Seven steps, one standard: transparency at every moment of your journey.

1

Phone conversation

An in-depth conversation at your convenience, to understand your expectations and present the opportunity we are discussing.

2

Job definition

A detailed job description, so you can consider calmly how it fits your ambitions.

3

Behavioural and/or technical assessment

An online assessment to confirm your strengths and your fit with the opportunity.

4

Meeting

A confidential interview at our offices or remotely, to explore your cultural and strategic fit.

5

Transparent feedback

A structured debrief on your interviews and our client’s impressions, so you can decide with full knowledge.

6

Personal follow-up

Ongoing support and regular updates on how the process is progressing.

7

Guided onboarding

Support and advice for a smooth, successful start in your new organisation.

Before, during, after

Three tools to help you prepare

A recruitment is won as much in the preparation as in the process itself. The methods we apply to our assignments are freely available to you: to know yourself better before you present yourself, then to approach every application one step ahead, with our clients as with any other employer.

Know yourself better

Behavioural diagnostic

An online questionnaire of a few minutes that draws up your profile: your drivers, the way you communicate and decide, what motivates you, what wears you down. It is the same kind of reading we use at step 3 of our process.

  • You walk into the interview with the right words to talk about yourself, beyond the CV.
  • You judge for yourself how your way of working fits the position, the team and the culture on offer.
  • You identify the environments where you give your best, as well as those to avoid.
Take the diagnostic

How you reason

Reasoning profile

Twenty situations from a manager’s working life, two answers each time, neither better than the other. In eight to ten minutes you place your way of reasoning on five axes: your relation to principle, to decision, to method, to uncertainty and to analogy.

  • You put words to how you approach a problem, not only to what you have achieved.
  • You leave with your profile as a PDF, built on your own device.
  • Nothing is recorded or sent: you alone decide whether to share your code with us.
Build my profile

Prepare an application

Application coaching

Submit your CV and the job advert that interests you, ours or another employer’s. Within one to two minutes you receive an application analysis: level of fit, strengths, likely objections, changes to make to your CV, three sentences that will make the difference, three interview tips and ten likely questions. The tool is currently available in French only.

  • You see your application as the recruiter will see it, objections included.
  • You tailor your CV to the position rather than sending the same document everywhere.
  • You prepare the interview around the questions most likely to be asked.
Prepare my application

These tools are free and confidential. They do not replace a conversation with a consultant; they prepare for it. Nothing you submit is kept after the analysis.
