“Well done is better than well said!”

A little bit about me as a headhunter

Extensive network

Thanks to many years of experience, I’ve built a strong network of quality profiles in high positions.

Quality above quantity or performance

If I only have one quality match, then you’ll be introduced to that one person. No need in suggesting non-matching profiles just to have more than one candidate.

More than 14 years of experience

I know the market like the back of my hand, because I’ve been digging in it for many years.

Sharp eye for anything HR related

It’s not just about finding the right candidate. If the road gets bumpy, I’m there with advice on how to improve your vacancy. Maybe you could throw in some more perks for the candidate or work on your employer brand to attract more suited profiles.

Born, raised and settled in Ghent

I am a proud Gentenaar. Even though I enjoy working for international companies, I will never say no to a good collab with a local business in Ghent.

Values I swear by

Collabs based on mutual trust

I have a strong sense for ethical entrepreneurship. I only work with people that I believe in and trust. Everything said between us, will be confidential and you will have full exclusivity in candidates presented to you.

Efficient executive search & recruitment

Time is valuable, especially for busy entrepreneurs and managers. Therefore, I work as efficiently as possible to find the right candidate for your vacancy, wasting no time or resources. You can expect fast and straightforward feedback to productively move forward.

Personal
approach

Efficiency doesn’t mean sloppy work.
I take my time to carefully listen to your executive search & recruitment needs, and to get to know your company’s customs and culture. Only then I can find the right candidate for the job: someone that is not only skilled, but fits in the team as well.

It was a match!

“Julie is a dedicated and trustful recruitment partner.. She follows up and keeps regular contact. Through her dedication she goes the extra mile. But she also connects on a human and personal level to get to know the person behind the candidate. I trust her and will work again if possible.”

Tom Verstraeten

Senior TA Specialist

Norriq Benelux

“I hired Julie in February 2018. What a fighting spirit to make the difference! What she realised that year and in 2019, no one with her profile, on her age and with her background did it before. Persistency and a mentality of a winner. I experienced Julie as very mature, smart and sharp, fast and hard working. Fighting spirit to deliver results. Ownership, has always an action plan ready when facing challenges. Talent to keep in your team.”

“Within GemOne we started a collaboration with Julie earlier this year to help us in the search for new colleagues around the world. Julie works fast, she is very professional and follows up on things well (both with us and with the candidates). She listens to our needs and proposes candidates that fit the job. I would really recommend her if you need help in recruitment. You're doing a great job Julie!”

Hanne De Ridder

Chief Human Resources

GemOne

“Julie has excellent recruiting and business intelligence skills. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Julie will truly appreciate her efforts to find the right 'fit'. Julie is one of those rare professionals who can focus on the details and can also have far sighted strategic visions. I appreciate Julie's willingness to put me in touch with others within her network and am delighted to recommend her. I look forward to working with her often in the future.”

Jelle

Candidate

“Julie is one of these recruiters who takes her assignments very seriously and she will always deliver against expectations. She takes her time to listen to her customers and qualifies not only the formal requirements, but she really tries to capture the person behind the formal job spec. This makes she is very capable to introduce the right candidate in terms of cultural fit and personality. She’s very professional in managing the process, follow-up and feedback to candidates. You can always count on her positive and solution oriented approach, and with her bright personality she really stands out. I would definitely recommend her for any recruitment assignment.”

Bert Van De Velde

Senior HR Manager

Grand Thornton

“In order to build a new European Sales organization, we were looking for very specific and experienced professionals in different countries. Our business is very niche markets oriented and our products are technically complex, meaning that the experts cannot be found around the corner. We contacted Julie Dhaene for this Executive search and in no time she had understood and pictured the precise ‘profile’ we were looking. Shortly after, a couple of CV’s were presented which did lead to a positive hiring of a UK Manager. What I appreciated upmost is the ‘Speed of capturing the needs of the client’, ‘Prompt submission of the first batch of candidates’ and especially ‘remaining from submitting useless candidates’, which happens all the time with many Search Companies. I would not hesitate to mandate her again for the next specific resource search for the company.”
