Path to Success in Recruitment: What It Takes to Become a Successful Recruiter with Daan Fokkema and Astri Anggariani | S1E1

Welcome to Progressing Careers Everywhere, a podcast brought to you by Amoria Group.

 

In this series, we explore what life is like for those who work as consultants, from the first weeks of training to the life-changing success stories that can be achieved, all from the people who work in this industry every day.

 

In our very first episode, Daan Fokkema, Director at Amoria Group’s Amsterdam office, is joined by Astri Anggariani, Senior Recruitment Consultant, to unpack what success in recruitment truly looks like.

 

Together, they discuss the mindset, habits, and resilience needed to thrive - from navigating early challenges and handling objections, to building trust with clients and candidates and thinking long-term about career growth.

 

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

 

• What it’s really like starting out in recruitment with no prior experience
• How Astri’s definition of “success” has evolved over time
• The habits and mindset traits that help recruiters thrive long-term
• Overcoming objections, rejection, and tough early challenges
• Finding confidence through consistency, curiosity, and self-reflection
• Practical advice for anyone starting - or considering - a career in recruitment
