OUR METHODOLOGY
Rooted in craft, precision & care
We treat each mandate as one of a kind, taking the time to understand in depth the scope of the role and the ambition behind it, just as carefully as we explore each candidate’s profile and broader aspirations.
The matches we craft don’t happen by chance. They result from a rigorous, thorough, and deeply human process, through which we assess not only experience, but also potential, motivation, and cultural alignment.
In essence, we connect two ambitions, enabling both clients and candidates to build, together, the project they envision.
Our unique methodology, refined over more than fifteen years of experience and structured around three fundamental pillars, is what makes the difference:
Every search begins by in-depth understanding and alignment with our client. Before identifying talent, we understand the scope and ambition of the role, the context of the organization, and the stage it lives. We look beyond the job description to grasp culture and leadership expectations, to identify professional expertise in our candidates, but also their human fit with the company.
The foundations of our process:
- Conducting a structured brief with the hiring manager
- Analysing business context, culture, and strategic priorities
- Defining and aligning on key soft skills and leadership competencies
- Rewriting and validating the job description to ensure precision and shared understanding
- Establishing and committing to a clear, transparent timeline
We deploy a multi-channel, international search strategy combining visibility, networking, and proactive headhunting. Our approach is borderless, multilingual (in English, French, Spanish, Italian and Catalan), and highly personalized, enabling us to access both visible and hidden talent gems.
Our key success drivers:
- Mobilizing our trusted European network to generate high-quality referrals
- Mapping and sharing relevant target companies for strategic sourcing
- Conducting proactive headhunting in five languages with personalized outreach
- Performing in-depth qualitative interviews using the STAR methodology
- Assessing technical skills, leadership behaviors, cultural alignment, and genuine motivation for the project
- Providing weekly client updates and relevant market insights
- Maintaining continuous, transparent communication with candidates, including structured feedback
Our responsibility does not end with selection. We secure the right decision through rigorous evaluation and structured follow-through, supporting both parties through negotiation, onboarding, and integration.
How we turn a successful close into a strong beginning:
- Delivering focused shortlists with written assessments highlighting soft skills beyond the CV, leadership style, and our recommendations.
- Coordinating and personalizing the interview process
- Conducting reference checks
- Advising and supporting both parties during salary negotiations
- Accompanying the candidate through onboarding, including relocation when relevant
- Holding a closing meeting with the client for continuous improvement
- Conducting a post-integration follow-up (2-3 months after start date) with both candidate and manager
