Employee profiles

"I particularly enjoy the transparent way of communicating, internally as well as externally"

I started working for Accountemps in 1997, after my studies and a short career in insurances. I transferred to Robert Half Finance and Accounting to do permanent recruitment in 2000. By 2005, I had been put in charge of both Robert Half Finance and Accounting and the Robert Half Financial Services Group in our Brussels office. Recently, I also launched Robert Half Legal.

Robert Half International gives its employees a tremendous amount of autonomy and opportunities to grow. As a company, we have defined recruiting models and procedures which never fail. This recipe for success has already proved its worth during the 60 years we are on the market. Furthermore, Robert Half International stimulates its employees in trying new things and permanently re-inventing the job, an attitude which I enjoy very much. Robert Half International is an ethical company, which translates into a respectful attitude towards its clients, candidates and employees. I particularly enjoy the transparent way of communicating, internally as well as externally.

"At Robert Half International, there is a burning desire to achieve, which is very contagious"

I studied economics in college and started my professional life at Robert Half International eight years ago, after a few years in the banking industry. After a year and a half I became division manager and last year I accepted the challenge to launch a new branch in Roeselare. We tripled our profit within eight months and have recently launched OfficeTeam. Despite working in a smaller branch I get a great deal of opportunity to develop and grow along with the company.

Working for Robert Half International means being surrounded by driven and enthusiastic people. There is a burning desire to achieve, which is very contagious. Management is stable and knows what it's talking about, because they've all been in your shoes. Everyone within the organization is appreciated, our salary packages are above the industry average and you can increase your pay considerably by working hard. There are lots of perks, like company cars and training for whatever you wish to improve on. We rotate roles, which ensures that no one ever gets bored and that no two days are alike.

"Robert Half International is an honest company where women and men are treated equally and promoted by merit"

Before joining Robert Half International I had spent much of my career in marketing in Europe and Africa. I did a lot of networking which has certainly helped in my current job. Robert Half International had an opening for a profile which matched mine, so in 2004 I started working here. Having met so many people in so many industries was certainly a big help for me. It allows me to understand the needs of our clients.

Robert Half International is a no-nonsense and down to earth firm which is what I enjoy most. It's hard work, but there is a tremendous cohesion and support between colleagues. At Robert Half International, hard work is compensated by a fair bonus system. You are shown the path to succeed and encouraged in your ambitions. I cherish the skills I've acquired on the job because they allow me to please both candidates and clients which satifies me immensely. Robert Half International is a transparent and honest company which deals in a gentlemanly manner and where women and men are treated equally and are promoted by merit.

"I consciously chose a reputable company with a good structure and a solid financial background"

I graduated as an English/Spanish translator in 1998. I started working at Robert Half International through an advertisement. My first role was as an administrative assistant and I became administrative coordinator in March of 2005. I now coordinate ten administrative assistants and train new recruits. My job consists of supplying consultants with information on social regulations and procedures and orchestrating office duties.

I consciously chose a reputable company with a good structure and a solid financial background. My job has been made very enjoyable by the office's great atmosphere. We are constructively pushed to achieve with a diverse package of responsibilities. Communication is very honest and open and people are given multiple opportunities to prove themselves and to improve. This is a very ethical company which allows me to develop my career along with the growth of the company. There are many opportunities and management is committed to find the perfect job for every employee even if that means creating one.
