Following a thorough tender procedure in 2018, “TELENOR BULGARIA” EAD has chosen “HORIZONS BULGARIA” OOD for its partner for personnel Search & Selection and Outplacement Services.

We used Horizons services to conduct a challenging search for the hiring of a Country HR Manager who would lead a big HR team covering our EMEA operations. We needed the best available on the market and we had a demanding profile in mind. They showed profound knowledge of the talent market and understanding of the complexity of our organization, culture and mission. The person that was placed fitted all our criteria and eventually proved to be a very good hire.

Horizons helped us recruit a number of senior executives (Chief Operations Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, Business Development Manager, Sales Manager) and board members to manage our growth and ambitious goals. The internet media market was literary embrionic at that time and the search of relevant talent required creativity, flexible approach and client culture understanding where they excelled.

We needed a fast reaction from a local executive search partner that knew the market very well and was perceived a credible player. The mission was to help us find a new Country Manager to lead our Bulgarian business, solve critical challenges and grow our operation. Horizons was pretty persistent in delivering a number of short-lists with diverse compositions to guide our understanding of available leadership talent. The search was not easy as there was not a specific industry focus to source from. We wanted character, skills and reputation. The market is pretty small and hence confidentiality matters a lot. They learned quickly what we needed, represented our brand professionally and helped us attract a top leader.

The training Digital marketing for HR professionals has helped me to broaden the vision and strategy of selection, to acquire the skills and knowledge, as well as the tools to reach the potential and proper job candidates. I liked that the discussion was based on real case studies coming from different sectors. Simulation of a decision in specific cases was also included. I would recommend this training to colleagues who are involved in selection process and to those working on the employer branding activities in the company.
The consultants from Horizons demonstrated a great deal of correctness, understanding and professional attitude in our search of Executive Director for our largest division CEZ Distribution generating billions in turnover. Having the state as a shareholder, the project was really demanding and with political nuances as we had to find the best candidate with immaculate reputation to please all stakeholders. A year later, we also trusted them to find a CEO for the Renewable Energy Unit of CEZ Group. Their professionalism resulted in the successful appointment of high level professional coming from another multinational energy player, who became an outstanding asset for our management team.
