INRALS is aware that it is essential to handle and secure the personal details of candidates, flex workers, employees, and other relations and visitors with the greatest possible care, in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR.
Who are we?
INRALS, International Network of Recruitment Agencies in Life Sciences, falls under the Derks & Derks Holding B.V. and is located in Amersfoort at Databankweg 12A, 3821 AL, the Netherlands.
Initiated in 2012 by Jan Derks (Derks & Derks) and Michel Vandycke (Vandycke & partners), INRALS brings together Recruitment and Outsourcing Agencies that are active in Life Sciences. In today’s global markets, multinationals exhibit a strong preference for internationally organized recruitment agencies, which forms a significant challenge to nationally organized agencies. INRALS aims to meet this challenge by providing a platform for international collaboration as well as informal exchange of know-how and experience.
