Well worth the HR hunt: A headhunter (executive search) or recruitment consultant in France

January 4, 2008

Need to find an executive for your Paris office, or elsewhere in France? For the right human resources fit, a headhunter or executive search consultancy specializing in recruitment in France is an essential partner.

You’re opening for business in France…The executive search begins.

With so much of business going global today, you’ve probably thought of opening a branch office in Paris or subsidiary in France. You may even already have one. But no office anywhere in the world can succeed without the right people. And staffing, always a challenge even on your home turf, can seem a human resources nightmare once you have to cross an ocean. You may not know the local players or their strengths. Even if you can locate someone with the right technical or management skills, how can you be sure he or she will fit in with your corporate culture? Or be able to communicate in the necessary languages? How do you compete with other companies fishing in the same pool of talent? Or decide what salary will entice a candidate without breaking your bank?

Use your head: Find a headhunter specializing in recruitment in France.

The answer is, don’t go it alone. There are a few quality executive search firms in France. But you’ll need to choose carefully. It’s important that the firm focus on recruitment in France, and have been in business long enough to possess deep knowledge on who’s who in business in the area. They need to know who has the skill-set, the personality and language fluency you need. The headhunter you work with must be up-to-date on which executives worldwide may be looking to make a move to a company in France like yours right now—and be able to get to them before your competitor does. He or she should be familiar with going salaries in your industry in France. And you may want someone to help manage the headaches, expense and logistics of relocation. Finding one company in France that is strong in all of these areas can be a challenge.
