Daniel Tallos
Former Nike travel manager Daniel Tallos has started a new recruitment agency working across travel and other industries.
Amsterdam-based Tallos has set up the Find Your Best agency which focuses on mid-level and senior management roles in the travel industry, as well as sectors such as retail, FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) and start-ups.
“It has always been my passion to help people to grow,” Tallos told BTN Europe. “I have also been often exposed to sourcing talent, recruitment and hiring colleagues and team members, which I enjoyed very much.
“I am primarily working on roles based in EMEA. I love the variety of the scope, as I get to speak with a variety of candidates and customers.”
It is Tallos’ first role within the recruitment sector but he added that he had “selected and hired many team members” during his career with Air France KLM, American Express Global Business Travel and Nike.
“I love to get to know new people, understand what direction their companies are taking and how hiring the right people can enable them to reach their goals,” explained Tallos.
“During my professional life, people have been naturally coming to me for career and life coaching and advice. I have been helping many people to find new jobs, get set for a selection process or change career path.”
Tallos said that many companies within travel were “genuinely anxious” about not being able to get enough staff in customer-facing roles following the pandemic.
“Pre-Covid, many of these jobs had been filled by migrant or permanent foreign workers,” he added. “With Covid and Brexit, many of these employees have just not come back to their previous jobs.
“I think that supply being scarce, wages will increase in these jobs, which may lead to more innovation to automate and digitalise additional touch points of the consumer journey in B2B travel services.”
