The right
people,at the right time.

Cadran Talents is an independent recruitment firm. Direct approach, headhunting and executive search to hire managers, experts and executives — in Paris, in Lyon and worldwide. One point of contact, from brief to onboarding.

One point of contact.

Juggling several firms, job boards and middlemen only multiplies the back-and-forth and the duplicate candidates. At Cadran Talents, one dedicated consultant runs your search end to end: brief, sourcing, interviews, negotiation. You always know where every role stands.

Direct approach, no detours.

We don’t post an ad and wait. We map your market, identify the strongest profiles — including those who aren’t looking — and go and win them over. The result: a qualified shortlist in three weeks, with candidates genuinely drawn to what you are building.

We speak your industry.

From tech to industry, from finance to retail, every sector has its own codes, career paths and pay scales. Our consultants specialise by sector: they grasp what is at stake, assess skills accurately and speak to candidates in their own language.

International, for real.

A role in Lyon, a team to open in Lisbon or a director to hire in Singapore? Our partner network covers more than 25 countries. You keep one point of contact in France, and we activate the right people wherever they are.

Ready when
you are.

In their words

03 testimonials
We had been looking for an industrial director for eight months. Cadran put four candidates in front of us in three weeks, every one of them credible. The one we chose started six weeks later.
Camille RousselHR Director, Helios Énergie
What I valued is that they told us no. Twice. On profiles we liked but who would not have lasted a year with us. That is rare, and it is exactly what you want from a search firm.
Yann DelcourtFounder, Atelier Marceau
Thirty hires across five countries, with a single point of contact from brief to onboarding. We never once had to explain our context again.
