“The collaboration with Profile Group is pleasant, sustainable and efficient.”

Not only diploma and experience are important...

The challenge was to find strong credit officers (and other profiles) with a focus on the total candidate. Not only diploma and experience are important, but personality, a match with the company culture and long-term potential too. Profile Group has established very well who does and does not fit within our organization and in the various teams.

Publications and search: the strategy is adjusted where necessary

Through publications and searches, Profile Group is always able to present quality candidates. Compared to other external partners, the pre-screening of candidates is much better, and this ensures that Profile Group candidates stay with us much longer. Profile Group has always evolved with the changes in the profile. The strategy is adjusted where necessary, and as a result, it still succeeds in presenting sufficient great candidates, even in the current labour market.
Candidates always get a clear explanation about the position and the company, and start the interview with us well prepared.
Profile Group also provides a very good follow-up during the recruitment process, both with us and with the candidates. Profile Group also takes work off your hands by, for example, scheduling and confirming appointments with candidates.

Profile Group always succeeds in presenting great candidates

  1. We have built a lasting partnership with Profile Group over the past 15 years. We have found dozens of new colleagues who have stayed for the long haul. This high level of seniority is very important in order to be able to provide our customers with a quality service.
  2. Profile Group is a real sparring partner, who thinks along with you. The consultant understood so well who we were looking for, it seemed like she was an in house recruiter
							
					

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.
