Mission difficulties:
First, the search for profiles with a high level of technical skills that are already in high demand in a situation of labour shortage, and in an international context, required to properly structure and sequence our approach.
Afterwards, the sector of activity of our client as well as its technical environment (he was facing complex issues in terms of architectural evolution, technological migrations and mobile application redesign), also accentuated the difficulty of the mission to find the rare pearl.

Means implemented:
A team of recruitment consultants dedicated to the mission has been set up. With the help of the Head of Engineering and the Human Resources Manager, we analyzed the real needs, defined the skills required and the typical profile of the ideal candidate for the position. We refined the arguments of the pitch for the position and developed a complete description to properly structure our international headhunting strategy: list of countries corresponding to the specifications (salary levels, training, etc.), list of foreign companies with similar technical stacks.
A hundred European companies, all industries combined, startups or scaleups, were thus able to be selected and targeted in accordance with the recruitment strategy defined by the headhunting team. We then proceeded to the precise identification of the profiles to be approached within these companies and 700 target candidates were thus able to be contacted for our client in a logic of recruitment by direct approach. These potential candidates were not looking for a job, so it was a matter of pursuing two objectives: seduction and selection.
