Quecto

Why not try a different approach!?

In the world of numbers, ‘Quecto’ is the smallest unit, an infinitely minute scale used to capture the invisible. At Quecto, we apply this same precision to recruitment: we seek out rare talent, those who prove to be difficult and elusive to find, in ultra-specialised fields.

We do not believe in generic solutions. Each search is a meticulous personalised exploration, tailored to the needs of your business. We immerse ourselves in your niche, understanding its codes, challenges and exceptional talents.

In the world of recruitment, as in science, it's the smallest details that can make all the difference.

Everything About Recruitment

As an agency leader, are you struggling to get your team to make as many placements as you would like?
As an agency recruiter, do you want to bill more or launch your own business? Then please read on!

Based on my 20+ years as an agency recruiter I offer a series of training and coaching solutions that will allow you to grow your business.

I specifically look at processes, markets, strategy, training, time management, motivation, client acquisition, sourcing, productivity and negotiation skills.

Do you want to bring your business up to the next level or launch your own business? Why not get in touch for an initial chat to see how I can help. 

Why am I the best person to assist you?

Here’s my story. I have been recruiting since 2004, both in agencies and as an internal recruiter. I have been a Top Biller. I have also been through the arduous process of starting up on my own, failing and then, luckily, succeeding! I have come to a stage in my career where I feel I would like to share my knowledge, to help recruiters or aspiring recruiters in the task of placing people. My aim is to teach and bring a methodology for success. I have a proven track record of helping people in the same situation as you!

Recruitment trainer and coach

Octogone Recruitment

I only place French speaking Oracle freelance consultants with a work permit for Europe

Recruiter

Freelance

I am working on short term recruitment assignments (all profiles, from call center agents up to managers, both permanent and contract) and have also been contacted by ex competitors and other recruitment companies to help them improve their recruitment approach and train and/or coach their sales teams.

Freelance Process Improvement and Recruitment Consultant

ENGIE Electrabel

6 month assignment to help Engie recruit different kinds of profiles at their Benelux HQ. Profiles to recruit were very varied: assistants, (nuclear) engineers, financial profiles of all levels, technicians, legal counsels, etc. Seniority went from junior employees to senior management.
The complexity lied in the fact of recruiting across 7 different organisations with different habits and ways of working, 14 different contracts, up to 9 HRBP’s, and where not all processes were documented;  also the large amount of people to have to recruit (up to 57 at a time).
Working language was French and Dutch using different means of sourcing (in-house and external agencies).

Senior Recruitment Consultant

Aim Bizz

I work mostly on the Flemish SME market helping organisations “do things better”. It’s a catch all phrase as we really cover so many different aspects of company life. It goes from reorganising the whole structure of a department to helping with sales training, to working on mission, vision, values, to improving productivity and/or quality, to improving sales, etc. The list is nearly endless! (We don’t do pure accounting or legal work though).

Process Improvement/Business Transformation Consultant

Touring

Touring asked me to come back and help them hire a series of different people (up to C level) for their Sales and Marketing Teams. I also did some work on hiring technical profiles.
This was a very interesting assignment given the context of the big transformation Touring is going through with their new 2020 vision of becoming the Belgian top of mind brand when it comes to mobility.

Recruitment Officer

This was a short assignment as an in-house recruiter to help Touring during a hiring peak to recruit mostly Call Center and Technical staff.

Maximus IT

Hired to develop the Oracle practice which consisted of only 2 people. Target was to develop both Permanent and Contract recruitment on most Oracle products (OEBS, Hyperion, Peoplesoft, JDE, Core DBA's, SOA techs/Architects, etc).

Spent a lot of time working on defining best practices, how to improve sales results, organisational structure, coaching, etc.

Oracle Practice Director (Recruiter and Manager)

Ntrinsic Consulting

Responsible for 360° business development focussing a lot on the French speaking markets in Europe but also doing business in other European countries, USA and Brazil.

Also had some people management responsibilities.

Some key achievements:

I got 26 contractors running after being in recruitment 1.5 years.
I have generated over 30 million euros turnover in 8 years.
I generate a margin of (well) over 500K euros yearly.

Recruitment Consultant (and manager)

I teach agency recruiters how to bill more.

With over 20 years of experience in the agency recruitment industry, I currently have 3 activities:

𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨: I am co-CEO of this recruitment agency. We place [to be announced soon].

Our main strength? Knowing the candidates in your niche better than anyone else in the recruitment industry, making us best placed to help you find the talent you need.

Our aim is to grow this agency in the future to cover a number of specialised hyper niches.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: This is my coaching and training business. Thanks to my experience over many years as a top biller I help recruitment agencies make more placements and up their billings. This can be by looking at their internal processes, developing management teams, working on strategy, putting into place processes to find leads and then convert them into placements, negotiation skills, motivational training, time management skills and my most honed speciality: how to choose your niche and turn it into a million-dollar/Euro/Pound business.

𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: My solo recruitment business. I place French speaking freelance Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Cloud experts on assignments in French speaking countries in Europe.


If you need my help through any of these businesses, please get in touch! I am more than happy to help.
