Alon Gildoni

I came to Alon when my job search had been going on longer than I wanted it to. Today I'm in a role I'm genuinely happy with. Those two facts are connected, and I'd rather lead with them than with compliments. There's a difference between good advice and a better way to think. Alon gave me the second one. He has a clear-eyed read on the Dutch tech market, and he can sit with a half-formed idea for an hour and hand it back standing up on its own. The honest part: I came in wanting a formula. Alon didn't have one for me. He told me to stop chasing roles because they paid well and more or less fit, and to start from what I actually like doing, so that the interest would be real. And he told me there's no trick to the interview either: it's storytelling about what you actually did, not a description of the kind of person you are. Neither of those was what I wanted to hear from someone I'd come to for help getting hired faster. Both are what moved the search, and they're why the prep made me sharper rather than just more rehearsed.

Alon recently helped me prepare for a set of interview processes. A mensch and a real professional. On top of which he is an institution in the Israeli community in the Netherlands, for everything he does there and everything he has given it. Whether you are looking for your first role in the Netherlands, trying to move up, or need to think through something complicated, Alon is the person to go to.

I don't want to embarrass him, but credit where it's due. Alon offers a mentoring and guidance program for finding work in the Dutch market, which we all know is tough right now. Personally I started the process long before we moved here (almost a year before, I think), mainly to understand how the market behaves. Alon reads where the market is going before it even gets there, so the tips he gave me a year before I moved worked again and again. Alon's guidance is of the highest level, so it demands maximum investment from the participant, but the results speak for themselves. Very warmly recommended!

I warmly recommend Alon Gildoni, who guided me through a meaningful process of professional focus and direction. Alon helped me ask the right questions, define the requirements of my next role, understand which industries interest me most, and sharpen all the considerations and conditions that matter to me in choosing what comes next. The process was personal, professional, to the point, and very useful. Beyond that, he gave me tools and insights about the Dutch job market, the cultural differences, and what really matters to employers here. In my view this is an important process not only for someone job hunting, but also for someone already working who is wondering whether they are in the right place and wants more clarity, focus, and direction for the rest of their career. I warmly recommend Alon to anyone who wants to approach their job search, or their career planning, in a more focused, deliberate, and effective way.

I came to my last job search with significant professional experience, but at some point I felt that the usual approach of sending out CVs simply was not producing the result I hoped for. I came to Alon on a recommendation, and it was a turning point. I am used to working with AI tools and refining processes myself, but the methodology Alon developed completely changed the way I approached the search. It was not a magic solution, but an orderly process that required work from both sides, and what stood out in particular was his availability, the personal attention, and the ability to tailor the process to my needs. In the end I landed an excellent role here in Amsterdam, one that fits exactly the professional stage I am at. Alon is a true professional, and for anyone who feels their job search is not progressing the way it should, it is well worth talking to him.

I just signed a contract with Miro, against all odds and a week before our planned move. A lot of it is thanks to your support and guidance. Thank you so much!

You played a decisive role in our smooth move to the Netherlands, giving invaluable guidance through the job search and the relocation. Your expertise mattered enormously, and I finally landed the role I was after!

The recent interactions were a pleasure: professional, enriching, and genuinely valuable. Your patience and your irreplaceable tips were much appreciated. We are planning a trip to the Netherlands and hope to meet during the visit.

You helped me shape my CV to land my first job in the Netherlands. You give great career advice, whether you are job hunting or trying to grow in your current role.
