Success stories from our people

At Pauwels Consulting, I truly feel heard. The freedom and support to grow motivates me greatly. The focus on 'growth' is essential for me, and Pauwels provides ample learning and development opportunities. This enables me to strengthen my project management skills (and people skills) in the dynamic environment of a major player in the pharmaceutical industry.

The work environment is warm, the colleagues are amazing, and being part of this big family makes the experience even more rewarding! And the real perk? As a Life Sciences consultant for a client, I get to enjoy the best of both worlds, celebrating two end-of-year parties instead of one.

I used to think recruitment was only for people with an HR degree. Turns out, my experience in another field gave me the perfect foundation. I’ve never felt more at home in a job.

HR & Talent Consultant

Starting my career here straight after university, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I just knew I wanted to do work that felt real and human. From day one, I was trusted with responsibility, supported by kind people, and constantly learning. It has been the perfect place to grow without losing myself.
