We are in Bulgaria.

“When you help someone to find a job, especially after a challenging search, you’re helping them to find happiness. I have had the opportunity to contribute to people’s lives this way hundreds of times, for single individuals as well as within big projects. It was even more valuable when I could guide someone into the world of work and allow them to find their own way.”

“Since the beginning of my career, as a trainee recruiter in a small local Italian branch, until today as the Global Temp & Perm Senior Director, I have always addressed my will and energy to ease the way for people to find their job, to position the staffing service as a value creator for candidates and companies, overcoming the commodity cliché.”

“When I joined Gi Group I immediately realised that a job is not only a job. Working means feeding a family, having a sustainable life and dignity. A job plays a big part in people’s happiness, and once you realise this, you take on a lot of responsibility when you manage anybody’s job. Gi Group has given me this brilliant insight and the opportunity to make the most of it.”

“Supporting people transitioning effectively from one job to another or changing job or career path has an impact on people’s lives, help them to evolve into the best version of themselves.”

“Through Gi Group, when a plant closes, when a company wants to power a person’s employability, when a person wants to evolve, I am there to support them and this makes me proud.”

“Since I joined Gi Group I feel a perfect connection between myself and the purpose of my job and this makes me a better individual.”

“I enjoy creating strong and motivated teams of professionals, training and developing them day by day. It is very fulfilling when you are able to create an outstanding team, with people of different profiles and different expertise, perhaps not the best in knowledge, but the best in passion, in commitment and in attitude. I believe that these are key characteristics to reach success.”

“I remember two wonderful cases, both of them had been rejected by inexperienced consultants: one of them due to his age and the other one because of her gender. When I realised their profiles perfectly matched with the requirements, I included them in the short list. Both of them were hired thanks to their attitude and commitment, developing a brilliant career there. We changed their lives for the better!”

“After several years of experience and working within several businesses, I have found a company in which its mission and values are not simply words. I feel totally aligned with the Gi Group mission – to contribute to the evolution of the labour market and to emphasise the personal and social value of work.”

“18 years ago, I made the decision to change my career path and to use my engineering degree and experience to contribute to the success of companies in a different way. By advising engineers and helping them find their best next career move I have been able to help people change their life and progress in their professional career.”

“Many years ago, I managed to convince one of my clients to meet a candidate who was underpaid and blackmailed by his employer to get his working visa renewed. They decided to work together – and after four promotions and one MBA – this candidate is now the global head of his function – working in the Global Headquarters and living with his family in the US.”

“Gi Group was born from the vision of a great entrepreneur and CEO who genuinely believes in the social responsibility of his company and the ability to change people’s lives for the better. It makes total sense to me and has given me the chance to also make a difference.”

“Increasing job satisfaction and employee engagement has been my life’s work. For the past 25 years I have been dedicated to unleashing the potential of individuals for the greater good, by understanding what motivates people to be brilliant.”

“Being involved in Learning and Development means you have the opportunity to see the immediate impact of a training programme. I will never stop being excited by helping people become better leaders and employees.”

“Gi Group is serious about helping people. Employees, candidates and clients are treated in a compassionate way. Each person’s opinions are listened to and valued, and everyone has the same opportunity to grow and thrive – and that includes me.”

“At Jobtome we strive to reduce Blue Collars’ economic uncertainty by making it easier and faster to find a better job across the globe.”

“My added value in changing lives”: I love to help teams grow, become more autonomous, and go places they never imagined they could go.”

“Gi Group Holding’s impact on my life”: Enabled all of us to impact an even larger number of people and companies with our high-volume sourcing solution.”

“Thanks to a multidisciplinary career and the ability to link strategic vision, organisational culture and digital mindset, I contributed to designing innovative solutions that are able to enhance corporate performance and to improve clients’ and candidates’ experiences.”

“I feel fulfilled and proud every time I have an opportunity to support young people, in utilising their talent and in developing their career path. I have seen them grow up both as professionals and as individuals.”

“By joining Gi Group, I have discovered the unique value of working in a company where my commitment coincides with my ideals: to see people as the driving force for the development of companies, markets and society.”

“I consider myself very lucky as I spent all my career in the Staffing sector, starting as a Branch Manager and growing in different roles both in Italy and abroad. I’ve developed an open-minded approach. This allowed me to help colleagues enhance their skills, clients in finding solutions and candidates in their job seeking.”

“Every day I try to make a difference for colleagues, clients and the candidates I work with. Every time I’m able to support a colleague, or we are able to find a solution for a client, or we find a job for a candidate, I feel very satisfied as we are making a difference for them – this is how we can really change their lives.”

“I really feel like I’m part of a business I can help develop further and I’m very proud of doing my best in contributing to our common targets.”

“Having always worked in the Human Resources sector, I have always thought that my work helped to develop a sustainable labor market attentive to human needs. I have always tried to give an opportunity to all my candidates young or not, qualified or unskilled, that could improve their lives while also improving the results of the companies in which they go to work.”

“Working first in Italy, immediately after the approval of the law on temporary work, and then in Gi Group in the development of the business on a national and then international level, I was able to create new teams, accepting new challenges and managing new projects. It was and still is an experience where I got a lot from many people, working in many countries around the world. But I also believe that I have given my added value in tackling challenging projects, in building and consolidating teams of managers destined to gather the best of the market, teaching them that following already traveled paths could have been easier but it would not have led us to the best result, accepting the challenge of tracing new paths.”

“Gi Group Holding represents an incredible professional journey. An almost all-encompassing experience at times. Choosing this company has had a profound impact on my life as a manager and as a man. Just as Gi asks me to be ready to face the new challenges of the Group and the market, so I ask a lot of myself to try to be a better man every day. And in this continuous search for improvement the choices of man connect to the choices of manager.”

“Every day I wake up very happy and motivated knowing that with the my work and our teams in Gi Group we touch the life, for the better, of thousands of individuals and their families. This is my purpose and the base of my passion working in Gi Group and this HR industry.”

“Engaging, inspiring, and motivating my teams for the real purpose of our job in Gi Group is my main objective when leading my teams in every country I am. Creating historic and memorable moments in the lives of my colleagues is my main source of motivation.”

“In Gi Group, I found a company that trusts, respects and encourages initiatives and creativity. Autonomy to develop teams and projects had a significative impact in my professional satisfaction within Gi Group.”

“I always try to lead by example. From Country Manager to Regional Head, through my different roles at Gi Group, I’ve always tried to create a meaningful and lasting impact. I’ve opened many business units, hired multiple people and I’d like to think I’ve made a positive difference to their lives.”

“It’s fantastic to meet someone after 2-3 years and hear them say the advice you gave them years ago changed their life and career for the better.”

“I believe Gi Group has helped me become the man I am today. I’ve moved up the career ladder, travelled all across the world and had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful people who have helped me grow personally and professionally.”

“Strategy is overrated and people’s lives change through execution. So I have spent my career trying to help people be more productive and successful in achieving the desired results.”

“I believe that Gi Group and those that work here are constantly making an impact on people’s lives. During the pandemic, we reviewed our processes and worked together with our clients to help hundreds of people who were losing their jobs by finding them work with other clients – ensuring they did not lose their income. That definitely made a difference in these people’s lives.”

“In Gi Group, I have found a team that really shares a purpose and brings values to life.”

“Every day I feel happy looking at candidates and clients who have got their dream job or who have achieved their corporate plans thanks to our services. I still remember once I helped hundreds of candidates in the Eastern Region to adjust their skills to meet the client’s recruitment needs within the Oil & Gas sector.”

“I joined Gi Group in 2004 as Chief Operations Officer, and since 2007 I have been responsible for the international expansion of the group. Now I am Head of Eastern Europe. Despite my growing career, I will still never forget the joy felt by my first successful placement, a young welder, who I found a role for when I was a recruiter in 1999.”

“Clients, friends and partners always ask me why I have decided to stay so long at Gi Group and my answer is that Gi Group is simply the best place to work. Your ideas and suggestions are taken seriously and you can bring them into reality. You can create something that did not exist before and in doing so, give happiness to people.”

“I consider myself very lucky as I spent all my career in the Staffing sector, starting as a Branch Manager and growing in different roles both in Italy and at Global level. I’ve developed an open-minded approach. This allowes me to help institutions to shape a better labour market for people and companies.”

“During the first Covid lockdown in Italy I contributed to the drafting and signing of the trade union agreement that allowed all our temporary workers to be paid even during that period. No worker was penalized by the suspension of work, and this has made me proud to be part of this sector.”

“I really feel like to be part of a business I can help develop further and I’m very proud of doing my best to shape an ever more sustainable labour market”

“As head of IT organisations, I always try to identify technical solutions that can simplify my colleagues’ professional lives. We automate and remove repetitive and low-generating value activities from the desk, to allow colleagues to focus on activities where the ‘human factor’ is crucial. So they can continue to generate value for the company, customers, partners and feel much more appreciated at the end of every day.”

“I always tried to match colleagues’ passions, abilities and skills with their professional role and related responsibilities. It often worked. I particularly remember a case of a colleague who was very attached to his role, to the organisation and the company and in a few months led IT Innovation in an incredibly successful way, while at the same time got back positive energy and satisfaction.”

“Even though I only joined Gi Group late in 2020, I already feel part of a team that shares the same core beliefs. This gives me both freedom and a sense of responsibility to fully contribute to delivering real value in our business and society.”

“Moving from one professional family to another, constantly trying to learn from new experiences and from diverse environments has proven to me that to have an impact on people’s lives you need to understand them first. The more I understand, the more I can contribute to change for the better.”

“When I propose to someone new opportunities to develop and progress, when I launch new initiatives at a global level that impact thousands of people, when people thank me for what I’m doing for them, when we celebrate or we humbly learn from our mistakes, I feel proud of being in a Human Resources centred company.”

“I am better as a woman after having my two children, I am better as a manager after being given the opportunity to lead a global position, I am better as an individual as I’ve learnt that my strength is based on collaborating and working with other people.”

“I have always tried to combine technical skills with human ones in order to be able to create the best working conditions both internally and externally. Respect, determination and resilience continue to represent the characteristics that I try to share with colleagues.”

“In my long and lucky career, I have helped many collaborators to focus their expectations in line with those of the company, allowing them to achieve important professional goals.”

“Working in Gi Group has allowed me to experience the most authentic aspects of doing business, supported by strong corporate integrity ​​and a work environment that values collaboration and team success.”

“During my career I have appreciated the importance of my job, helping people to better understand and respect the laws (and the rules) that they could face during their private and professional life.”

“I remember when, after a strong effort on training, I saw my daughter win her first tennis tournament. This emotion will repay you immediately for your time spent on training. Don’t stop, continue to accelerate positive development experiences, as well as learn life lessons along the way. This is an example of changing your life.”

“When I decided to be part of GI Group, I remember that my motivation was to be part of the story of this Italian company that wants to contribute – as a leader and innovator – in the job environment supporting people to find their dream work. Since then, I have also found my dream work here.”

“I feel personally very close to Change Lives as a value, and I built my entire career only working with companies that fully supported (not just claimed) Change Lives as their mission. Changing lives to me means improving, it means growing, it inspires action and it is a crucial and continuous development towards being better and happier people and managers.”

“Without a doubt, the most rewarding aspect of my job as Marketing Leader is to witness people in my team evolve, develop, improve and master new skills that change their professional life for the better. It is my priority to be by their side to support this life change and to establish the company’s continuous learning culture.”

“Being offered such an incredible role, I couldn’t resist accepting and moving back to Italy after a decade abroad. Thanks to this, I haven’t just changed lives in my professional life but in my private life also. I am now closer to my family and to the people I love the most… and this makes me very happy.”

By bringing the F1 approach to business, thinking and designing solutions and products focused both on the short term (next race) and on the long term (the championship)
The key is to provide some value and focus on creating value every day. If you do that, the first value you create is for yourself.
I’ve been lucky to work with people who teach me how to change my life. By learning and teaching every single day of my life, I carry on the legacy.

When I realised that it was no longer enough to try to be the fastest at finding candidates, but that there was a gap in the market to become the first provider capable of creating talents that new clients are looking for.
This has created a completely new stream, introducing the concept of Academy, giving a businessperson a new way of approaching the world of talent and giving the talents themselves the opportunity to access new job opportunities that were previously almost impossible to get.

Having the opportunity to apply 25 years of experience in Innovation, Digitization and Analytics, which in the reality is having the greatest acceleration in our industry, doing my part to build something epic, exactly as it happened 20 years ago in F1 with Ferrari.

Being absolutely sure that attitude and approach can really change and influence lives, I tried with all my might to deliver to the people I had the chance to work with the message that kindness, generosity, curiosity, happiness and warmth can make the difference in transforming the professional life into a fantastic adventure and not just a necessity.

“When I was appointed as the brand-new Sales Director in Poland, it didn’t just change my life. I also pulled into this incredible opportunity another younger member of my former team in Italy, literally giving him the chance to live an experience that changed his existence. He fell in love with the country and kept on living in Poland after I said my goodbyes.”

“In Gi Group, I not only learnt everything I needed to create an amazing career, I also created solid relationships, beyond just work. Through Gi Group, I met my future wife and I had the lucky opportunity to support several friends in finding a new job. The best outcome!”

“Dealing with legal aspects and, today, with compliance, has always given me the chance to contribute to the solidity and evolution of Gi Group’s business, and also of our people.”

“The game-changing passion of my colleagues, especially the younger ones, sustained and kept mine alive! I enjoy working with them and helping them grow.”

“I have been working with Gi Group since 2000. In that time, I have seen the company grow and I hope I have contributed to that growth. I’ve always had fun, I’ve never stopped changing and most importantly, I’ve never stopped learning.”
