Leiden International Centre Helps ChannelEngine to Grow

In 2022, the International Centre helped more new employees from ChannelEngine than any other company in the region (excluding Leiden University).

Randy Petrus, Manager HR Operations: “Our collaboration with the Leiden International Centre started primarily with the administering of citizen service number (BSN) registrations for new employees. Through them, this is done quickly and efficiently, which is very pleasant. Our newcomers can therefore quickly start working for our customers as a result. A win for everyone."
