Select Group op de Antwerp 10 Miles

Select Group has more than 10 different brands. Ten different entities, each with their own character, but all sharing the Select Group values and standards. Ten (and more) different directors who joined the group with their own story.

For the first time since the creation of Select Group, all these brands were brought together. At the beginning of 2022 Select Group came into being in its current structure. With its own logo and website. This was the moment to bring all members together physically for the first time. Most of them knew CEO Bart Gonnissen, but not each other. A missed opportunity. The various directors came together for a two-day meeting in Limburg.

Getting to know each other and learning from each other

‘The intention of this two-day event was mainly to get to know each other better. Everyone knows each other's company by name, but what do they do exactly and what are they good at? On the first day, the focus was on getting to know each other. Each entity had prepared a presentation'.

On the second day, we took the time to listen to each other's challenges: what are we up against and how can we help each other out', CO-COO Jelle Destoop explains. 'We are all in the same group and can certainly learn from each other. A lot of action points have been noted and during the two days we have also gained some inspiration. A successful first meeting.'

3W has been active in Interim Management for over 25 years and has a database of approximately 2000 experienced managers, each with 20-30 years of experience in the manufacturing industry. 3W supports clients by connecting them with the right interim manager for specific projects. Therefore, 3W is positioned within Select Group under the pillar of 'Project Sourcing.'

The experts of 3W have their own experience in the business world, enabling them to assess the needs of their contacts very well, including those of C-level managers at clients and their own Interim Managers.

Synergy with Select Group

'Three years ago, in consultation with Select Group CEO Bart Gonnissen, we decided to acquire 3W," says Patrick Michielsen, a partner at 3W. "We felt that there was a lot of synergy possible with the members of the group. It was very important that our visions on HR services were very closely aligned.'

'Select Group has a clear vision: quality can only be carried by authentic and driven individuals. We at 3W also fully endorse this.'

These synergies have since proven themselves. 50% of requests at 3W come through the group's network. Through collaboration with other members of Select Group, 3W can designate the right person within the group to support their clients with other services. In addition to the need for interim managers, clients have other recruitment needs as well, and thanks to the close relationship with Select Group, 3W can provide the right solution.

In June of last year, Peps Interim took a significant step in their growth story by opening their first office in Flanders. Frederick Doublet and Marjolein Van Parys took on this important task. Companies on both sides of the language border can now rely on Peps Interim for the recruitment of primarily technical workers.

Active since 2005

Peps Interim has been active since 2005. Three entrepreneurs founded Peps Interim to approach the interim world differently: building long-term relationships with clients, emphasizing transparency, and maintaining personal contact with interim employees. With this vision, Peps Interim became a solid player in the sector in Wallonia.

Since 2018, Peps Interim has been part of the Select Group. With this affiliation, Peps Interim could fully pursue further growth. Several new offices were added without deviating from the trusted formula. With seven offices in Wallonia and a well-known name, Peps Interim crossed the language border for the first time in 2023.

New service in Flanders: international recruitment

In June 2023, Frederick Doublet and Marjolein Van Parys opened Peps Interim's first office in Flanders, specifically in Ghent. In addition to the familiar services, Peps Interim in Flanders also focuses on international recruitment.

"The tightness in the job market is strongly felt by our clients, who are looking for technical profiles. It hampers their growth which is a major concern," says Frederick Doublet.

"The pool of available talent in Belgium is extremely small, so it's worthwhile to look abroad. Within Europe, there is still a considerable amount of high-quality technical talent available. Our clients can rely on full support from Peps Interim. We take care of the journey to Belgium, housing, permits, and other administrative tasks."

Synergy with other members of the Select Group

The synergy within the Select Group remains significant, both in Flanders and Wallonia. Recently, the office of Select HR in Mouscron has been integrated in the Peps Interim network. By collaborating within the same pillar, new opportunities can be created.

Synergy is also on the agenda on the northern side of the language border. With the offices of Select HR Ghent and Peps Interim Ghent in the same building, the interaction between the two companies is very swift. "Clients of Select HR in need of specialized technical workers for example construction workers can be assisted by us, and vice versa, we can refer our clients struggling with other personnel issues to the experts at Select HR."

With the opening of the office in Ghent, Peps Interim has expanded its presence to Flanders, strengthening its position as a reliable partner for companies in the technical sector. Peps Interim remains committed to providing high-quality technical personnel on both sides of the language border. Discover more about Peps Interim on their website: pepsinterim.be
