Concept Recrutementa successful talent scout.

With two new branches opening in 2020 in Nice and Lyon, this renowned placement and temporary employment agency in the luxury and retail sector, founded in Paris in 2007, is enjoying resounding success at a time when talented candidates are very rare. This success can be explained by the ability of the consultants, who come from successful careers in the brands, to find women and men who are perfectly suited to the needs, with their skills and know-how tested through a rigorous selection process.

Talents with a soul synonymous with performance. " The motivation of the profiles we discover meets the challenges of excellence of our brands," says Mathieu Masclez, director of Concept Recrutement. And this, whatever the function sought, because the recruitment concept is organized into 3 poles: sales; cosmetics, beauty, perfumery; support functions (finance, HR, marketing... general management).

Mathieu Masclez has been running this firm, which focuses on the sales and luxury industries, for three years. Here is what he says about the challenges and values of his company.

Consultants from the field

The firm has a major advantage in that it is made up of experts who have all experienced the retail world. When exploring the client's needs, the consultants focus on the essential points, because they are familiar with the challenges of each recruitment. They therefore address: salary, experience, personality, profile of the team to be integrated, prospects for development, technical qualities. They take into account the candidate's background, qualities and ambitions. By addressing the most relevant questions, they save time for both parties. The firm operates in three areas: sales, support functions and cosmetics. Whatever the field of action, the consultants adjust their search according to the needs: is it a flagship shop, a corner, an outlet or an airport shop, what type of salesperson is best suited, what personality? For head office functions (marketing manager, human resources, legal department or artistic director), Concept Recrutement accompanies and advises brands on their needs and specificities.

Confidence and pleasure

Throughout the recruitment process, transparency is essential in order to achieve success without wasting time and to avoid any false leads. Concept Recrutement applies the same rigorous approach to all positions, whether fixed-term, permanent or temporary. He has a pool of temporary employees who become regulars as they become familiar with the brand, its values and its products. Mathieu Masclez appreciates the fact that more attention is now paid to the personality of candidates: we are interested in the people themselves, in what they can bring to the company. This makes the job of consultant more relevant: sales, he says, is a job where you can make a career, climb the hierarchy, as long as you have a high idea of service.
