They adapt to you, your requirements and are as flexible as needed. They take time to understand the hard skills, soft skills, exact culture fit and to also understand the motivation behind the engagement.”
I appreciate Jocelyne’s straightforward, honest and respectful approach. She keeps a balanced view regarding the interest of her clients and that of the candidates and always strives to find the right balance between both. As a result, the recruiting process is smooth, trustful, and efficient. We were able to conclude the discussions within less than a month for a C-Suite position involving a relocation. I am grateful for her professionalism, her availability, and her sensitivity to what matters to the people involved. I naturally would recommend her highly and seek to work with her, when the opportunity presents itself, to build my future organisation .”
As a candidate it is a pleasure and a reassurance to work with Jocelyne. She is thoroughly professional and has solid industry connections. She has a strategic perspective when assessing candidates and briefs, taking the time and asking the right questions to understand a candidate’s background, strengths and motivations in the context of an important career move. During the process, Jocelyne is always present and available, and works tirelessly to achieve the best outcome for both candidate and client. She builds enduring relationships.”
