Bus/Financial - Human Resources / two old-fashioned job descriptions.
Dutch term or phrase: Plekker, tigenstikster
These are two occupations listed in a 1962 Belgian birth certificate, not other information is given in the text.

I assume these are old Belgian names for professions, but they are not listed in any dictionaries in my possesion, and they do not generate any relevant hits on the internet.
