In Belgium, a country where the majority of people think it is not easy to find an English speaking job, I forwarded my very first CV to Profile group. I was amazed at how efficient and responsive they were. Working with Hans as my consultant was a joy. He coached me and guided me through the interview process and I was able to get the very Job I wanted at my very first try. I will recommend Profile group and working with Hans to anyone without a doubt!

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.

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.

In the construction engineering sector, where there is a real shortage of candidates, Nathalie knows how to make the most of her position, to the great benefit of her clients. Thanks to her empathy and listening skills, she is able to identify needs and advise on how to formulate them if necessary. To find the best candidates, she draws on her network and canvasses… but that’s a matter of professional secrecy and know-how! In any case, the results are there.
