"The BOVIB plays a central role in safeguarding quality and transparency in the world of corporate hiring. As a discussion partner of, among others, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment (SZW), the Tax Authorities (Belastingdienst) and other policymakers in The Hague, the BOVIB stands close to the source where agreements are made that are decisive for our sector," said Martin.

Martin's joining aligns seamlessly with Circle8's vision of the labor market of the future. Martin: “We believe in Total Talent Flow: sustainably keeping talent in motion. Circle8 finds the right talent and the assignments that fit, ensures engagement with professionals, partners and clients, and provides room for growth, development and internal mobility. By building a continuous flow of talent, we contribute to lasting progress for individuals and organizations. But Total Talent Flow goes beyond just placement.

It also calls for a vision of the labour market as a whole. A healthy labour market is constantly in motion, with room for development, flexibility and security. Circle8 wants to play an active role in that, together with the business community and policymakers. We must continue to think about how we keep people employed, how we effectively match supply and demand, and how we make responsible choices when it comes to topics such as retraining, labour mobility, pay, the balance between permanent and flexible contracts, and combating sham arrangements and exploitation.”

With Martin's involvement on the BOVIB board, Circle8's vision gains a voice at the table at the level where policy, regulation and industry agreements are made. This way we contribute to a fairer, more professional and future-proof labour market.
