“Talentfinder, Profile Group’s recruitment software, has enabled us to be more efficient and gain so much precious time that we can use to focus on the quality of our new employees. ”

City of Brussels

Many job openings with very diverse profiles

The City of Brussels is the largest commune in the Brussels region both in terms of size and number of inhabitants. It is also one of the largest employers in the region with its 3900 employees. Beyond the pure administrative aspects, the mission of these employees is to offer a large range of services contributing to a pleasant living environment for its inhabitants. In addition to the services related to civil status and the population register, the City of Brussels also offers cultural, educational and early childhood care services, while ensuring urban and commercial development on its territory. 

Each year more than 300 jobs for very diverse functions are filled by external recruitment. The job offers published by the City of Brussels are as rich as they are varied: engineers, skilled workers, lawyers, administrative roles and childcare workers. 

Talentfinder, Profile Group’s recruitment ATS, manages more than 10.000 candidates each year 

The City of Brussels is collaborating with Profile Group since 2014. This collaboration and the use of the Talentfinder ATS has enabled us to increase our visibility as an employer but has also helped the diffusion of our job ads with our partners as well as on the jobboards. Talentfinder enables us to easily manage more than 10000 applications and improve the communication and follow up with each candidate coming to us.  

Now we can focus on what matters: the quality of our recruits 

Talentfinder, Profile Group’s ATS, is a great tool that has enabled us to be more efficient, gain so much time when managing our recruitments and, above all, focus on our key mission: the selection and the quality of our new employees. After so many years, we also value the on-going reactivity of the Profile Group team to our various requests and inquiries.  

What our clients say

Rachel Crepin - Chief HR Officer
Amélie Pecquet - Talent Acquisition & Development Manager - Sprimoglass

“Profile Group is a company whose values we share and which advocates listening to the client, quality of service, availability, partnership and benevolence. Benevolence is really the watchword, and this, with all Profile Group interlocutors. ”
Lina Aburous
Head of Communications - CCRE-CEMR

“

I had the privilege to collaborate with Profile Group on a couple of occasions as a candidate. My experience was extremely positive and pleasant working with Emma Waites, who’s a tough, well versed, deep and spot on headhunter. She has the ability to make the candidate articulate their own skills and think thoroughly of how their past experience is relevant to the future job. While she never shies away from asking complicated questions, she is very caring, positive, empathetic, and never misses a detail. During the process I truly learnt a lot about myself, and got my dream job.”

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.

“HR is probably THE most complicated thing for small teams - the wrong hires will mar the whole work atmosphere. The Profile Group really helped us to make our team grow with the right people with the kind of mindset we were looking for. We really owe them part of our current success.”
