The first time I met Max from Port of Opportunities, I was impressed by the drive and intrinsic motivation of this young professional. Together with his colleagues, Max has a clear mission; to help newcomers find meaningful employment in the port of Rotterdam. Personally, I firmly belief that ‘purpose in life’ is key to happy living and having a meaningful job surely contributes to this. We all want to get up every morning and do something that matters!

Also, as an HR / recruitment professional at Ducor Petrochemicals, I encounter the challenges of a tight labor market every single day. Talent is scarce, especially technical talent. At the same time, there are so many qualified, knowledgeable, and motivated people who can’t wait to start their career in the port of Rotterdam. Therefore, I would like to encourage all HR & business professionals to look beyond potential language barriers and set aside biases.

Reach out to Max or one of his colleagues and investigate the possibilities to welcome a newcomer to your team!
