HR Manager - CHR Verviers

“For me, Talentboost is first and foremost a genuine partnership that enables us to boost our attractiveness and get more candidates. What's more, we can do all this at a lower cost than a campaign that we would manage directly on job boards.”

CHR Verviers

What was your challenge before meeting Profile Group?

In general, we post our advertisements on our website, Facebook and we communicate internally to activate internal networks.  We were looking for candidates for two positions: 'Technical Department Manager' and 'Management Controller'. Since our usual strategy wasn't yielding any results, we turned to Profile Group.

Can you explain the solution?

After discussing our challenges, Ludovic suggested that we optimise the visibility of our ads, make them attractive to target our needs precisely and put them online on all the job boards to ensure optimum national coverage. Naturally, we compared the rates offered with those of our competitors and came to the conclusion that the prices for Talentboost were very attractive and competitive. All the CVs arrive on the Talentfinder platform and then my colleague or I can sort them out.

Can you share your results with us?

I appreciate the real partnership with Profile Group: they really listen to me and give me real advice. Ludovic brought a fresh perspective to the job, which helped us to make the role and our group more attractive to candidates. Our adverts were then reworked very quickly by Ludovic and distributed immediately. Our first Talentboost enabled us to recruit successfully. We will be using this service for all our more complex recruitments.

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.
