How to manage a candidate database efficiently?

Our challenge was to create and maintain an electronic database of candidates for local authority jobs with search keys, and then to create an approval process with our sector and operational managers outside HR.

Internal research, reporting, transparency...

Thanks to its Talentfinder tool, Profile Group helped us build up a database of candidates and carry out regular searches for profiles according to targeted needs. It also means that we can carry out an internal search using this database before possibly launching an external search and so reduce certain costs. We can also generate reports using the tool so there is more transparency for decision makers when it comes to the recruitment process.
The links to recruitment platforms is handy.

Better communication both internal and with candidates

It makes it faster and easier to search for candidates.
As well as this, communication with the candidate is integrated in the tool and an approval process involving the line managers also means that the monitoring process is well integrated, and we can track the history, as well as allow different people to consult information related to the candidates (recruitment tests etc.).

What our clients say

Katrien Lueke

Policy Analyst - EDFI

“
I have had the great pleasure of being accompanied by Hans throughout a recruitment process. Overall, the selection procedure was very transparent and well organised. I appreciated having Hans as a “neutral broker” between me, as a candidate, and the recruiting organisation. Thanks to our open conversations, I could sharpen my understanding of the position and how it fits to my profile. I especially appreciated the continued availability and support of Hans in case of questions or concerns. Even if I had not been chosen for the position, I would have been very grateful for having gone through the different recruitment stages with Hans. Due to the comprehensiveness of the assessment, I learned more about myself and about how to approach selection processes. My sincere thanks for everything!’

- CCRE/CEMR

“
Our challenge is we had an insufficient number of candidates answering to the job offer; additionally, those responding did not have the adequate profile matching with the position.

Profile Group revised the job ad and suggested changes, which resulted in a higher and more qualified number of applicants, and, consequently, in finding the right person.

Profile Group has a solid knowledge of the work market in Brussels, and a strong understanding of the clients’ needs; the CV screening is, therefore, a successful exercise, and the result is positive for all the involved parties.

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.

I have to thank Nathalie for getting me back into the job market and for restoring my confidence in certain parts of myself. It was invaluable and she succeeded. The team is charming and has shown me a lot of empathy. I feel at ease with them, their humor, responsiveness, respect and kindness. The sector is dynamic and I’m learning to discover a world that was almost unknown to me until recently. I’m happy to go to work.
