Back to original languageAbout Yann
Freelance IT Recruiter, I support companies, startups, and IT consulting firms with their technology recruitment needs (RPO, headhunting, Talent Acquisition missions).
With 15 years of experience in IT recruitment, I have held management and leadership positions at TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES and THE BLOCKCHAIN GROUP, as well as headhunting roles at LHH.
I focus on two complementary areas:
Management and structuring of the recruitment function
- Management of recruiter and resource manager teams
- Vendor and agency management, panel structuring
- Employer branding and school relations development
- Redesign of recruitment and onboarding processes
- Implementation and optimization of recruitment tools, KPIs, and reporting
Operational recruitment for expert and hard-to-find profiles
I have recruited hundreds of technical and managerial profiles in demanding environments, in France and internationally: developers, data and cloud experts, SAP consultants, cybersecurity specialists, IT project managers and managers, and I also have an extensive network of candidates in the industrial sector.
My in-depth knowledge of information systems and key technologies gives me strong credibility with candidates. It allows me to achieve a response rate of over 40% on my direct approaches, well above the market average.
Thanks to an active network of tens of thousands of qualified candidates, I can present a shortlist of relevant profiles in about a week. I have my own LinkedIn Recruiter Corporate access, allowing my clients to benefit from premium resources at no extra cost (€12k).
My goal is to accelerate your recruitment, reduce your time-to-hire, and ensure the quality of hires.
