After a full briefing with the client, Nicolas was able to start his search (sourcing and hunting 🎯 ) using our specialized tools. Once talent has been identified and has undergone a structured interview with our recruiter, Nicolas draws up a shortlist and forwards it to the customer within 14 days. Our support doesn't stop here: our team monitors the progress of the candidate's interviews right up to the point of hiring. A follow-up is also put in place to ensure that the position is taken up as smoothly as possible.

The recruitment process

Once the candidate has been identified, the first step is to organize an initial video interview with our recruiter, enabling us to understand their expectations and determine whether their profile matches the customer's needs.

Once the necessary prerequisites have been met, the candidate's profile is forwarded to the customer.

Having caught the customer's attention, the candidate undergoes an initial interview with the E-commerce Manager to confirm expectations and German language skills.

After this, the candidate was offered the job.
