Johan Grootscholten (1965),
Managing Partner/Senior Consultant

Passion for the Agribusiness and especially for the greenhouse agriculture is my second nature. I grew up between the vegetables, close to the Westland. When I finished my study in Wageningen I started working for employers and suppliers in this sector and it has been like this my whole career.

Career

  • Eight years as manager at advisory office Delphy (former DLV Plant).
    Important aspects: utilising qualities and skills from employees, being really committed, uncovering potential, utilising team functions and determining synergy advantages within a team.
  • Nine years as a Marketing & Sales Manager at Asepta, Certis Europe and Rockwool Grodan.
    Important aspects: Exploring (international) markets, obtaining insights in products and services which are needed for customers’ desires. These insights help me to find out what a client’s personal needs are, which considerably increases the chance of finding and providing the suitable candidate.
  • Meanwhile I have gained a lot of experience in Recruitment & Selection. I personally think the most important lesson to be learned is: recruitment is something you do together with candidate, client and partner. Keeping each other sharp, sharing successes and setbacks. Enabling the perfect match together.

Culture
In several organisations I have experienced the advantages and disadvantages of variable cultures, both in organisations and in countries and regions. Culture is a very important and often underestimated factor when choosing a new job.

Focus on Agribusiness
As a managing partner of Green Career Consult my focus is on the Agribusiness, especially on companies and candidates involved in (greenhouse) horticulture and agriculture, both nationally and internationally..
My points of focus are: executive search, sales functions, (cultivating&growing) technical advisor, general and relation management, business development and international Farm and/or location managers

I’m looking forward to meeting you as either candidate or client.
