What we are usually brought in for

“We are about to hire and we are not sure what for.”

The role is described by the tools it uses instead of the outcomes it owns. We fix the definition before the advertisement goes out.

“Everyone reports to me and nothing moves.”

Founders keep the decision rights long after the team has outgrown that. We map who decides what, and sequence the handover.

“We interviewed six people and hired none.”

Unstructured interviews compare candidates against a moving target. We build the scorecard and the stages that go with it.

“The reorganisation stalled in week two.”

Change without owners, milestones and a written plan reverts. We write the plan and stay on the weekly checkpoint until it holds.

How an engagement runs

Four steps, no discovery call needed to get started.

  1. 01

    Order online

    Pick the engagement, complete the order form and pay by card, iDEAL or Bancontact. You get an order reference and an invoice.

  2. 02

    Prepare

    We send a short questionnaire and review the documents you already have — org chart, job description, plan, whatever exists.

  3. 03

    Work the session

    A working session by video or telephone, or on site in Paris. Not a sales call — the engagement starts here.

  4. 04

    Receive the deliverable

    A written document within the stated lead time, plus one round of follow-up questions in writing.

What we do not do

Stated plainly, because it changes who should hire us.

  • No placement. We do not source, present or place candidates, and we are not a temporary-work (interim) agency.
  • No payroll or personnel administration. Pay runs, contracts of employment and personnel files stay with your accountant or payroll provider.
  • No legal or employment-law advice. Where a question is legal, we say so and you take it to a lawyer.
  • No accounting or tax filings. Not our activity and not our registration.
  • No interim management. We advise; your managers decide and execute.

Frequent questions

Do you place candidates?

No. We are an advisory practice under NAF 70.22Z. We help you define the role, the process and the decision — you or your own recruiter run the search. We are not a placement or temporary-work agency.
