Our support
Since October, Izipizi has been looking for someone bilingual in English and French to oversee the company's activities in the UK.
Nicolas, recruitment expert at MisterBilingue, was in charge of finding the best profiles for the company.
After a full briefing with the client, Nicolas can begin his search (sourcing and hunting 🎯 ) using our specialist tools.
Once talent has been identified and interviewed by our recruiter, Nicolas draws up a shortlist and sends it to the client within 14 days.
Our support doesn't stop there: our team monitors the progress of the candidate's interviews right through to recruitment.
A follow-up is also put in place to ensure that the position is taken up as smoothly as possible.
The recruitment process
Once a candidate has been found, the first step is to conduct an initial interview with our recruiter to find out what the candidate's expectations are, and whether his or her profile matches those of the customer.
Once the necessary prerequisites have been met, the candidate profile is sent to the customer. After an initial interview with the Head of Wholesale, the candidate will have a second interview by video with the Head of HR, to validate their experience, motivation and knowledge of the company. 🧠
Then, after a third interview with one of the three founders, the candidate had the opportunity to meet with a second founder to conclude with a final interview, confirming that his or her profile was a perfect match for the position.
The talent proposed by MisterBilingue
Thanks to several discussions with the client and an in-depth search, Nicolas was able to find the ideal candidate for the job: Shelley B., bilingual Sales Manager in French and English 🇨🇵🇬🇧
Shelley completed a Bachelor's degree in Business Management at the University of Southampton. 🎓
Shelley has a wealth of experience in international business development. Shelley began her career with the British company OASIS, then worked for the RIVER ISLAND brand and then for ManoMano. These last two experiences also enabled her to learn how to manage a team.
