The HRHelp Approach

Our core values shape how we run the business every day.

Transparency

No hidden fees, no ghosting. We keep communication channels open and honest at every step of the journey.

Empathy

We look beyond the resume. Understanding the human behind the candidate and the culture behind the company.

Speed

The business world moves fast, and so do we. Our agile processes are designed to keep pace with rapid growth.

Strategic Insight

Data-driven decisions that put people first. We combine analytics with intuition for the perfect match.

Our Evolution

From a vision to a specialized network of experts.

  1. 2019

    The Spark

    Founded by two HR veterans who recognized a critical gap: international companies in the Netherlands lacked the specialized, high-touch support needed to navigate local complexity.

  2. 2021

    The Network Evolution

    Transitioned to a boutique network organisation. By collaborating with top-tier specialists across employment law, payroll, and talent strategy, we deliver elite expertise without the overhead of big-box firms.

  3. 2025

    Strategic Partnership

    Today, we serve as the trusted HR partner for modern enterprises, bridging the gap between global strategy and local Dutch compliance.

Meet the Founder

Cornelis Leerlooijer

"I saw first-hand how international companies struggled with the rigid nature of Dutch HR. We founded HRHelp.nl to provide a bridge: clear, strategic, and deeply localized support."

With over two decades of experience in international HR, Cornelis built HRHelp.nl as an alternative to the traditional corporate consultancy model. He believes in direct access to senior expertise, full transparency, and results that make a real difference to your business.

The Best of Both Worlds

We are a Network Organization. This means you get the intimacy and dedication of a boutique firm, backed by the comprehensive expertise of a large enterprise.

By working with a selected network of partners, we make sure every challenge, from complex litigation to fast-growth hiring, is handled by a specialist in that field.

Legal & Compliance

Expert Dutch employment law counsel for complex contracts and restructuring.

Payroll & Benefits

Close cooperation with specialized Dutch payroll providers.

Talent Strategy

Behavioral psychologists and niche headhunters for critical hires.

Risk Management

Insurance and health safety specialists ensuring workplace compliance.
