About Us

Founded by Paul Sanders and Barry Creemers (who would have guessed), Sanders & Creemers was their way of taking years of experience working for an international recruitment organisation and combining it with their passion for setting up new, personal connections and setting a high standard for the delivery of work.

The niche focus the agency has on IT and Digital markets gives it an added edge and help ensure quick matches between candidate and client.

Paul Sanders

After finishing my MSc Business Administration in Utrecht I started my career as a freelancer within the event sector, which evolved into working for an international recruitment company. A few years later, I was still itching to start my own business. And in my then-colleague Barry, I found the perfect partner to do so.

We both value long-term relationships, transparency, and flexibility, so the match was made pretty quickly. Besides work, I like playing golf, watching a good football match or grabbing a beer with friends.

Barry Creemers

I was born and raised in Amsterdam, yet I still went off to study at the Hotel Management School in Maastricht. After obtaining my degree I started working at an international recruitment agency, and did so for 5.5 years before starting my own business together with Paul. One thing that we share is our love for personal, transparent, and long-lasting partnerships.

On a more private note, I love going out for dinner with family and friends. I also like to work out, watch football, or play a round of golf.

Niels Zuidinga

My name is Niels and I’m part of Sanders & Creemers. After studying at the Hotel Management School Maastricht, I moved to the most vibrant city in the Netherlands (Amsterdam) to start a beautiful career in recruitment.

What distinguishes me from others, is that I am loyal, have a great listening ear, and am always eager to help. Besides spending my days at the office, you can also find me at the gym, drinking some craft beers with my friends, or cooking in the kitchen (or letting someone else do it for me).

Jason Howes

Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. I completed my honours in Marketing in 2018. I recently moved to The Netherlands in early 2023 to join Sanders & Creemers and I haven’t looked back.

At Sanders & Creemers I can use my experience to help both our clients and candidates find the right match, but also further develop the market and network within Sanders & Creemers. My key pillars to do so are honesty, long term relationships and straightforward communication.

On a personal note, when not in the office you can find me in the gym or on the football pitch.

Hi, I’m Elsa. After finishing my Translation and Interpreting studies in Italy, I decided to move to the Netherlands, settling in Amsterdam. In August 2022, I joined Sanders & Creemers and started my career in the world of recruitment.

I am a hard worker, good listener, and I always try to bring my best. That does not mean that I am not up for a good laugh. Outside of work I enjoy a nice chat over drinks, and exploring new areas of Amsterdam.

Jari Gänshirt

My name is Jari. I was born and raised in Bali, Indonesia but graduated from Hotelschool The Hague. After my studies I found myself back home in Bali due to COVID-19. When the situation finally changed for the better, I moved back to Amsterdam and made the great decision to join Paul and Barry in recruitment.

At Sanders & Creemers I use the skills I learnt in the hospitality industry to consistently provide the best possible service to both clients and candidates. When I’m not busy at the office you can find me either at the gym, or at the local pub drinking a beer.

Tjeu Pijl

My name is Tjeu and I recently joined the team. Like many colleagues, I graduated from the Hotel Management School in Maastricht.

I find it essential that everyone is valued for themselves and feel that personal relationships are very important. These values are reflected in my work, which is why Sanders & Creemers was the perfect match. Outside of work I also value personal relationships, hence why you can always call me to have a beer or a bite to eat.

Ruben Hazeleger

Originating from the coastal city of Haarlem, I set out to explore new horizons, attracted by the Burgundian lifestyle in the sunny regions of the Netherlands. My educational ambitions led me to the Hotel School of Maastricht, where I immersed myself in hospitality and mastered the art of attentive listening and providing service.

Olivia Salicath

I’m a Norwegian/German born and mostly raised in Norway, but after finishing my Masters here in Amsterdam I wasn’t quite ready to leave this city, and as a result I found recruitment. I value the personal connections this profession allows you to build and the contribution I can make to both someone’s team as well as an individual’s career. After 1.5 years of working for a large international recruitment organisation I decided that I wanted to be part of a company that aligned more with my own ambitions and I’m excited to continue connecting people in the IT industry and be a transparent recruitment partner here at Sanders & Creemers.

On a personal note I am all about embracing the adventures life throws at you – whether that is diving into a new book, exploring a city or trying a new hobby.

Sep Smits

Hello, my name is Sep and after finishing my Bachelor and Master in Groningen, I was looking for a new challenge in Amsterdam. Through mutual friends I came into contact with Sanders & Creemers and after a conversation with Barry and Paul I was immediately convinced. The informal atmosphere and the personal approach appealed to me enormously and were ultimately the deciding factor for me to start my career here.

To this day, I enjoy working here and in my spare time I like to play soccer, run or play gym. I also get a lot of energy from the people around me and enjoy meeting up with friends and family.

Erin Buirski

Heya, it’s Erin! Originally from South Africa, I began my career in international recruitment in 2021 while completing my Honours in Marketing Management. In 2024, I grabbed the opportunity to relocate to Amsterdam which led me to joining the Sanders & Creemers team. My career in recruitment thus far has taught me that strong relationships, clear communication and hard work are key pillars for success.

When I am not at my desk, you will likely find me on a padel court, out for drinks with friends or more recently, exploring all the wild and wonderful parts of my new country!

Sem Verkaik

After completing my International Hotel Management studies in Breda, I moved to the vibrant city of Amsterdam to start my career at Sanders & Creemers. During my studies – and even before that – I always worked in the hospitality industry, where I learned a great deal about guest experience and service. The guest was always at the heart of everything we did. Because of that, I’ve come to value hard work, active listening, and, above all, having fun in what I do.

Sanders and Creemers offered the perfect transition from the hospitality industry to a role where I can combine my passion for hospitality with my personal ambitions and career goals.

Outside of work, you can find me at the gym, relaxing on the couch with a good snack board, or enjoying drinks with friends at a cozy café.

Max van der Aart

Hi, my name is Max, and I recently embarked on a new journey as an IT interim consultant. After completing my bachelor’s degree in International and European Law, I discovered that my passion lies less in treaties and contract review, and more in building meaningful connections. I recently decided to leave my job in media marketing to join the young and dynamic team at Sanders & Creemers. Here, I’m able to combine my people skills, my interest in IT, and my passion for helping others.

I love discovering new places, gaining new experiences, and meeting new people. When I’m not in the office, you’ll probably find me photographing your favorite festival or party. If you see me around, don’t be a stranger-come say hi!

Moos Beijer

Born in Amsterdam, but raised in a small village nearby: Halfweg. After starting my career in the hospitality industry, I decided to pursue my interest in hospitality at the Hotel Management School Maastricht. Here, I learned to combine personal service with genuine interest.

Sam van Stappershoef

Hi, I’m Sam! After completing my Business Administration studies in Breda, I quickly decided to move to Amsterdam. Here, I spent the first 3.5 years in a sales role at a software company.

That’s why I decided to transition into recruitment as of September 1st and join the team at Sanders & Creemers.
