Smelt Story

Our Smelt Story: A Personal Commitment

Since 1989, Smelt has been your HR partner in life sciences. We’re not just any service provider; we’re a family-owned, innovative team dedicated to making your experience personal and tailored to your unique needs. Our hearts are in life sciences. It’s where we’re passionate, constantly learning, and building networks that help you.

From our Dutch roots, we’ve grown into an international family, serving clients across Europe and connecting with freelancers from all around. And as we step into 2023, we’re all about networking. We’ve opened up this network through our platform.

The world’s changing, and the need for specialists and temporary project managers is on the rise. Jobs aren’t just jobs anymore; they’re assignments, and some are so unique that permanent employees can’t handle them. That’s where our interim platform in life sciences comes in. It brings together freelancers, experts, and interim managers with clients. Clients describe their assignments, and interim professionals build profiles that fit.

If your organization needs support finding and contracting interim professionals, we’re here to add that special touch. Let’s connect and discover the difference of working with Smelt.
