Executive search · France & international
The best people don’t apply.
I go and find them where they are: already in a job, in France and abroad. For media, creative industries, startups and scale-ups.

A job ad attracts people who are looking. The ones you need already have a job, and they’re thriving in it.
My method.
I don’t promise deadlines upfront: we’re hiring human beings, and that always comes with unknowns.

What they say
FAQ
How long does a search take?+
It depends on the role and the market, and we’re hiring human beings: I don’t promise a deadline upfront. What I do promise is regular check-ins, and a heads-up as soon as a risk appears.
How much does it cost?+
A percentage of the hire’s gross annual salary. The terms are in the proposal I send after our first conversation.

Yes, it’s a big part of my work: UK, Germany, United States, Latin America and Africa, in French and English.

Sometimes, if I can genuinely add something. If not, I’ll tell you in our first conversation.
