About
TwinTalent was born from a clear conviction: the way we work and lead is ready for renewal.
After years in executive search, founder Ireen Kars saw roles become ever more complex, while organisations struggled to find and retain senior talent. At the same time, traditional working models fitted less and less with the lives and ambitions of experienced professionals. The result: valuable talent disappears from view, precisely in the positions where it is needed most.
Her answer: job sharing. It is an internationally proven model, with countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom and Switzerland already leading the way. It lets organisations design roles differently and deploy talent sustainably.
Two professionals, one role. That brings complementary expertise, greater continuity and access to talent that stays out of sight in traditional models. From specialist and management roles all the way up to executive and board positions.
Our ambition: to make job sharing at the highest level a matter of course in the Netherlands.
TwinTalent supports organisations throughout the entire journey, from strategy and role design to matching, implementation and embedding. We combine experience in executive search with expertise in HR, technology, job sharing and organisational development. That is how we help organisations retain talent, enable growth and build leadership that is fit for the future.
