Our support

Since March, CGF has been looking for an autonomous and organised person able to work in French and English.

Alexandra, a recruitment expert at MisterBilingue, was responsible for finding the best profiles for the company.

After a full briefing with the client, Alexandra was able to start her search (sourcing and hunting 🎯 ) using our specialist tools. Once talent has been identified and has undergone a structured interview with our recruiter, Alexandra 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 up to the point of hiring. 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 organise an initial video interview with our recruiter, so that we can understand their expectations and determine whether their profile matches the client's needs.

Then, as soon as the necessary prerequisites have been met, the candidate's profile is sent to the customer.

The candidate has a video interview with the Human Resources Manager. She is then invited to come and meet the team in person in the offices, before receiving a job offer 🀝

The talent offered by MisterBilingue

Thanks to several discussions with the client and an in-depth search, Alexandra was able to find the ideal candidate for the job: Valentina S., bilingual Sales Administration Officer in French and English πŸ‡¨πŸ‡΅πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Valentina began her career in tourism with administrative tasks ✈️

Having always dreamed of coming to Paris, she decided to move and go back to school to do a Masters in Intercultural Management. Then, she went on to work for a number of companies, including Claridge Champs-ElysΓ©es and Bank Audi France, where she carried out similar tasks: invoice management, customer relations management, deliveries, etc.

Serious and diplomatic, Valentina is also curious and polyvalent, with a strong administrative bent πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»
