LevelUP selects candidates by assessing their skills and experience and makes sure the required documentation is provided. Its pillars are transparency and a consultative approach, always aiming to inform clients about potential risks, helping with documentation and assuring an efficient recruitment process.
Meet our founder Daniel Kruczkowski
LevelUP founder Daniel Kruczkowski started out as a hands-on ZZP building professional but soon felt that full time employment wasn’t right for him.
Having studied economy and finance at WSHiP im. Łazarskiego, an elite University in Warsaw, he worked in sales, advisory and business consulting in the B2B sector, often dealing with senior stakeholders in the retail, finance, manufacturing, and investment management sector. Daniel completed sales and business development projects making millions in sales for the companies he was involved with.
At 32, he moved to the Netherlands and began to dream big: He wanted to build something of his own. At 39 he founded LevelUP, helping clients with his industry knowledge, providing practical value, and inspiring peers across the building industry.
