How can I contact a recruiter?
In the assignments overview, the assignments can be clicked on for more information. As soon as you click on an assignment, the assignment details are displayed. On the right side of the assignment details, you will find the contact details of the recruiter who has the client in his/her portfolio. The displayed contact details can be used to get in touch with the recruiter.
It is possible that the recruiter is engaged in a conversation; in that case, send a message/sms, leave a voicemail, or send an email. Of course, you can also call again later. Our recruiters do their best to provide everyone with an answer to questions as quickly as possible.
As a DGA looking for assignments
You cannot offer yourself as an employee from a BV as a DGA on a project. However, you can present yourself as an independent professional. In this latter case, you need to create a Striive account as an independent professional and respond to a project from that entity.
