part in the career training organized by Olga. I received very clear answers to many employment-related questions which normally raise when a foreigner is trying to settle in a strange country. Olga, thank you very much for everything you have done for me and good luck for your business!

I can warmly recommend HR-consulting as a professional and efficient provider of recruitment services, both for as employer and an employee. As a prospective employee I was offered several suitable opportunities at different companies by HR-consulting. And Olga Kononova-Visser, Director of HR-consulting, gave me excellent advice on the application procedure. After I was successfully employed, our company made use of Olga's services several more times to recruit other suitable stuff. On both occasions I was impressed by the efficient way in which she puts employers in touch with professional personnel in the interest of both parties.

I have known Olga for 3 years, and it has always been a pleasure working with her. She is a bright, radiant person, combining the qualities of an excellent professional and a remarkable mentor. All her advice is tailored to the individual and the specific situation. Unlike many other agencies, she offers truly valuable job opportunities. She is highly knowledgeable in both Dutch legislation and specifics, as well as in general employment psychology.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Olga Visser for a very professional job search assistance. When I was working with her, thanks to her proactive approach, personal touch, good time management and attention to details, I felt like a client which is really well taken care of. From the first answer to my mail and until the last interview she tried her outmost to ensure that everything works out fine. Olga was also very helpful in providing me insights in the Dutch employment legislation. I have heard only positive assessments about HR Consulting Services and I have no hesitation in providing my highest recommendations to everyone. It has been a real pleasure to cooperate with HR Consulting Services.

I have worked with HR Consulting Services since 2016 on numerous recruitment activities and in-company trainings. Olga is an expert in recruiting Russian speaking professionals in Europe. Her knowledge of Dutch and European labour market is excellent. She differs from other recruiters with her in-depth practical knowledge of possible issues while helping clients to re-allocate from one town/city/continent to another. Olga have always tried to have a clear understanding of our Company’s business & objectives in order to find the most suitable high calibre candidates. Olga is always attentive to details, easy to work with and willing to respond to any queries that we may have. Moreover Olga is an excellent trainer on soft skills. She have designed and arranged in-company training courses in different areas such as communication skills, time management and team building for our company. Olga is inspiring, energizing and very competent on the subject. I strongly recommend HR Consulting Services if you are looking for a professional recruitment agency of business trainer to work with.

Happy to share the feedback based on our cooperation over the past few years. I had been cooperating with Olga for about 4 years since 2017 in my capacity of Head of Corporate HR at Eurasian Resources Group. We have managed to successfully hire a number of candidates into our head office in Amsterdam, mostly being Russian speaking candidates of various seniority levels across different business functions. Among those there were quite a few ‘mission impossible’ projects we have successfully completed, including finding candidates with very rare profiles considering that we were mainly searching for Russian speaking professionals residing in EU and having a proven track record in specific disciplines across EU. During all this time Olga and her team proved to be very fast and professional. I highly appreciate Olga’s commitment and eagerness to take projects of any complexity, her creative approach together with willingness and ability to go the extra mile. Obviously, I can highly recommend Olga and the team for the customers who need to engage an agency specialized in Russian speaking professionals across EU.

I really enjoyed the job training, although initially, I wasn't sure if I needed it. The latest information on changes in personnel management was important both for me personally and for my current job. The recommendations on how to write a resume and cover letter, as well as the role-playing exercises for interviews, will undoubtedly be useful for my future job search. The atmosphere during the training was wonderful; everyone was eager to share their experiences and listen to others. Everyone had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers. I was also interested in learning about the differences between working in Russian and Dutch companies and receiving practical advice for a productive job search. Thank you very much once again!

Our company works with Olga for more than 9 years and we could recommend HR consulting as a professional provider of recruitment services. Olga has provided us with many candidates and closed more than 12 vacancies, always taking a very specific approach to every single vacancy that was open in our company. Olga has a great knowledge of the Dutch labor market and has always provided us with a very solid choice of candidates for our positions even if there was a very short time for the search. It also worth to say that Olga is very efficient, flexible, responsive, and perfectly adjusting for the company needs professional. We highly recommend HR Consulting Services!

Thanks to Olga, I was able to revive my career in recruitment after a ten-year break from the field. Olga helped me effectively highlight my strengths and extensive work experience in my resume, restructure my cover letter, and prepare for the four stages of interviews with my current employer. Her support and positive attitude, combined with her professionalism, have brought me to the desired point in my career. I am very grateful and highly recommend her to anyone struggling to find their path or the right steps to achieve professional success.

Olga helped me see myself in a new light. She slightly rephrased the wording in my CV, and my professional biography suddenly came to life. I felt incredibly impressive in my own eyes. This gave me strength and confidence. The highest compliment to her professionalism came from my future boss, who said, "If I were looking for a job right now, I would use your resume as a model." Sincere thanks to you, Olga!
