Growing Together with a Focus on Talent Development

Here’s the revised translation, reflecting that Byner is the platform provider and Welten is the client. The language has been updated to clearly distinguish the two entities:

Growing Together with a Focus on Talent Development

Read the Best Practice

About Welten
Welten is a leading staffing firm that focuses 100% on companies in the financial sector, such as banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment firms, and Fintech startups. They not only recruit and select fresh, energetic professionals, but also offer ongoing training and support to their clients throughout every stage of the HR process. With this approach, Welten helps its clients improve adaptability, flexibility, and create workplaces that inspire.

Focus on Talent Development
Welten goes beyond simply placing financial professionals with clients. They are the only financial staffing agency in the Netherlands that both mediates and trains its professionals in-house, through their own training platform with customized content.

In-house Training Center
Welten operates its own training company, Dukers & Baelemans, which provides professionals with unlimited and free access to various relevant professional courses, including all required Wft diplomas. Additionally, their program offers training to develop and strengthen skills and personal abilities.

A Personal Coach
Each professional at Welten has a personal coach who guides them throughout their career. Together, they map out career paths, focusing on individual preferences, ambitions, and goals. These coaches support professionals throughout their entire journey. Thanks to this focus on development, professionals grow rapidly and effectively. As they progress, their assignments grow with them, offering continuous challenges and new perspectives.

Work-Life Balance
“To make a real impact, it’s important to be present during the key moments of someone’s life. That’s why we believe it’s essential to always be there for our professionals,” explains Heidi Scholtens, Commercial Director of Welten Group Staffing. They build close relationships with their team members to ensure they can provide the best support. Sometimes, that means offering extra training or coaching, while at other times, it’s about giving individuals the space to step back when personal circumstances require it. Growth is only possible when there’s room to breathe.

Slash Forward Society
Under the motto “Inspiration as a Service,” Welten has created an active community of like-minded professionals who are passionate about the financial sector. Through events, meetings, training sessions, and masterclasses, they inspire each other with their visions, ambitions, choices, and growth. This continuous exchange helps everyone move forward together.

“Everything that gets attention, grows.”

More Engagement, Higher Returns
“One of the key questions we face as a staffing agency is how to ensure that talent remains satisfied and engaged,” says Heidi Scholtens. A focus on talent development plays a crucial role in this. It’s one of the main factors that drive employees to choose and stay with a particular employer. Welten’s approach delivers several key benefits:

• Stronger appeal to new talent
• Better matches through deeper insight
• Satisfied clients who return repeatedly
• Increased satisfaction among professionals
• Reduced absenteeism and turnover
• Enhanced value for clients

With Byner, Welten can optimally manage the growth and development of their clients and professionals.

Everything on One Platform
To support professionals comprehensively, Welten recognized the need for innovative technology. That’s why they chose to switch to Byner several years ago. Byner’s end-to-end platform facilitates all core processes surrounding client and talent management. From lead generation and client request handling to talent recruitment. From matching the right professional with the right assignment to ongoing guidance and invoicing.

This offers several key advantages:

• All information about clients and professionals is centralized in one location. Everyone has access to the same real-time data.
• Processes are streamlined and automated wherever possible, ensuring that nothing is overlooked, no one does double work, and everything happens on time.
• This allows Welten’s internal teams to focus on what they do best: driving growth for their clients and professionals.

Heidi Scholtens: “Everything that gets attention grows. Byner helps us structure our processes so that our clients and professionals get the attention they deserve. The automated workflows and marketing automations reduce the burden on our internal teams. We continuously enrich our client and talent profiles, keeping all data up-to-date with minimal effort. This means we can always deliver the right message or take the right action at the right time.”

Integration with Rakoo
To support education and talent development, Welten also uses Rakoo. “Rakoo is an online academy for learning and performance management, where we handle everything related to professional education. Since Rakoo is seamlessly integrated with Byner, all knowledge and information about training and certifications are stored in one place. This provides a wealth of possibilities—not just for keeping profiles and compliance up-to-date but also for making personal connections. For instance, when a professional earns a new certificate, their coach is immediately notified, making it easy to offer congratulations, discuss expectations, and ambitions—all at the right time.”

Marketing Automation
Byner also makes life easier for internal teams. Automations and workflows are integrated directly into Byner, along with an integration with Jobrock Recruitment Marketing Automation. This automation is used for recruitment but also to support ongoing engagement with talent. For instance, professionals receive automated messages via email, SMS, or WhatsApp, complete with fun videos and visuals. These automations bring efficiency and enjoyment to Welten’s processes.
