WHY ORGANIZATIONS CHOOSE FILO
The search, screening and onboarding services Filo provides make life easier for its clients. Our unique client-centric sourcing approach is what makes us successful. A match with the culture and ambition of the client is just as important as the required experience and skills of the candidates.
100 % SUCCESS
Focus on quality and personal attention for client and candidate is the key to a successful search and a long-term partnership. Filo has loyal clients: 90 percent placed more than one assignment in the last three years and 100 percent of the vacancies were successfully filled.
INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE
We have an international network and understand the culture, requirements and developments of our clients in the manufacturing industry. As a result, we find candidates faster and our matches are more successful. We do this for positions in the Netherlands and abroad.
ALL DISCIPLINES
Filo focuses on permanent and interim positions for all disciplines, such as General Management, Operations, Marketing & Sales, Finance and Supply Chain and Procurement, for which at least higher professional education or university level and 10 years of work experience are required.
EXECUTIVE SEARCH
Successful organizations place different demands on the competencies and motivations of the new generation of leaders. A vacant position offers an opportunity to bring a new dynamic to the organization, new ways of collaborating and organizing. By entering into a dialogue with our clients about the future vision and the desired organizational culture, we are best able to match the experience, personality and expectations of the candidate. This can lead to unconventional profiles or candidates from other sectors who bring in new insights.
INTERIM MANAGEMENT
Filo specializes in quickly placing highly experienced interim managers, project managers, and senior crisis or change managers. The independence of an external manager means a powerful boost for your organization. For this service, Filo works with a large number of interim managers, enabling you to immediately apply the right knowledge and experience to your organization.
