About Wilfrid

Talent Acquisition with over 10 years of experience in recruiting highly specialized IT profiles, I work on a freelance basis to support companies in their tech recruitment challenges: sourcing hard-to-find profiles, optimizing processes, pipeline building, and data-driven hiring.

Having worked in both IT service companies (V02 Group), fintech (Worldline), and consulting firms (BK Consulting, Altedis), I adapt quickly to any environment: scale-up, corporate, or volume recruitment. Results-oriented, I manage each mission with clear KPIs and a constant focus on the quality of hires and candidate experience.
