It is extremely difficult to recruit for technical positions

It is extremely difficult to recruit for technical positions in the Liège area. People don’t travel very far, and even less so for technical positions. Plus they aren’t always available or open to changing jobs. I believe that, thanks to the way you work and your network and your experience and headhunting, you will be able to find the people we are looking for faster.

Profile Group’s approach and network make the difference

In “Recruitment & Selection”, Profile Group’s approach and network make it easier to find the kind of people we are looking for, and that’s what makes the difference compared with the way we look for people ourselves. First of all, there is real support when it comes to writing job descriptions to make them appealing. Then, more than just publishing the advertisements, Profile Group works on 2 levels at the same time: checking Profile Group’s internal network, and also headhunting candidates to target the right kinds of people thanks to your tools.

Recruitment is easier!

Recruitment is easier, especially for technical positions. We have recruited 5 or 6 people During my first meeting with a member of Profile Group, I was aware of a real sense of closeness, and this meant we could start working together quickly with confidence. The drive that people have in Liège is a real asset because we are looking for local people!

							
					

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.
