Axelyo recruits internationally – Your partner for international talent acquisition
Your partner for international talent acquisition
Axelyo handles strategic recruitment of international profiles for its French customers expanding abroad, or for international companies setting up operations in France. Knowing how to identify and approach a candidate posted on the other side of the planet, and to do this by activating networks in different geographical areas and using the appropriate tools, requires expertise, developed by Manika Mey, co-founder of Axelyo.
Being able to carry out an international recruitment mission from start to finish is a real challenge.
Manika Mey has been doing this for almost 25 years, in English, German and Spanish, for senior management positions, subsidiary directors, business unit or production site managers, export managers, from America to Asia… ” We apply the same processes as for recruitment in France. The difference lies in our know-how in approaching foreign talent,” she explains. First and foremost, we need to understand the company’s strategy in the geographical area concerned, in order to define the profile of the candidate who will best embody it. Our knowledge of labor markets and cultural differences, and our privileged links with networks that we can mobilize anywhere, make Axelyo a partner that combines reliability and proximity.
As companies seek new sources of growth, international expansion has become a strategic issue for many of them.
Recruiting the right profile !
Recruiting the right profile – whether local or not, but with a good knowledge of the market – is an asset for a French company. Bringing in the skills of experts to bring such a project to fruition will lead to those extra points of growth expected from a stronger international presence.
Sourcing and evaluation of candidates for international recruitment…
Identifying and arousing the interest of a candidate, usually already having a job, remains the basis of headhunting, both in France and abroad. The firm’s adaptability and experience are essential when approaching these professionals abroad. “We have to juggle time differences to conduct interviews by videoconference, from the West Coast of the United States to Asia. A recruiter’s command of languages seems obvious. But “beyond that, to be able to assess and advise, you need to be able to grasp the nuances of the discourse, to have the words to arouse interest, even to the point of projecting yourself into another position, in another country”, explains Manika Mey, who draws on her multicultural and international personal and professional background to serve her customers (process industries, agri-food, sport…).
