BIA's new GM: almost complete team change

Cristian Gheorghe, (37), the new general manager of Business Intelligence Alliance (BIA), which is involved in personnel recruitment and payroll activities, says, since he took the reigns of the company, he has almost entirely changed his team. “The payroll department has been completely changed, while the recruitment department has been partly changed,” says Gheorghe. One of the BIA’s most important personnel acquisitions was the appointment of Mariana Vaida (42), who previously worked at the consulting and auditing company Ernst&Young, to the position of payroll manager. The general manager also says that starting next year, BIA could enter the personnel leasing segment. “After we have consolidated our position, we will consider this option.” Temporary employment was one of the leading services provided by recruitment companies last year. Besides recruitment, personnel leasing contributes the most to recruiters’ turnover in terms of volume. Gheorghe has been at the helm of BIA’s operations since June 1, after Marius Balasoiu, the former general manager, left the company in the spring along with part of the team, in order to start his own business, the training company For People.
