Introduction
More than ten years ago, I founded Agence Carrières, a recruitment firm based in Quebec.
Over the past decade, I’ve learned that recruitment isn’t just about matching a CV with a job offer. Every hire is a human story. It’s a pivotal moment for the candidate, and often a turning point for the company.
Today, I’m launching a new project:
📅 a 90-day challenge, during which I’ll be sharing my learnings, tips and behind-the-scenes insights into being a recruiter and agency leader.
🔹 Why launch a 90-day recruitment challenge?
As a headhunter and executive, I see that many Quebec companies are experiencing the same challenges:
- costly vacancies,
- hard-to-reach passive candidates,
- lengthy processes that scare off the best profiles.
My goal with this challenge is twofold:
- Offer practical recruitment advice to HR managers and business leaders.
- To show the reality of a profession that is often misunderstood: that of recruiter.
🔹 Three lessons from 10 years of recruitment in Quebec
1. An empty position costs more than a good recruitment
Every month of unoccupied shifts generates losses: lower productivity, overloaded teams, dissatisfied customers. A well-executed mandate can limit these impacts.
2. Top talent doesn’t apply
The majority of quality candidates are already in place. It’s up to the recruiter to approach them, convince them and build the relationship.
3. Recruitment is a partnership
This is not a transaction. It’s a relationship between the recruiter, the company and the candidate. Working hand in hand is the key to lasting results.
🔹 What you’ll find in the 90-day challenge
As the weeks go by, I will be publishing :
- true stories of candidates and companies,
- practical tips for attracting and retaining talent,
- strategic reflections from my role as head of a recruitment agency in Quebec.
My intention is simple: to help local companies better understand the value of a recruitment partnership, beyond resumes and postings.
🔹 Conclusion and call to action
Whether you’re an HR manager, an executive or a curious professional, I invite you to follow this challenge.
