At Spadework, we regularly talk to clients about how they use our tool in practice.

This time we spoke with Johan Bastiaens, co-founder and director at Newpoint Professionals.

For more than a decade, Newpoint Professionals has been connecting engineers and project managers with leading companies in industries such as chemicals, manufacturing, and utilities. The company combines personal guidance for professionals taking the next step in their career with helping clients find the right technical expertise.

“We want to build a meaningful connection with every engineer.”

The frustrations before Spadework

Before working with Spadework, the team faced a recurring challenge: applicants submitted CVs in countless layouts and formats. Achieving a consistent, professional presentation for clients required a lot of manual work.

“Candidates sent in CVs in every possible style. We wanted uniformity for our clients, but converting everything was still completely manual.”

On average, rewriting and formatting a single CV took around twenty minutes, time that quickly adds up when you’re sending out dozens each week.

The switch to Spadework

When Newpoint Professionals discovered Spadework’s CV Transformer, the difference was immediate. The software proved both intuitive and intelligent.

“What impressed us most was that it simply worked, in an innovative, clever way. It’s beautifully built, with more functionality than you’d expect from an entry-level license.”

The rollout went smoothly, though it did require the team to adjust to a new way of working.

“It takes a moment for people to let go of familiar routines, but once they saw how well it performed, trust followed quickly.”

The impact of Spadework

The results soon became clear: smoother internal processes and far greater efficiency. Output quality remained consistent, but the workflow became faster and cleaner.

“Spadework has brought real structure to our process. We’ve saved the work hours that used to go into manually converting CVs.”

That time can now be invested where it matters most; in personal relationships with engineers and clients.

Collaboration with Spadework

Johan is particularly positive about the collaboration itself.

“We’re very happy with the partnership. Responses are quick, tailored to our needs, and every request is handled well. The tool has really been shaped around what we asked for.”

At Newpoint Professionals, people and performance go hand in hand.

With Spadework’s CV Transformer, the team saves valuable time while maintaining the personal attention and quality they’re known for.
