What our clients say

Fleur and Paul played a key role in building the foundation of our People Operations during significant growth and change. They led the development of our growth framework, compensation philosophy, employee handbook, and key HR processes - all tailored to our organisation's needs. They were proactive, fast, and brought a deep understanding of people and operations. It was a great partnership, we're well set up for the future.

Fleur guided us in building a strong People Operations foundation. She took the time to deeply understand our company, people and leadership. With her strategic insights and hands-on approach, she helped us identify key priorities, streamline processes and implement impactful initiatives aligned with our vision. Thanks to this collaboration with Fleur & the 7people team, we are well-prepared for sustainable growth and truly appreciate the dedication, expertise and positive energy Fleur brought to our company.

We are very happy with the support provided by the 7people team. We've worked with Florentine, Iris and Eran over the past years. They helped us on complex projects, as well as with day-to-day people operations. They created efficient processes, and delivered several projects. Their 'just do it' mentality, positive attitude, and quality of work are very refreshing.

The feedback workshop had immediate impact: it showed why even well-meant feedback can sound harsh and gave us a structure to stay clear, authentic, and build trust. Huge thanks to Florentine and Sanne for the thoughtful prep and delivery, especially knowing we weren’t the easiest audience. Your attention to detail truly made the difference.

Sanne built a great foundation for People & Culture and acted as a great sparring partner for the leadership team. We loved having her on the team and can highly recommend other startups to work with her and 7people! Thanks so much for your great work

We’ve worked with several of the 7people team members over the past years, on a variety of HR projects. I’m always impressed with the expertise, creativity and professionalism they bring. A great addition to our own team, highly recommended.

Jessie worked with us as interim Head of People and made an enormous impact during that time. From day one, she built the People department from the ground up with unmatched energy and dedication. In addition to building the People department, her contribution to the sessions with the management team was not only valuable but also inspiring. Her sharp insights and the courage to go against the grain meant she always engaged in the conversation, asking critical questions and offering a fresh perspective. Jessie is warm, involved, pro-active and a wonderful person to work with.

The 7people team stepped in to build our very first growth and salary framework and our performance process. It was uniquely tailor-made to our company goals and employee needs, with a creative wink to everything food-related so it matches our brand. When they wrapped up the assignment Yara even stayed almost a year longer as our fractional Head of People to guide and develop our people team and navigate us on HR-related matters. It was a great addition to our team we are very happy they set our new Head of People up for success.

An amazing 10-month journey of building, creating, and growing HR together. Eva became the heartbeat of our People Operations: streamlining Hibob, onboarding and offboarding, first contact for iwell'ers and driving projects like Cybersecurity and SLIM. Florentine brought a lot of creativity: she set up Notion as our shared workspace with the iwell Academy, teamspaces, the new Handbook and she did several 'on the side' projects. She aligned our way of working, and turned vision into reality - bringing everyone along. Thank you for the impact!

Florentine did an outstanding job supporting Fixico during our Head of People’s maternity leave. From day one, she proved to be a true self-starter—taking initiative, solving problems independently, and ensuring our HR processes continued to run smoothly. She blended into the team effortlessly, and her energy and approachability were felt across the organisation.

Iris ran the HR ops and helped the People Team with getting some important HR projects going. Apart from the great work she’s delivered these past few months, Iris was a blast to have around – very positive energy, always approachable and engaged. She quickly got a good sense of the dynamics within the organization, wasn’t afraid to bring in new ideas, and made clear improvements to several processes. Iris was a great fit for the team, and we truly hope to work with her again in the future.

7people helped to redesign our performance management process. It’s now modern, practical, and tailored to how we work. Beyond that, they brought deep HR expertise, won over managers and employees with charisma and candor, and delivered high-energy support as an Interim HRBP. Trusted partner, sharp thinker, great execution.

Jessie brought such a positive, resourceful and pragmatic attitude, which was really needed at a time of change. She quickly built and delivered real value to our leaders through confident and skilled people business partnering. She also provided me with a safe space and sounding board to help me execute a team change. The assignment showed that 7people can add as much value in real practical interim people work as much as big set projects. It was a joy to work with Jessie and we miss her and her contributions already!

Eran was absolutely essential in building our new People team, supporting recruitment, and getting our HRIS system up and running. Eran always asked high quality questions, shared thoughtful advice, and was proactive in spotting potential risks. On top of that, he was always approachable, ready to jump into a challenge, and bring such great energy to the team. Eran's fresh perspective and support for junior team members made a real difference and every time we were working together directly I knew that we could handle it together and bounce off each other which was great synergy and teamwork.

7people was really the perfect match for us at the stage the company was at. They delivered across the board, from strategic people & culture topics to implementing our HRIS, to very HR-specific stuff on hiring and firing people, to helping out with very operational things. Nothing was too big/small. Claire was always reachable and flexible with her time, and super reliable. She is very positive and energetic. I could just hand over the problem/question/task, and she would take care of it. They also helped us hire our new Head of People, which was great.

We worked with 7people to set up our people processes. As a duo, Iris and Paul brought a balance of creativity, experience and professionalism that ensured the project’s success. I particularly appreciated their ability to listen and really understand our needs. Their combined efforts created a strong foundation for scaling MyEdSpace from a people perspective.

Together with 7people we created a compensation philosophy, career levelling framework and redesigned our yearly growth and performance cycle. They kept a high pace, but also delivered high quality and also important: we had fun while doing it. We are very happy with the result and are eager to start working with our new tools.

We have had a fantastic collaboration with 7people. They led the implementation of our very first HRIS. In doing so, they digitized and sustainably established many of our HR processes. Judith also created our employee handbook: a challenging project given the 16 countries we operate in (including 16 different laws and regulations!). It was a valuable partnership, and the result exceeded our expectations. We will not hesitate to work with Ingeborg and her team again for every upcoming HR project: 7people rocks!

7people joined us during challenging times and guided the company on both strategic and operational people topics. Flo and Yara restructured and improved our people processes to set us up for future success. I am impressed with their fast and factual analysis, the strategic approach they took, and their positive power of execution. I’d love to work with them next time!

The 7people team supported Vitestro with improving our employer branding. We are really happy with the advice we received, the social media calendar, the new job advertisements, and the updated Recruitee page. It looks great, thank you!

7people took care of HR, both operational and strategic, for almost a year. Claire and Janne have been really fantastic. Full of knowledge and experience, and a great communication style that made the working relationship easy. Always professional despite dealing with some difficult situations and staff, with a great sense of humour!

Sanne worked for almost 2 years as our Head of People. She built the full P&C function, guiding our management to make the right design and implementation questions. Together with Fleur, she later also guided the organisational merge with our sister company in France. We are very impressed by the knowledge as well as the perseverance of Sanne and Fleur.

Paul joined our team as interim HR Business Partner and immediately added value. He's a great colleague who listens well and quickly connects with the rest of the team. He also worked very independently, with a focus on progress and results. In a relatively short time he finished an important project, and I highly recommend working with him

The 7people team referred excellent candidates for HRBP and senior TA profiles to us in a short period of time, resulting in 2 appointments. We are really impressed by the quality of candidates and the great fit for our company.

Simone did a tremendous job in developing the People & Culture department at myTomorrows. In 6 months, she made an impressive impact, by creating and implementing company values, creating a learning & development framework, choosing and implementing a new HRIS, and building a career & growth framework. 7people also helped with the search for our new Head of People & Culture, presenting us with very high-quality candidates. I would recommend 7people to any growing organization that wants to bring its People and Culture department to the next level!

We appointed a new CPO at Uberall with the help of 7people. The search was successfully concluded, additionally Ingeborg was great to work with and supported us with a number of HR questions along the way.

At a critical growth stage with our company hiring the right people was of the utmost importance. They guided us through the whole hiring process and set up our people strategy. Because of this, we were able to secure unique talents who trusted our company and felt our message. Ingeborg and her team bring so much invaluable experience. We continue to work with 7people as our People & Culture advisor and help us become one of Amsterdam's most desirable places to work

As a law firm in the Netherlands, we immediately experienced the added value of Yara and Iris. In an interactive and inclusive way, Yara helped us define our unique company values and the structure of our back office. Based on these values, she delivered our people strategy and growth & performance program. Together with Iris, she brought our employer branding story forward which resulted in attracting multiple new colleagues. This enabled us to grow! It was a pleasure to work with them, as it helped us professionally and we had a blast.

Romara and Ingeborg made a big impact on the growth and culture at Payaut. They helped us build a professional and fun environment, and because of their advice we are better able to attract and retain top talent. Ingeborg initially helped us with strategic advice and building part of our HR foundation, Romara stayed with us for years - all the way to our exit. She was a real part of the team, and ensured HR was smooth and welcoming. Their part-time HR solution was ideal for us.

For a period of 6 months Romara has done a tremendous job supporting us with HR tasks during the maternity leave of our HR Manager. And doing these tasks with a super positive mindset, it’s contagious! It really was a pleasure to work with Romara, we wish her best of luck with her upcoming projects!

Ingeborg was our interim Head of People for a period of 7 months. During her time with us, she managed to finish and implement a number of projects that we were thinking about for years. So really kudos for getting all this done!

Ingeborg helped us create a professional and fun-loving People Strategy to enable our further growth. She helped us evolve into a desirable place to work with people at the heart of our organization. With an eye for talent acquisition, she also helped us find our new Head of People & Culture. At this stage we still rely on Ingeborg as a valuable advisor and continue to work with 7people.

Yara joined us in early 2023 as interim VP of People, temporarily stepping into that role while we searched for a replacement. She not only helped keep the company on track, but she proactively identified, worked on, and delivered substantial improvements to our business. It's been a true pleasure working with Yara.

7people helped us for 6 months to cover a maternity leave as People & Culture Director. We could not wish for a better “stand-in”. We were in a turbulent phase and she brought the right questions and critical points to the table. Judith was part of the team since the day she started and kept this connection & commitment until the very last minute. Steering the P&C team, taking a seat in the Leadership Team and guiding projects. Judith is the perfect helper if you need more structure, vision & clarity. She helped us take the next steps in our growth/change process.

We had a fantastic collaboration with Iris, who was with us for 3 months. She fit into the culture of our company from day one, so it felt like she had been working for us for much longer. Iris was a great sparring partner on People & Culture topics (for example Compensation & Benefits) and was able to improve some of the operational processes. She also helped us to recruit our new People & Culture Advisor! It was a nice cooperation in which we could also use the knowledge of 7people and we definitely recommend Iris as a talented People & Culture colleague!

I really enjoyed working with Yara during her time at Scribbr. She is a real team player! We were able to tackle a lot of projects in a short time span and I very much enjoyed her positivity and growth mindset. Also, the open communication, honest feedback and good questions. She works hard, and that shows. Due to Yara we made strategic decisions for our teams to transition. It was a pleasure working together.

We have had a great collaboration with 7people. Judith, amongst other projects, led the implementation of our growth and development cycle which started with the preparation of job profiles and ended with a full flash annual growth cycle being explained to the entire company. It was a valuable partnership of which the result exceeded our expectations. We hope to work together with 7people in the future as well!

The past 5 months the 7people team helped us with some challenging and much needed HR projects such as running people operations under difficult circumstances, guidance on employee cases, creating a new employee handbook/processes and most importantly helping us structure for the future. Thanks to both Iris and Ingeborg we are now better equipped and have a better People & Culture structure in place. It's been an absolute pleasure. If there's something strange in your P&C organisation, who you gonna call?

The 7people team supported us with building a professional, efficient and attractive people foundation. Sanne and Yara became part of our team, and helped us to establish ways of working, define our values, built the HR system and designed our growth framework. They also recruited our Head of People, handing over at the end of their assignment to our new internal people team. The result of our work together was much better than anything we could have accomplished on our own. Fun ánd professional to work with, we'd have them back in a heartbeat.

Ingeborg created a professional and refreshing 'people' function from scratch. She knows how to shape a performance driven culture based on strong employee engagement and has put Mollie on the map as an attractive employer. She can add a lot of value to organizations that really want to make progress by offering new perspectives and concrete solutions.
