It is first and foremost a very efficient CV management process.
It’s fair to say that all the CVs we received were a mess. They came from different sources and we spent a lot of time coding them. Precious time that was wasted on proper follow-up. We had so many applications from so many different places that we couldn’t respond to every single candidate.   

Talentfinder not only makes our day-to-day work easier, but also optimises the candidate experience.
Talentfinder was recommended to us by Profile Group and we found it to be a brilliant tool. On the one hand, it enabled us to have centralised management and a database of CVs, but it also optimised candidate follow-up, which ensures a better candidate experience. What’s more, it facilitates the distribution of our job offers. It also allows us to analyse candidate sources and target our efforts appropriately.   

 It’s a great tool for centralising and improving the candidate experience, but it’s also a time-saving automation tool. 

What was the challenge you had when you met us?
Before Talentfinder, everything was done manually .
Before implementing Talentfinder, we had to treat each application manually via email which was extremely time-consuming. The job posting was also done manually and individually for each jobsite.   

Could you explain the proposed solution?
A very easy implementation of the Talentfinder ATS. 
After we decided to use Talentfinder, its installation and the team training were done in just a few weeks thanks to a very clear planning and an excellent project management by the Talentfinder support team.

Could you share with us the key results?
Digitalisation means huge time saving .
The Talentfinder digital platform enables us to gain so much precious time as it enables to follow up on each application just in a few clicks using to the mail templates that are at our disposal.  

The job posting functionality is also very intuitive: in a few easy steps, our job openings are published on the jobsites of our choice, the free sites as well as the paid ones whenever relevant.  

Also whenever we have an issue or a question, the Talentfinder support team is super reactive and always offers a solution that is immediately implemented.  

What was the challenge you had when you met us?
Lack of a clear process, chaotic management, time and money wasted… 
We used to lose so much time when we had to post ourselves each job offer on each job site.   

On top of that, our costs for our recruitment campaign were much higher as it was necessary to get individual ‘jobposting credits’ on each platform.  

Also the management of the various applications was truly chaotic:  the CVs came from one specific email address and we had to send back our replies via the candidate email address. The applications were not properly followed up as they were not managed in a structured and centralised way.  It was really difficult to ensure a smooth followup for each applicant. 

Could you explain the proposed solution?
Centralisation of all applications and simplification of the whole recruitment process   

• An easy management of the job postings on the various channels based on our individual credit (which implies so much time saving for the recruiter as well as a clear cost reduction).  
• A digital platform that centralises all applications, enables our managers to directly access all the CVs, add their comments and have a clear overview on each applicant.    
• An easy functionality enabling the search by type of function into the database and therefore the capability to create ‘Talent Pools’ with candidates that are potentially relevant for future job openings.    
• The reporting tool that is integrated but also adaptable to our needs.   

Could you share with us the key results?
Saving time, fluidity and efficiency.  
– Time saving for the publication of job offers.  

– A more fluid and rapid management of applications . 

– Centralization of job offers, applications, which allows a more practical and efficient management.  

– Reports that provide an overview of the best performing job boards.  

What was the challenge you had when you met us?
Before we started using Talentfinder, we had problems to manage both the quantity and quality of candidate applications.     

Could you explain the proposed solution?
Talentfinder is an amazing tool and a real time saver.  

Could you share with us the key results?
It was an excellent investment for us and we have a great collaboration with the Talentfinder team.    

What was the challenge you had when you met us?
Bel V is not a big organization but looks for highly qualified and very specific profiles. Also we need to have short recruitment processes. Profile Group has helped us with these 2 challenges.  

Could you explain the proposed solution?
BELV has been working with Profile Group for several years starting with its Recruitment & Selection service, its Talentfinder tool and more recently its Assessment & Development program.  

Could you share with us the key results?
Profile Group Assessment reports are very “accurate”, they really have been an added value and are very helpful in the decision-making. They are very detailed and provide a good understanding of the profile type of the candidate, his/her professional aspirations, strengths, weaknesses, added value for Bel V…  
We also appreciate the adaptability and flexibility of the Profile Group staff, as well as the personalized approach. We never feel like a mere customer, because Profile Group strives to establish a real contact.  

What was the challenge you had when you met us?
Our recruitment project seemed overwhelming .
Without a digital tool to make it easy and quick to post job vacancies and the ability to manage several hundred applications per month en masse (receiving, processing and responding), our recruitment project seemed overwhelming. On a more serious note, our HR department didn’t manage to convey our corporate values: respect for people, professionalism, integrity and fairness.   

Could you explain the proposed solution?
A tool to manage our recruitments!  

Talentfinder is the recruitment management tool offered by Profile Group.  
When we publish a job vacancy, it appears directly on our local authority’s website as well as on our partners’ websites. But we can make changes quickly and easily.  
Candidates manage their own profile and responses are sent to them automatically.  
Lastly, Talentfinder has a chat tool that means we can contact their support at any time. They are really responsive and answer questions or make any changes that might be necessary.  

Could you share with us the key results?
Talentfinder is efficient, modular and easy to use for everyone!  

Talentfinder is all about efficiency! It is a fully modular tool and most importantly, it’s a pleasure to use for everyone involved. It makes the process more efficient, but also means that we can manage a large number of applications in just a few clicks. Lastly, the tool also means that we can generate statistics so we can get an overview of our recruitment situation. 

What was the challenge you had when you met us?
We wanted to be more responsive in the way we get back to candidates. We also wanted to have an electronic database of all the applications we had received so that we could systematically access it when we needed to fill new positions. Lastly, we wanted to cut down on paperwork.   

Could you explain the proposed solution?
An intuitive, comprehensive solution that helps us to be more responsive and professional in the way we monitor and manage the applications we receive.  

Could you share with us the key results?
Less paper, more responsive, time saved and an even more rigorous follow-up.  

 What was the challenge you had when you met us?
Our challenge was to create and maintain an electronic database of candidates for local authority jobs with search keys, and then to create an approval process with our sector and operational managers outside HR.   

Could you explain the proposed solution?
Thanks to its Talentfinder tool, Profile Group helped us build up a database of candidates and carry out regular searches for profiles according to targeted needs. It also means that we can carry out an internal search using this database before possibly launching an external search and so reduce certain costs. We can also generate reports using the tool so there is more transparency for decision makers when it comes to the recruitment process.  

The links to recruitment platforms is handy.  

Could you share with us the key results?
It makes it faster and easier to search for candidates.  

As well as this, communication with the candidate is integrated in the tool and an approval process involving the line managers also means that the monitoring process is well integrated, and we can track the history, as well as allow different people to consult information related to the candidates (recruitment tests etc.).

Many job openings with very diverse profiles .

Talentfinder, Profile Group’s recruitment ATS, manages more than 10.000 candidates each year .
The City of Brussels is collaborating with Profile Group since 2014.

After so many years, we also value the on-going reactivity of the Profile Group team to our various requests and inquiries.   

What was the challenge you had when you met us?
Our challenge was to make our recruitment processes more professional 
The St Gillis commune needed to improve its recruitment processes to make them more professional and less time consuming. The follow up of both the job offers and the applications was done without any digital tool, which was increasing the risks of mistakes and was preventing the team from doing this follow up in a smooth, efficient and fast way.   

Could you explain the proposed solution?
With Talentfinder we can manage all steps of the recruitment process 
The Talentfinder recruitment software by Profile Group : a super efficicent digital tool that manages all our recruitment steps: from the follow up of each job offer, their online publication, the communication with all applicants, the interview and selection phase until the signature with our new recruits.   

Could you share with us the key results?
Only positive results! 
Only positive results! Higher speed in the treatment of the job applications, an improved follow up for each candidate and for the HR team and its recruiters. A whole modernisation of our recruitement process.
