About Jérémie
Jérémie is a Drupal developer who has been freelancing for the entirety of his career, which has lasted 18 years so far. After graduating he started working as a PHP developer, but for the last decade he has focused entirely on Drupal and used his expertise to undertake work for organisations such as the European Commission and the government of Belgium. After his last contract finished, we spotted that Jérémie had posted on LinkedIn to announce he was open to new positions and we got in touch.
The Requirement
We were looking for a Drupal developer to work for Leiedal, the interlocal association for regional development in South-West Flanders. One of the main things the client was looking for was a quick hire, so we were searching for talented candidates who were able to start quickly, and Jérémie matched these requirements perfectly.
After we contacted him, we were able to validate that Jérémie was qualified, skilled and had everything we were looking for. Within two days, we were able to offer him an interview with the client, and after discussing his abilities and experience, Leiedal decided they wanted to take him on. Less than a week after originally contacting him, we were able to offer him the position and get the contract started.

OUR APPROACH
The contract, which is scheduled to last until July 2022, has progressed well since Jérémie started. He prefers to work autonomously, so we check up once a month but other than that he is left to the work. He praised the fact we respond to any issues quickly – within the same day – and that we are more reactive than other recruitment agencies.
He was also impressed from the start by our sector knowledge. In Jérémie’s experience, a lot of recruiters get in touch with him with contracts that require working in computing languages such as Java. However, Jérémie is a Drupal developer and would not be interested in those jobs. He found that we understood straight away what he was looking for, and was happy we only offered him a contract he would be qualified to do as well as interested in.
