“The feeling of having a really good partnership: communication is easy, we don’t need to explain things more than once because we have the same quality criteria.”

We were looking for an engineer…

About 5 years ago I saw someone from the Liège office because we needed to recruit somebody, I think we were looking for an engineer at the time. We hadn’t worked together before.

With RPO, a consultant came inhouse and adapted to our needs

After Profile Group had carried out several recruitment & selection drives, we noticed the quality of the information we got, the reports, the interaction, real transparency and in-depth analysis... So we wanted to move towards a new approach: RPO. A consultant came to us and adapted to our needs. The way they approach candidates is really excellent, as is the flow of information.

Quality, efficiency and confidence

A fantastic partnership with brilliant consultants! We filled quite a few positions over a 4-5 month period while I was away. We also wanted to work with Profile Group again to have a single point of contact who really makes a connection, who introduces the candidates after taking the trouble to assess them. I know in advance how high the quality of their work will be. I have complete confidence, and for me it’s about getting the right outcome, not necessarily just ticking all the boxes.

							
					

What our clients say

Luuk Zonneveld
Chair of the Board of Directors - EDFI

Why do you like to work with us? I highly appreciate the personal commitment of the Profile Group (PG) expert, Hans, I worked with. He pro-actively contacted me regularly to ensure the efficient and successful recruitment procedure, he kept in contact with the long- and short-listed candidates and was helpful in discussing candidates’ suitability for the function in question. What were the recruitment challenges you, as head of the recruitment committee, had for the search for the new General Manager for EDFI? The job profile for the function was very specific, it was not like recruiting for a generalized function like teacher or bookkeeper, making it challenging to recruit and assess applicants. How has PROFILE GROUP answered these challenges? PG/Hans submitted a diverse initial long list to us. Because of our feedback PG/Hans gained better insight in the exact candidate profile we were looking for, which helped PG in its recruiting and initial assessment. What was it like to work with Hans in the search for the General Manager? Relaxed and informal in the best sense of these words. I could call him whenever I wanted, and he was almost always available. The informal character of the cooperation made it easy to quickly get to the point, talk frankly and progress well. What appeals to you in PROFILE GROUP’s service? It’s no-nonsense approach, efficiency, and quality. Why would you recommend Profile Group/Hans as Executive Search partner? Because such searches are always more complex in terms of profile sought and delicacy of process, and Hans is an excellent partner with the necessary capacity to listen to me as a client, patience, discretion, and tact.
