Our approach, which is based on absolute confidentiality, consists of several steps that are crucial to the success of any assignment.

Our approach

Stakes and context

An in-depth discussion with the client allows us to get to know the company, its history, its culture, its human resources and its products.

Specifications

The information gathered during this discussion is used to draw up a list of requirements, including a description of the position to be filled and the profile sought.

Search

Using a list of target firms compiled with the client, Progress identifies, approaches, interviews, assesses and selects the candidates best suited for the position. This process is generally carried out by a team made up of a consultant and a researcher.

Analysis

For each candidate proposed, Progress provides the client with a complete file presenting the candidate’s career path, interests and assets as regards the position.

Consulting and assistance

Progress assists the client in the final choice.

Monitoring
