Profesio is a boutique agency with over twenty years of experience. Its human resources experts assist clients in creating and building teams that will work in specific and responsible positions. One of the leading Austrian agencies, a member of Kestria, with which Profesio has collaborated on joint projects for the selection of executive (executive) profiles, proposed Profesio’s membership in this alliance of agencies. What is it about, what are the goals of this organization, what are the advantages of membership, and how is the membership process progressing, explain Vanja Horvat, director of the Profesio agency, and Matija Mirković, head of sales development.
What is Kestria?
– As the largest alliance of executive search agencies in the world, Kestria is committed to maintaining the standards and quality of its brand, so the acceptance of new members is not simple. Our business has undergone its detailed scrutiny. Of course, they were also interested in our goals and values. What connects us the most is local expertise and knowledge of the local market, a desire for learning and sharing knowledge. We are a smaller boutique agency and are aware that quality is more important than quantity; high standards in business and innovation are also important. As an agency, we found ourselves in Kestria’s slogan Fluent in finding leaders because such values are also lived by the Profesio team.
What does this collaboration bring to the employment market, especially in the region?
– Kestria’s arrival in the Croatian and regional market with the help of Profesio is extremely important because it facilitates the transition and opening of new offices in Southeast Europe for large companies that collaborate with its member agencies in other markets, and for those already in our markets, it means high-quality standardized service like anywhere else in the world where Kestria is present. We know the challenges we face in finding the right candidates for the most responsible positions in companies, which is why Profesio’s entry into Kestria brings a refreshing change to the market where our clients can count on a true partner to guide them through such an important process. Candidates will also greatly benefit because an agency like Profesio, which knows the domestic market, will enable quality candidates to be more visible to companies, and those with leadership potential will have the opportunity to prove it.
