Davide Puleri

I am an Italian Recruiter living in the Netherlands. I work for a recruitment agency in Amsterdam and I am the host of Get Hired Today, where I share job tips combined with some mindset tools for expats like me.

I’m not just a Recruiter, outside of work, I’m a normal guy who loves music, singing, baking healthy treats, travelling, and staying active through fitness. These things keep me balanced, especially when life gets hectic.

This podcast is not about being perfect, but it’s about growing together, step by step, through real conversations and some nice practical advice.
