Background

In episode 63 of the BlackBird podcast, host Andy Coomans talks with couple-entrepreneurs Dirk Colman and Anja Warrot, both former finance executives who moved into recruitment. They built Van A naar Beter from a Dutch franchise concept (started 2013, independent from 1 January 2017) into an organically grown SME with 10 employees, housed in a renovated former NMBS railway station that acted as their biggest marketing asset. Facing the war for talent, a doubling in the number of client conversations needed per hire, and heavy consolidation in the recruitment market, they abandoned a diversification plan and instead sold the company to Select Group  -  a deal closed in just two months, chosen largely on cultural fit and guarantees for their people. They candidly describe the emotional side of 'selling your baby', announcing the sale to the team, and the integration period. Today they've returned to their financial roots with Cobiz, supporting entrepreneurs with financial questions.
