In the recruitment field, two approaches stand out: the traditional method and headhunting. At Homme & Carrières, these two complementary methods ensure tailored
recruitment and a rewarding experience for both our clients and candidates.
Headhunting involves searching for and persuading talents, sometimes already employed, to explore new professional opportunities. This allows us to identify the most qualified profiles to meet our clients’ needs.
On the other hand, traditional recruitment offers a more open approach where candidates directly apply to job openings, thus providing a wide range of profiles and a diverse pool of applicants to meet our clients’ requirements.
Below, find the steps of our recruitment process, renowned and valued by our clients: (All the following content is taken from our ” Detailed presentation of People & Careers “)
