Our roles, shared by all three practices

From CTO to teams: every role in tech and engineering

Our approach

Our method, in 5 principles

  1. A brief built in depth: context, technical, human.

    Not a job description received by email.

    • A real conversation between you, your Account Manager and the specialist recruiter for your vertical.
    • We understand where your company stands, what the team is experiencing day to day, and what will truly make the difference.
    • We ask the right questions before we start searching.
  2. Qualified profiles, not a CV bank.

    We only present profiles we've actually met.

    • We understand each candidate's trajectory, their motivations and what could make them move.
    • Every profile comes with our analysis, not just a forwarded CV.
  3. An honest read on the market.

    We tell you what the market thinks of your role (salary, appeal, competition), including when the answer is uncomfortable.

    • Regular progress updates, frank feedback on what we find.
    • We tell you what the market really says about your opportunity.
  4. A clear commitment on what we can do, and what we can't.

    We turn down the missions we cannot deliver, and we explain why.

    • If we commit, it's because we're convinced we can deliver.
    • If not, we tell you, and we explain why.
  5. Follow-through and commitment all the way.

    Recruitment doesn't stop at the signature.

    • We stay in touch with the candidate and with you until the end of the probation period.
    • At the first warning sign, we step in.

What we believe

A good hire doesn't show on signing day. It shows two years later.

Our two offerings

A model that fits your situation

Depending on your stakes and context, we adapt: classic success-fee recruitment, or full RPO immersion.

Success fee

Success-based recruitment

You only pay when the hire is closed. No retainer, no upfront fees, we share the risk with you and commit to the result.

  • A brief built together, not a job description received by email
  • Genuinely qualified profiles, presented without unnecessary volume
  • Follow-through through the end of the probation period

RPO

RPO: Embedded recruiter

Sometimes what you need is a recruiter who is a full member of your team, present every day, rooted in your culture and entirely dedicated to your hires.

  • Operational within days, no long training period
  • Immersed in your culture, your tools, your rituals
  • A recruiter embedded in your teams, who presents your project to candidates the way your managers would
