Executive search
Executive search is an activity specialising in the recruitment of high profiles for management positions (C-suite, executive committee members) or Experts roles within companies. Unlike traditional recruitment, which can meet broader needs, executive search focuses on identifying high-level candidates, who are often rare and highly qualified, for key positions within the organisation.
Our Executive Search Methodology
Understanding your need
We begin with an in-depth analysis of your needs. This involves understanding your strategic challenges, your culture and the skills required for the position.
Market Mapping
One of the special features of EDOUARD FRANKLIN is talent mapping. We identify the best profiles, often already in post, likely to match your Company’s expectations. This involves analysing competitors, the sector and the talent available locally or internationally.
Direct Approach
We rely mainly on the direct approach, i.e. contact with candidates who are not necessarily actively seeking employment. This requires discretion, persuasion and a good ability to sell the opportunity.
Assessment & selection
Shortlisted candidates undergo in-depth interviews and reference checks to ensure they are a good fit for the job and your company & culture.
Support for the client and the candidate
Throughout the process, we support both the
Company and the Candidates, whether to negotiate the terms of the contract, facilitate the
candidate's integration or provide follow-up after the position has been filled.

In-depth knowledge of sectors and markets
We have in-depth knowledge of our clients, sectors of activity enabling us to target profiles that are adapted to the realities and specificities of the market.
3
Confidential recruitment process
Companies often use us for sensitive assignments where discretion is paramount. We act in complete confidentiality to avoid disrupting the internal organisation or the market.
4
Save time and resources
Identifying, approaching and selecting high-calibre candidates takes time and resources. By outsourcing this task to EDOUARD FRANKLIN, you can concentrate on their core business with the assurance of recruiting the right talent.

Reduced risk of poor recruitment
Thanks to their rigorous assessment process, executive search firms reduce the risk of poor recruitment, which is particularly crucial for strategic positions. The cost of a recruitment failure at this level is high, both in financial terms and for the dynamics of the company.
