"I had the privilege to be HR Builders’ first client (even before the name HR Builders existed!) while working with my previous employer.
The major strength is the instant response you get: one hour after a meeting, Katrien is already searching for the right match (I don’t even dare to say how long this took one of her competitor’s…).
Then I receive the CVs, with a personal comment, in my mailbox. The second benefit is that these profiles always correspond to our demands and criteria.
Only a couple of days later we meet some of these candidates, who match our expectations very well, we take a decision and we’re off to go!
First we had two interim managers (in the field of Compensation and Benefits) provided by HR Builders, and some time later we engaged an interim manager DHR, who is replacing me at this very moment.
I’m convinced that HR Builders always works like this!"
Jean-Marie Doumont, CEO ONA

"There were a couple of criteria connected to granting the assignment. HR Builders reacted very quickly and proceeded extremely pragmatically in approach and follow-up.
Moreover, they listened carefully to my needs and demands being a client. HR Builders didn’t only understand the content of the assignment, but also had a good perception of our company’s culture and background, so they could send the right person here.
The selection of our interim HR Manager didn’t only had to do with the correct technical abilities for the job but also with the “match” with our company. They had well considered whether the candidate would fit in our HR team and in the company’s culture.
By adding this extra value, HR Builders has made the difference to me. So I’d say: keep on building it up like this!"
Ivan Smeets, HR Director, Coca Cola Company Belgium & the Netherlands

"Whenever I have to start looking for professional and integer ad interim employers, I immediately count on the help of this young but very efficient company. I met Katrien a couple of yours ago as a very energetic and strong lady, so it didn’t surprise me at all that she founded her own company in 2008.
Nearly from the beginning, HR Builders helped me find the right ad interim HR colleague. At that moment I was looking for a senior HR professional to support me during a year in a couple of European HR projects. Within the same week, she got me into contact with the right consultant.
When I suddenly didn’t have an HR Manager anymore in one of our biggest factories, I could count on HR Builders again to reinforce our team successfully for several months. And even when I asked to find me someone to have some difficult conversations with some employers in the Netherlands, she could propose someone perfect for 2 days support. For me, HR Builders is THE way to the right people!"
Sophie Vandamme, HR Director McBride Western Continental Europe.

"Having to work and to judge over talent in very complex and divers conditions, it is always a professional pleasure to have Katrien‘s competences and approach within reach. Building towards a shared vision and judgement but with a critic voluntarism is one of her typical features!"
Marc Van Hemelryck, CEO Selor

“Katrien is very result driven and client oriented. She is a natural networker and very good in capturing the HR needs of her clients."
Hans Joris, General Manager SD Worx Belgium

"Katrien does not only provide an excellent HR expertise and service, but she also guarantees you a challenging and outside-the-box partnership."
Jan Van Hootegem – HR Director and EC Member of the Vandemoortele Group

“Katrien managed to understand our complex business needs and then helped to translate them into a working business case. She is open-minded and uses structured creativity.”
Claude Bettendorf, Country Human Resource Manager, AGC Flat Glass Europe (used to be known as Glaverbel)

“I have been working together with Katrien for several years now. During this collaboration, three items keep striking me:
1. The great professional way in which she deals with her affairs. Katrien knows what she’s talking about, and if she doesn’t know an answer right away, she’ll come back on it from the moment she will have had the time to figure it out. And in most of the cases, this is amazingly quickly.
2. A client-oriented approach. We, as a company, really feel as if we are her priority. She’s not a salesperson but a businesswoman who manages everything from a win-win mentality.
3. She maintains an open-hearted and a human approach of the problems, which gives her interaction an important surplus value.
I am convinced that we will co-operate with her like this in the future.”
Jan Quisthoudt, Chief Operations Officer & HR Manager AGF Belgium Insurance, Allianz Group

"I learned to know Katrien as a person full of initiatives, ideas and very client-focused. I find her strong in building up and maintaining relationships, but her strength is her ability to see the strengths of others and to let this be the priority of the relationship."
Ann D’Havé, HR Manager Zorgbedrijf Antwerpen

“If you want to increase your Human Resources capital in a fast way, you can always count on Katrien to help you find a very practical and efficacious solution. It is a pleasure to work with her!”
Anne Saveyn, Human Resources Manager Personnel Support, Agfa Materials

"Katrien can very much assess a 'perfect match' correctly and has a more than explicit sense for professional service and partnership. We have collaborated in technical project recruitment and I respect her enthusiasm and passion for HR."
Tony Ceulemans, Operations Manager Chesapeake (used to be known as Fieldboxmore PressPharma)

“Greet Bunnens is an excellent communicator and typically comes up with practical solutions to real problems. Friendly person to interact with. Committed to get the job done.”
