Who am I?

I am a thorough upstream thinker. Born in an entrepreneurial family and trained as a language teacher, I have a passion for transmitting knowledge but also want to bring true sustainable value to people & companies. It was therefore a natural choice to join the recruitment world.

My experience in recruitment

I have 20+ year experience in recruitment. I am a trilingual recruitment expert with a focus on executive search for high level managerial roles in many sectors such as energy, construction, pharma, FMCG, public and even non-profit. I have also conducted several consulting, RPO or strategic projects for some of my largest clients. I start each mission with an in-depth upstream analysis covering:

  • a rigorous preparation before the intake to understand the company’s business and its position on the market,
  • the time to go through the company values & culture, strategy & vision and specifically its HR strategy & team,
  • the analysis of each step of the recruitment process: market analysis, profile benchmarking, job advert creation, optimisation of the job board coverage, definition of a sourcing protocol and simultaneously search for candidates on LinkedIn.

This analysis enables me to create a seamless relationship with the business so I can propose the best solution in order to optimise the outcome of the recruitment. I can also create a more meaningful dialogue with candidates who come already fully engaged vs the company and the role.

My consulting projects

  • Recruitment Process Outsourcing at Enabel
  • Recruitment coaching and training at Genesis
  • Onboarding design and set up at Parking Brussels

I would highly recommend working with Veronique’

Tjeu Binnebeek

Senior Business developer - VLAAMS ENERGIEBEDRIJF

I came into contact with Véronique after applying to a job ad. While I am not usually fond of recruiters, the contact with Véronique was remarkably pleasant. She sets her apart from others by listening intensely, to the story and the needs and not just the words. She herself brings her story in a way that whispers confidence. She takes her time and ensures the needs of the client, role and applicant are aligned. She is very involved but never gets pushy. As an applicant, it all feels very personal and genuine. Her knowledge of the vacancy and the organisation in question was also on point to perfection. Absolutely top-notch’

What I like about Profile Group

Profile Group is a family where you feel listened to and respected. Discussions with management about strategy, vision and our values take place on a daily basis and this is a real added value for me as Senior Recruitment Expert. What’s more, I get to work across disciplines with colleagues from all over Belgium. Profile Group has placed its trust in me and continues to motivate me in the development of my role and the many hats I’ve been given.
