Recruit
calmly.
At Cadran Talents, we recruit the managers and specialists who move your business forward. Whether you are creating a role, replacing a key colleague or expanding into a new country, our consultants handle every step, from the brief to onboarding, without overwhelming you with process. We lead searches in more than 25 countries, supported by partners who live there — with 1,200 hires completed for over 180 clients.
Recruitment through direct sourcing
This is our core expertise. We actively seek out the right candidates. Market mapping, a personal approach and in-depth interviews are led by consultants who know your industry. We focus on understanding each candidate so we can introduce people who will make a real difference.
Assessment & support
Assessment complements our search by looking at what candidates actually do, as well as what they say. Structured interviews, practical exercises and reference checks help you make a confident decision. We then stay by your side through successful onboarding.
Understanding your needs & defining the role
A successful hire starts with a clear understanding of your needs. We take time to understand your situation, your team, the demands of the role and your company culture. Together, we write a clear, appealing job description and agree on the essential and negotiable criteria. This prevents misunderstandings later and gives our consultants a precise direction.
Market mapping & sourcing
Finding the right person starts with knowing where to look. We map the companies, teams and people that match your search, in France and internationally. Our consultants combine their networks, databases and referrals to identify candidates who rarely appear on job boards. You receive a clear picture of the talent pool and market conditions.
Headhunting
The strongest candidates are rarely actively looking. We approach them directly and confidentially, with a tailored message that explains what makes your opportunity distinctive. Each conversation is led by a consultant who knows your industry and can answer detailed questions. The result is a shortlist of candidates with a real interest in your role.
Candidate assessment
We assess candidates beyond first impressions. Every shortlisted candidate takes part in structured interviews, supported by practical exercises, case studies or personality assessments where appropriate. For each person, you receive an honest assessment of their strengths, areas to explore, motivations and expectations, so you can make an informed decision.
Reference checks
Before an offer is made, we verify qualifications and career history and, with the candidate’s consent, speak to former managers, peers or colleagues. We ask the questions that matter and give you an accurate, unvarnished account. This provides reassurance for you and shows candidates the care we take.
Negotiation & closing
The final stage is often the most delicate. We support negotiations on pay, terms and start dates, acting as a trusted intermediary between you and the candidate. We anticipate counteroffers and maintain commitment through to signing. Our aim is a confident decision on both sides.
Onboarding & 100-day follow-up
A hire succeeds when the person settles into the role. We prepare their arrival with you, then support the new colleague and their manager for the first 100 days through regular check-ins, adjustments where needed and early attention to concerns. If the appointment still does not work out, our replacement guarantee applies.
