How I can help

Extra capacity for your HR team.

During absence, peak workloads or projects, I step in quickly. I get up to speed with your processes and systems and make sure day-to-day HR operations keep running, with brief coordination where needed.

01

HR Operations, administration & payroll input

From onboarding, offboarding, contracts and leave to absence administration and tracking actions and deadlines under the Dutch Gatekeeper Improvement Act (Wet verbetering poortwachter). I also prepare, check and coordinate payroll input with the payroll provider.

02

Processes & documentation

Clear processes, practical templates and documentation that is not only correct, but actually used.

03

HRIS setup & optimisation

Clearly scoped support with setting up and improving HR systems, creating logical workflows, reliable data and less manual work.

04

Freelance & interim HR support

Even when an HR team member has already left and a full handover is unavailable, I find my way independently. I keep day-to-day HR operations running and bring calm and structure to the HR operation.

Systems & payroll

Quickly at home in your HR landscape.

I work comfortably with HR and payroll systems and make sure changes, data and processes connect properly. I quickly get to grips with new HRIS environments.

About me

Hello, I'm Mendy.

As a freelance HR professional, I create clarity across HR administration, payroll input, processes and systems. I feel at home where people, processes and systems meet.

My style is personal and down-to-earth. I work best within an established HR structure, with clear responsibilities and colleagues to coordinate with. Even without a full handover, I find my way independently. I keep operations running and improve what can be made more practical within the existing framework, for example through clear templates, processes and ways of working.

  • Creating structure without unnecessary bureaucracy
  • Working carefully, with attention to the person behind the file
  • Quickly understanding HR systems and helping to set them up and improve them in practice
  • Working independently and coordinating with employees, managers and external partners

Outside work, I am curious and enjoy being on the move. I read a lot and love getting on my motorcycle, preferably for a long journey. That combination of independence, good preparation and adapting along the way also reflects how I work.

Who I support

Extra HR capacity, exactly when it is needed.

01

Established HR departments

Temporarily short on capacity and looking for an experienced professional who can quickly join and contribute.

02

Larger organisations

With substantial day-to-day HR operations where careful execution, continuity and clarity matter.

03

HRIS assignments

With a clearly scoped systems question involving setup, workflows, data quality or optimisation.
