Manager and executive recruitment

The transformation of the world into a much more complex place requires organisations to recruit, develop and keep the talents that will be essential in key positions in the future.

Our expert recruitment consultants will help you to implement this strategy. We help to populate your talent pools, so that your teams have  all the necessary assets to create a durable competitive advantage.

We work closely with you to recruit the talents you need to manage change, define strategic operations, set up organisations and develop customer focus.

The Kenseo approach

The initial briefing is crucially important to the success of the mission.
Our consultants identify the need, including the context, the issues and the profile of the position, in order to define the specifications.

We align with our customers at the earliest possible stage by acting as proactive counsellors.

The consultant and sourcing leader pair draws up a search strategy by producing a list of target companies and identifying the potential profiles on the different channels (job boards, resume libraries, internal talent pools, direct approaches, etc.) where all the profiles meeting the specifications can be sourced.
Each selected candidate meets the consultant in charge of the mission in an individual interview. This important moment is an opportunity to assess the skills, know-how, motivation and personality of the candidates.

This initial approach is supplemented by an application file and a behavioural test (Talent Q, available in 30 languages), which enable us to challenge the consultant’s perception in the interview.

Our consultants are always readily available for our customers and the pre-selected candidates during the recruitment and integration phases.

The follow-up process is supported by tools for the customers and the candidates:

  • recruitment follow-up progress report,
  • questionnaire on the quality of the integration follow-up,
  • detailed summaries,
  • personality test results,
  • etc.
