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.

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

After an initial interview with the HR Manager, the candidate will have a second interview with the Team Leader to validate their experience, motivation and knowledge of the company. 🧠

The talent proposed by MisterBilingue

Thanks to several exchanges between Ludovic and Manon, and a thorough search, Alexandra found the ideal candidate for the job: Anisa D., trilingual E-commerce Support Officer in English, French and Italian.

She also had the opportunity to work in a number of customer-related roles in Italy. Anisa first worked in a hotel as a receptionist. She then spent 3 years as a Brand Ambassador at Dior, where she was able to advise and support customers.
