Background

Seven years building teams, from Individual Contributor to leadership.

Léa Miquet en table ronde

At Brut. I built recruiting from scratch right after a $75M raise: 110 hires in one year, across three continents, from editorial to tech. At W Executive, an HR advisory and recruitment firm, I created the Creative Industries practice and hired up to leadership team level: CMO, CTO, Head of Sales. I also ran HR advisory work there: talent reviews, compensation policy, performance reviews, manager training. Every client booked me again.

Today I work alone, directly with the founders and managers who are hiring: on search for business, marketing, tech, admin and leadership roles, embedded in a team when hires keep coming, or on HR advisory.

How I work

A good brief beats ten interviews.

Most failed hires were failing before the first approach.

Candidates are clients too.

They remember how they were treated, and they talk.

An early no saves time.

Yours, the candidates’, and mine.

A role to fill? A team to structure?

Send me a few lines. I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right person.
