CvWarehouse

Member Profile:

A serial entrepreneur, Inge founded Inge Geerdens sprl. in 1998. Five
years later, she created Executive Research, the first recruitment
company charging a price per day rather than a percentage of a yearly
salary. Executive Research was sold to a major Belgian HR Service
Provider in November 2008.

Inge started her career in the Accounting Department of Peek &
Cloppenburg (P&C), a textile retail company. In 1993, she started up a
new store for P&C in Brussels. In 1994, Inge became a researcher at
Milar, a company specializing in research for headhunters throughout
Europe. She left Milar in 1996 to become an independent researcher,
helping international headhunters identify the right people to
approach. In 2004, Inge developed the platform CVWarehouse, a spin-off
of Executive Research, to better serve clients and candidates online
and to make recruitment transparent to all stakeholders. Inge launched
this product on the Belgian market in 2006 and created CVWarehouse as
a separate company.

to ease a recruiter’s day-to-day workload and substantially save
companies money. CVWarehouse is easy to use, efficient and serves both
companies and candidates in a fast, transparent, confidential and
profitable way.

Companies link their websites career section to CVWarehouse.
CVWarehouse makes sure that the recruitment procedure is taken care of
and that the job section of a company’s website is always up to date
and sexy. All candidates apply for jobs online and their information
is stored centrally in a structured database with their CV. Using a
candidate relationship management web application, all interaction is
documented so that a company can track who applied for what position
and what has resulted at any time. This history may be viewed from
several angles. The user can see the complete recruitment process in
the context most relevant to them. The candidate can also follow up
the status of his or her recruitment process online, thus providing a
near transparent recruitment process and improving candidate-company
branding. On average, the solution has paid for itself as soon as a
company has hired five candidates in a year.

CVWarehouse has 15 employees and more than 60 clients in the Belgian
market including Cap Gemini, Brussels Airlines, Kraft Foods, as well
as local governments and hospitals. The company is also expanding
internationally, serving recruiter in more than 15 countries.
