About us

Vision

For organizations that think beyond just staffing.

At STAVV, we believe HR is at the heart of every future-proof organization. The days of HR being just administrative processes are long gone. HR is human capital that provides direction and enables growth. Modern HR professionals are more than executors. They are agents of change, advisors to leadership, and the connecting force between people and strategy. We see every day how they truly make a difference. That’s why we help organizations evolve from reactive to proactive HR. We connect professionals who know how to make an impact on people, performance, and organizational development. Because only with strategic HR can you stay relevant, agile, and future-ready.

Mission

At STAVV, we believe in HR that truly makes an impact.

We believe HR plays a key role in addressing challenges such as digitization, labor shortages, changing employee expectations, and the demand for more diversity & inclusion, wellbeing, and sustainability. In this landscape, the role of HR is fundamentally shifting: from operational and supportive to strategic and guiding — without losing sight of its operational core. Our mission is to facilitate and accelerate this shift. We connect HR professionals with forward-thinking organizations and help those organizations grow their HR maturity. Not just by filling positions, but by contributing to sustainable change.

Our Core Values

At STAVV, our core values are the compass for everything we do. With synergy, talent-driven mindset, imagination, and a resilient approach, we build strong connections between people and work every day.
Synergy

Together, you go further. We connect HR professionals who make a difference — with and for teams.
Resilience

HR requires agility. We adapt, act fast, and stay the course — even when things get tough at the workplace.
Talent-driven

We believe in the power of people. Talent is our starting point, growth is our goal.
Imagination

Progress starts with vision. We think beyond today and help organizations do the same.

Six years ago, Bas Gofers founded ONTAPE, the parent company of STAVV, with a clear focus: matching top-tier business support professionals. What began with executive assistants and office managers quickly developed into a leading label within this field.

In recent years, Bas noticed a clear shift in the market: a growing demand for strong HR professionals. Driven by his interest in people-focused roles and organisational development, he co-founded STAVV in 2025 with Coen Frazer: the business unit within ONTAPE dedicated entirely to HR.

Bas remains closely involved with ONTAPE Executive Support. His strength lies in building sustainable teams and developing recruitment strategies that create long-term value. At STAVV, he advises on the strategic direction of the label.

Vocational school for women

STAVV supports Stichting Kafountine because its mission perfectly aligns with our belief that real talent can flourish anywhere. Since 1996, the foundation has been committed to equal opportunities for women in the Casamance region (Senegal), through the Satang Jabang vocational school: an accredited training program in food, fashion, entrepreneurship, and health. As there is no structural government funding, the foundation supports the school through advice, fundraising, and hands-on projects such as a lunchroom and botanical garden aimed at self-reliance and impact. At STAVV, we believe in empowering people through craftsmanship, independence, and education — that’s why we’re proud to contribute.
