Recruitment Specialist Freelance - Laura Swysen

“Profile Group is a human adventure full of wonderful encounters - there's a real interest in people, whether they're interim managers or even people who are recruited. ”

Laura Swysen

Why choose Interim Management?

After 5 years in an interim agency, I needed more challenge to develop myself. It's important to have access to different companies with a greater diversity of assignments to learn and consolidate your experience.

In 2022, I decided to move to interim management with 5 assignments, including 2 with Profile Group. Interim assignments are often very short. So you have to fit in very quickly, understand expectations and, above all, deliver immediate, tangible results. This challenge suits me better.

Why choose Profile Group as a freelance?

Profile Group provides real support, enabling me to achieve these objectives, because they have a very qualitative approach: they go the extra mile in terms of briefing, alignment with the objectives of the assignment and processes. They have clear managers, established processes and forms or guides, for example for candidate interviews.

As an interim manager, I get a lot of support, with regular briefings, a defined manager who is always available and, above all, who helps me with the most complex recruitments. I get a lot of feedback, which helps me to grow and strengthen.

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.

“
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.”
