Exploratory meetings

At La tête chercheuse, we’re continually meeting professionals with interesting profiles. These exploratory meetings allow us to get to know them, pinpoint their underlying motives, and help them determine what kind of corporate culture suits them best.

It’s a unique and proactive method that gives us a better understanding of the market. It’s proven to be particularly effective: 42% of placed candidates come from exploratory meetings.

Human data

Data is king. That’s why we maintain a database of about 25,000 professionals – enough data to paint a complete and accurate picture of the evolution of talent in the industries we cover. This unique database is just one of the tools we use to find the perfect candidates, and quickly.
The art of gathering data: Boolean searches, social media, market research: no stones are left unturned to find the right candidates.

The strength of a team

Our team is made up of professionals with varied backgrounds, picked from the fields where we recruit. We approach every mandate with complementary points of view and perspectives, and always with a solid understanding of that industry. The team brings to the table both business smarts and a personal connection with the most sought-after talent.

Our compensation model without commission also promotes information sharing, which ultimately benefits our clients. When you meet a headhunter, you’re opening yourself up to a world of opportunity.

Creativity at the service of talent

Sometimes, in order to recruit well, you have to think outside the box, and for that we offer innovative solutions. As an example, we can help you understand the market or your employer brand’s perception. We can analyze the market and present the talent for a role in your team through our sourcing services. Or we can offer scouting services: active talent monitoring to encourage continuous meetings and stay connected with the best. We can simply be the extension of your human resources department to allow you to focus on your organizational challenges. And why not support you in the search for a new business partner to grow your organization?
