What our consultants say

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

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 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!
DéborahTeam Leader - Life Sciences Division
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
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!
VanessaRecruitment Manager - Madrid Office
J'ai démarré l'aventure Approach People à Dublin, courant 2018. Première expérience à l'international ! Évoluer dans un environnement multiculturel m'a permis de grandir très rapidement, aussi bien sur le plan professionnel que personnel !

J'ai aussi pu travailler 3 mois depuis chez moi en France. Confiance et flexibilité sont à l'honneur dans cette société ! En plus, je peux travailler sur l'intégralité du marché français et même au-delà !

Recruitment Manager
Dublin - 26/04/2017

Pros: Travailler dans un environnement international avec beaucoup de collaborations entre les différents bureaux de Approach People. Cela permet de cotoyer des gens d'horizons différents et d'apprendre beaucoup d'autres cultures. L'environnement de travail est ideal pour s'épanouir aussi bien professionnellement que personnellement.
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.
Dynamic environment, professional approach & open-minded management
24/03/2017

Pros: Healthy & open communication among peers or management. Strong company culture with a motivating rewarding system.Although guidelines/processes are provided, good autonomy/flexibility is given to achieve goals/targets.

Cons: No major cons. While it offers a lot of pros bigger players cannot compete with, Approach People can only miss out on some of the stronger brands' assets.
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 !
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.
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 🙂

Great place to work !
Paris, France - 01/01/2019

The company culture is great, currently working in the center of Paris we always have a good time within and outside working hours! We work on a great atmosphere, there is no competition between recruiters. It feels good to work here ! I would totally recommend Approach People not only for the benefits and rewards, but also for the management. Great opportunities to grow up, I have started 2 years ago as an intern in Dublin and I am currently working in Paris as an International Recruitment Consultant.

Pros: Bonus scheme, social events, management, great culture.

Cons: There is no meal voucher.
Excellent Experience at Approach People
Barcelona, Spain - 07/06/2018

Really Great experience at Approach People! Really nice environment to work in and progress in. The fact that we are all speaking different languages is very interesting and the best way to improve our English. Would totally recommend Approach People not only for the benefits, but also for the company itself (great colleagues, managers and environment).

Pros: Free Breakfast, Free Drinks and Fruit. Amazing office, training, good management
Great Learning Experience
Internship as part of the French team – Dublin, Ireland– 9/03/2015

A typical day at work would be from 9-6, five days a week. I worked as part of the French team, recruiting French people living in France for jobs in France. I would add new cvs to the system, search the database for suitable candidates to match the clients vacancy and would conduct interviews to judge the candidates level of English. I learned how to work as part of team, how to search the database for possible candidates and how to report back to a superior. My co-workers were all very friendly and all willing to help. I most liked meeting new people and learning new skills.
Really good recruitment consulting firm and team where it's good to work !!!
Senior Recruitment Consultant - Dublin, Ireland – 15/05/2017

Cabinet in which individual and collective performances complement each other perfectly. Leaders promote initiatives and empower consultants. We enjoy a freedom in prospecting and negotiation which is very appreciable. We have the opportunity to work for very beautiful accounts and this in any field of activity. The accompanying methodology is highly appreciated by the candidates. To summarise, the only limit on which progress can be made in the society is that which is given to us.
Amazing place to work in sunny Barcelona !
