Candidate profile of the month
Personal data:
Name: G.C.
Address: Bucharest, Romania
Motivation:
G. is very motivated by joining a multinational
company with strong values. Her need to find a
new job is given by the moving of the activity of
her current employer in the Czech Republic.

areas such as HR, Legal and Business Administration. She holds a cross-functional position,
being responsible of the company’s HR and administration activities, payroll, recruitment,
collective dismissal etc. G. can cover a various pool of positions inside a company and for a
mid-size one even act as an Administrator, having the necessary competencies of overseeing
the performance of an entire company.
Short summary of actual experience:
G. started her career as GM Assistant at a very important company in the real estate
industry, position in which she could use her French knowledge abilities. After one year, she
applied for an HR Director position at a casino. There she took on all the employees’ contracts
and the contracts for expats (over 300 employees). She managed all of payroll and also
handled the recruitment (the casino had a big personnel fluctuation).
Wishing to develop further, G. applied for an HR Analyst position within an important retail
multinational company, where she spent the next 13 years.
Being a good professional, always eager to develop, she was soon promoted as Chief of the
HR & Business Administration Department. At that moment the company had in Romania
multiple working stations with more than 150 employees. The company decided to sell the
stations and only keep the Bucharest office. G. was the one who deal with everything the sale
implied.
In 2002 G was promoted to the HR/Legal/Business Administration senior manager position
and was the legal representative of the company in Romania. Her responsibilities at this point
covered: Recruitment, Staff management, communication and support, Payroll and
administration, HRD and Training, Performance management, HR Legal Compliance/Reporting,
Budgeting, Business - Legal Management and Business Administration.
In 2009 - 2010, G.’s company went through another change, from a limited liability company
status to being a branch office. G. was in charge of the business transfer (regarding
contracts, employees transfer, fiscal changes and implementations).
When the Group decided to have different lines of marketing for their products and had
people responsible for each category, G. was the one who offered them the administrative
support they needed.
G. also implemented global processes. She initiated and was involved in a lot of important
projects for her company: paperless project, cost buster project (which saved the company
substantial amounts of money), The “Kid’s School” project.
