FedEx is a regular recruiter but...

FedEx is a regular recruiter but has difficulties finding a stable and reliable partner that could truly understand the company, its philosophy, its structure and its managerial approach.

The very human commitment of Profile Group

The stability of the personnel at Profile Group is a key success factor and truly remarkable compared to many other agencies. Having the same point of contact means that we have someone who truly understands our needs.
The very human commitment of Profile Group means that the results are typically there fast, not too many candidates fail once recommended in comparison to the experience we have with other agencies.
Finally the flexibility is also a key success factor, for example by moving the country scope from originally sourcing in and for Belgium, to now sourcing in and for multiple countries.

Some figures...

Since the beginning of this partnership in 2007, Profile Group has been working on many recruitment & selection projects as more than 80 people from all over Europe found their way into FedEx over the years with the assistance of Profile Group. Some assessments have also been made for the Liège entity.

What our clients say

Stephan Vandewiele

COO - BDO

“
May I also take this opportunity to thank the Profile Group and especially you personally for the ‘flawless’ course of action from day 1 of the submission of my application until today: I was always dealt with very efficiently, kept informed of progress and expected next steps in the selection process, and the continuous feedback from and to BDO also went extremely smoothly. In short, a ‘dream process’ that compares sharply with other experiences I had with other companies over the past year. And I am not just saying that because I now have the job.

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.

“
Hans has a good grip on what is required to make a successful fit between a Company and a candidate, not only from a skills/competencies point of view, but also from the fit-in-the-team and Company culture side. Good listener, good and open communication and long term success oriented.’
