Valerie Jacob<\/a> and Steven Schoovaerts<\/a> started last month as new Spikees. We were curious about their first impression and work experience at Spikes.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Hey Valerie & Steven, you have not been working at Spikes for very long, what was it like to start here?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steven:<\/strong> I felt very welcome from day 1. There was a nice welcome and a great atmosphere. It immediately gave me a good feeling.<\/p>\n

Valerie<\/strong>: I share the same experience as Steven. For me as a school leaver, Spikes is my first work experience. I was received very warmly by both my team and the other colleagues. In addition, I get help from all sides to further familiarize myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you briefly explain what your jobs entail?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steven:<\/strong> I am a Customer Success Manager. My main task is to build and maintain a customer relationship. It mainly concerns the long-term relationships. Together we look at what needs there are in the IT field and translate the technical information into the human understanding in order to achieve a good match. The goal is to let the customer work (together) successfully and keep them satisfied.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Valerie:<\/strong> I am a Junior support employee. This means that I work at the service desk and offer support to customers who experience IT problems.<\/p>\n

Why did you choose Spikes as an employer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steven:<\/strong>I was consciously looking for a company that focuses on humanity and cooperation. In addition, I spoke about Spikes with a friend and he said that there are a lot of great “dudes” working at Spikes and that the CEO<\/a> is also a wonderful chap. Spikes indeed does what it promises and ensures that people work together with enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

Valerie:<\/strong>For my first work experience I was looking for a job with a lot of future prospects and opportunities. That is why I chose the IT sector. Because I had no background in this field and still had a lot to learn, the support employee was the perfect opportunity. As I started researching more about Spikes and looked at the website<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and LinkedIn<\/a>, I became more and more enthusiastic. This enthusiasm was only confirmed during the job interviews with Juan<\/a>, Christophe<\/a>, Axel<\/a>\u2026 At Spikes it is not only a sales pitch, but the human aspect is effectively reflected in the corporate culture. In short, the sector, opportunities and corporate culture really appealed to me.<\/p>\n

How does Spikes stand out for you as an employer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steven:<\/strong>At Spikes, “humanity” is in the DNA. The company does not follow a script, but this comes from the people themselves. It effectively ensures that people work together with enthusiasm every day<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Valerie: <\/strong>Spikes tries to take into account what you like to do and where you want to grow.<\/p>\n

What are you looking forward to in the future at Spikes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steven<\/strong>: Give the Customer Success Management, together with Axel and Alexander<\/a>, more shape and structure and go “full steam ahead”.<\/p>\n

Valerie<\/strong>: I hope to learn a lot more and that I can support my team so that Spikes can grow further.<\/p>\n

What do you enjoy in your work life and what do you want to achieve professionally in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steven: <\/strong>Achieving goals together gives me great satisfaction. In addition, working together with pleasure and making customers happy are also very important.<\/p>\n

Valerie:<\/strong>As a team player I also get a lot of satisfaction from working together, growing together and achieving results.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you Valerie & Steven for the interesting interview. We wish you a lot of success & enthusiasm as Spikees!<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
