- Data & Recruitment Analytics: Keep applicant tracking systems (ATS) up-to-date and monitor key outreach conversion metrics to optimize sourcing channels.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Essential Skills
- Full professional fluency in both French and English (written and verbal).
- Proven track record in candidate sourcing, talent acquisition, or agency recruitment.
- Familiarity with Boolean search syntax, candidate databases, and ATS tools.
- Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to engage passive candidates confidently.
