What our consultants say

What is better than our recruiters’ opinions to get an idea of what it’s like to work for us!

Je suis arrivée chez Approach People en avril 2018 dans la division Sales & Marketing. Par la suite, j’ai eu la possibilité de rejoindre la division IT, sur laquelle j’avais plus d’affinité. Chez Approach People, la direction est à l’écoute des collaborateurs. On travaille dans un environnement bienveillant et challengeant, qui permet de grandir humainement et professionnellement.
AgatheInternational Recruitment Consultant
I started my Approach People success story in Dublin, in 2008. My first international experience! Working in a multicultural environment enabled me to grow quickly, both professionally and personally! I also have been able to work 3 months from home in France. Trust and flexibility have a place of honour in this company! On top of that, I can work on the French market in its entirety and even beyond!

Si vous aimez travailler dans un environnement multilingue, fun et dynamique alors Approach People est fait pour vous ! J’ai démarré en stage à Dublin, puis j’ai eu l’opportunité de revenir à Paris au bout de 4 ans. J'ai fêté mes 10 ans de poste ! Travailler et faire la fête avec les collègues des autres bureaux européens lors de la Christmas party où tout le monde est réuni est très enrichissant.
ChristopheInternational Executive Recruitment Consultant
Approach People, beaucoup de choses à dire sur ce cabinet ! Outre le côté international et la possibilité d’évoluer sur une zone géographique européenne, le cabinet m’a offert de réelles perspectives en terme de montée en compétences mais aussi d’évolution de carrière. Ainsi en une année, je me suis vu confié un poste de Senior mais également un agrandissement de ma zone géographique au niveau des clients/candidats. On peut y retrouver des consultants ambitieux qui ont le goût du travail bien fait et qui ont à cœur la satisfaction client. Le tout dans la bonne humeur et dans la récompense des efforts !
PârisSenior Recruitment Consultant
I started working for Approach People 9 months ago as an International Recruitment Consultant with no previous recruitment experience and have, thanks to an excellent training program and very supportive teammates, managed to become one of the top performers in my team. Approach People allows you to grow at your own pace with reachable targets, in a very fun and dynamic environment.

There is nowhere I would rather be. Thank Approach People!
SeanInternational Recruitment Consultant
Approach People gives a challenging opportunity to develop your career in Recruitment working across different industries and locations in a multicultural and dynamic work place. There's a great office environment, where we have a great mixture of fun and hard work. In my personal case, Approach People gave the opportunity to join the Dublin office managing the Spanish market and to relocate to Spain opening a brand new office in Madrid, now we are growing!

Good International Opportunity
Dublin, Ireland - 01/10/2018

Pros: Being an International Recruitment Consultant in Approach people Recruitment is a very good opportunity to grow in a multicultural environment. The headquarter in Dublin allows to work with many different nationalities, languages, countries. We work on a wide variety of positions, clients, industry and even countries. Team spirit and fun are there too.

Cons: Recruitment in an agency is not HR, you need to have a commercial approach of your job and be able to talk everyday about figures, KPI's and money.

Advice to Management: The company could develop its Corporate Social Responsibility.

Flexibility and Trust

11/02/2019

★★★★★

Great company that trusts employees by allowing them to work from home. Have been doing it for years and love it. Even though I have had bad months here and there, they continued to trust me in the long run.

Cons: Working from home can be difficult if you are not organised properly. It took me a few months to find the perfect set up in my home and a good schedule to stick with.

Advice to Management: Continue to believe in your staff and to give them the flexibility they need to grow both professionally but also personally.
An enriching experience
Paris, France - 28/04/2017

Pros: A Real autonomy given from the management on our day-to-day work, as long as the results are reached. The working atmosphere is friendly, the management is available , and initiatives are encouraged. The international environment is enriching from all levels: with candidates, clients we work for and even between the different offices across Europe.

Cons: You have to work hard... but it worth it !
Senior Recruitment Consultant DACH
Barcelona, Spain - 06/12/2018

I am working for the company for 8 years now and love my job a lot! First of all the job itself is very interesting and working hard it brings you great results. Those are topped by extra rewards by the company to say "thank you" from time to time. The team spirit is also great: it is very international and people come in every morning with a lot of energy and joy to work through the day. Finally it has to be said that the company aloso offers a lot of flexibility in order to adapt pricate life with work!

Cons: It would be nice to meet the other offices more often but there is a big Xmas party every year where we see each other!

Advice to Management: Thanks for everything up to now! Carry on like this 🙂

Dublin, Ireland - 20/05/2019

★★★★★

There is no such thing as a "typical day" at Approach People - every day is different and dynamic which makes it a very rewarding environment to work in. Management is very approachable and available and cares about every recruiter in the company - I don't feel like a number but like an actual human being that can make a difference in the company overall.
Top 5 best recruitment agencies in Europe according to LinkedIn!

Dublin, Ireland - 19/02/2019

★★★★★

Approach People provides amazing career opportunities to ambitious professionals. What I love about this company is that if you are entrepreneurial and organised, your opportunity are endless!

The managers of the Parisian, Madrid and Barcelona office were all current employees who made their way up, starting as International Recruiter and ending up as Manager of an office!

I really developed my knowledge about the recruitment world but also about the European job market. Being in contact with all the teams in Spain, in Switzerland, in France and in Ireland teach you a lot on the cultural differences in business.

You also get so many rewards for your hard work with quarterly challenges (to win Ipad, TV, Weekend in Europe, Hugo Boss Suit, pair of Louboutin...etc...), the annual challenge (we can travel to dream locations for a week!), the awards offered during the New Year party and finally the commission structure that is uncapped and start from the 1st euro!

I am already flying higher since I join them, and it is just the beginning!Thank you Approach People!
Great Atmosphere, Great Clients, Great Bonus
Senior Recruiter - Paris, France - 5/04/2017

Approach People is special in a way that we can work closely with colleagues from other European offices. And we gather every year for the Christmas party in Dublin headquarters, which is great to get to know everybody. It is very important to work in a good atmosphere to be able to perform in this position and management understood it well by organising events regularly. Workwise, if you are performing, you can double or triple your salary! Also, there are lots of challenges where you can win High Tech products or even a trip to Bali.
It's all about the people at Approach People!

Dublin, Ireland - 01/05/2019

★★★★★

Approach People is a people business and you can truly feel it in the day to day atmosphere in the office.

Intensive training, almost immediate personal accountability, plenty of freedom in execution, as well as tools to succeed.
