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!’

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’m currently working with Alexandre on various recruitment assignments for Skechers EDC, and I’d like to emphasise his ability to bring a lot of positivity and a real human dimension to our discussions. Alexandre is also a great listener and a quick thinker. He doesn’t hesitate to use his sense of humour and his creativity, which are undoubtedly important assets that enhance his persuasiveness.

I would highly recommend working with Veronique’

There are a lot of recruiters on the market, but with Nathalie it’s different. She doesn’t act as a recruiter, but as a partner who offers the right solutions at the right time. She’s more a member of the company than an outside partner. What’s more, she’s precise, proactive, positive and very professional. Well done Nathalie!
