Coralie Verellen
Head of Human Resources - Val du Geer

“Every job ad published via Talentboost was successful and attracted quality applications, despite a competitive job market. ”

Val du Geer

The initial challenge

My main challenge was to improve the results of our advertisements in terms of the number and quality of applications received, with the aim of attracting the best profiles. And that's exactly what happened!  
 
Previously, I published our job ads on LinkedIn and Forem, but never as extensively as with Talentboost. 

The solution

Talentboost allows me to carry out the recruitment process myself, while saving time on writing and publishing adverts. All I have to do is describe the job, and the Profile Group team will write a hard-hitting advert, then publish it on all the Belgian job boards. 
 
This allows me to concentrate on what's most important: the human aspect of the recruitment process, which is essential to me.  
 
What's more, the Talentfinder tool (ATS combined with Talentboost) gives me a quick overview of new candidates. I can quickly consult their CVs and assess them. Responding to applications is also very simple.  

							
					

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.
