OCRE – More Than Just an Acronym

OCRE stands for Outsourcing, Consultancy, Recruitment, and Executive Search, reflecting our expertise in delivering workforce solutions across industries. However, the name has an interesting backstory.

When founding OCRE, it was initially thought that the name referred to the color Ochre—a warm, earthy tone. While this wasn’t the original intention, the connection fits perfectly. Mark Okkes, a geologist like co-founder Bart van Mierlo, has a strong affinity for the color. As a painter, Mark frequently uses ochre in his artwork. Additionally, the name OCRE bears a subtle resemblance to his surname, making the connection even more personal.
