Sophie Looman - Teamlead Hospitality / Retail
From a young age, I’ve had a deep passion for travel and discovering new people and cultures — a passion that naturally led me to pursue a degree at the Hotel Management School in Leeuwarden. After completing my graduation internship in Washington D.C., I began my career at Independent Recruiters, where I’ve been working with great pleasure for over six years.
Today, I lead a team of recruitment consultants across our specialized labels: Hospitality, Facility, and Retail. I provide daily coaching, guidance, and the tools my team needs to be successful in a fast-paced and ever-changing market.
In addition to my leadership responsibilities, I am actively involved in key account management and business development, building and strengthening long-term partnerships with leading organizations both nationally and internationally. I also manage my own portfolio of strategic and operational vacancies — from hotel and facility management roles to retail, office support, and commercial positions in sales & marketing.
With a strong foundation in hospitality, a passion for people, and a keen eye for talent, I work closely with my team to create meaningful and lasting matches between candidates and clients.
