Odity's need

To find an Account Manager, Justine D., Odity's Recruitment Specialist, contacted the recruitment agency MisterBilingue.

After a period of strong acquisition and having built a new brand positioning, Odity's objective was to recruit a bilingual German profile ready to represent a top-of-the-range ready-to-wear and leather goods brand.

The job offered by Odity

The role of the Account Manager is to respond to customers' day-to-day requests by listening, empathising, being close to them and offering advice.

The profile we are looking for must meet the following criteria:

  • Bilingual in German and French πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡«πŸ‡·
  • Have experience in the world of fashion and leather goods
  • Have a strong sense of service 🀲
  • Be comfortable using IT tools πŸ–₯️
  • Ability to listen and initiative

Our support

Since December, Odity has been looking for someone to act as a brand ambassador in the back office.

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

After a full briefing with the client, Anaelle can begin her search (sourcing and hunting 🎯 ) using our specialist tools. Once talent has been identified and interviewed by our recruiter, Anaelle 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 just one interview with the company's Recruitment Manager, the candidate was quickly offered a job at Odity. 🀝

The talent proposed by MisterBilingue

Thanks to several exchanges with the customer, as well as a thorough search, Anaelle found the ideal candidate for the job: Agathe K., Trilingual Customer Manager in German, French and English πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡¨πŸ‡΅πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Immersed in a multicultural environment from an early age, Agathe spent her secondary school years in Prague 🌍

She returned to France and obtained a BaccalaurΓ©at LittΓ©raire specialising in English, with an European German β€œGood” mention. Agathe then worked as an au pair in Germany for a year to improve her German. She then resumed her studies and obtained a double degree in Franco-German Intercultural Studies.

Agathe is a calm, warm-hearted person who wants to continue to develop in a multicultural environment πŸ§˜πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
