Ibis Communication

What was your challenge when you met us?

We needed to find a Managing Director with managerial experience and an affinity with our key activities as a communications agency specialising in multimedia content with a loyal client base, and to do so relatively quickly.

Can you explain the solution provided?

In a similar case, Nathalie Hautphenne had already provided a solution that was both rapid and effective. The monitoring of the candidates and the consultations, both with the applicants and with us, took place under the best possible conditions, marked by a constant concern to refine the skills required and the match with possible candidates. Nathalie's warm, attentive and diligent style both impressed us and encouraged us to trust her in this special world of recruitment.

Can you share your results with us?

Not surprisingly, with her experience and intuition, her follow-up and perseverance, Nathalie was able to submit a short list of five interesting and interested candidates to us fairly quickly.

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.
