Francophone Market Executive Search
France - Switzerland - Belgium - Canada
|
OUR RECRUITMENT FOCUS IN THE FRANCOPHONE MARKETS
EUROPE: Local managers for foreign companies, where the goal is to increase local market share with bilingual French-English or multilingual managers who have strong track records of success in the national markets of France, Switzerland, Belgium, or in the European or EMEA market as a unity.
AFRICA: For French-speaking Africa, ART clients are specially served by ART's Africa Recruitment Practice. For Francophone Africa, candidates might be recruited from Africa or from other French-speaking candidates globally.
CANADA: Francophone Canadian candidates are recruited for Francophone Canadian roles, or for Canadian national or North American regional roles.
- Our emphasis in this kind of search is to find managers who perform well in accordance with the business culture of the foreign company. In addition to being fluent in French and English, ART has candidates in certain industry sectors who are fluent in other European, Asian and Mideast languages, allowing for stronger communications between HQ and the local market.
- Whenever possible, for this kind of search we seek candidates who have worked at their best in this role at foreign firms. We take particular care to try to find people who are accustomed to working in a business model that resembles that of the client company. A person who works well at a top, large French firm, for example, might not be the right person as employee #1 at a foreign greenfield business unit in France.
- Our objective in this search is to find candidates who are sensitive to both the business culture of the home company and to that of the local French, Swiss, Belgian or Canadian customers. The objective is to find a leader whom the foreign company can trust to run their business, while effectively reaching local customers in a way that they will find comforting.
- Searches in Europe might be at the national level, Francophone level, Southern Europe, pan-European level, or EMEA level. Searches in Canada might be at the province level, Francophone level, pan-Canada level, or North America level.
Fast-paced, internationally oriented French-speaking managers for French, Swiss, Belgian, or Canadian firms that need to change their management style to reflect a more outward, pan-European or global management style, in order to compete more effectively global
- Very large French, Swiss, Belgian, or Canadian corporations, medium sized public corporations, as well as traditional medium sized privately-owned firms, that might need to find a change-agent senior manager to help their long range business growth plans.
Foreign managers, some fluent in French as well as English and the local language, who can be trusted to manage French, Swiss, Belgian, or Canadian business units in Europe, Asia, Latin America, North America, Africa or the Middle East
- When expanding overseas, many French, Swiss, Belgian, or Canadian firms do not know where to find local managers who have a high enough standard of training to properly manage their business. ART candidates in other countries, some trained in Europe or North America, have been tested as managers at leading world companies, and they could be the best way for French, Swiss, Belgian, or Canadian companies to expand abroad.
- ART's approach to executive search is to avoid risks whenever possible and to find candidates who bring the best long term benefits to the client company.
- Unlike most recruitment firms based in France, Switzerland, Belgium or Canada, which have to depend upon outsourced recruiters and unclear partnerships with foreign recruiters for overseas searches, ART does 100% of all our own recruitment. We recruit directly in over 100 countries, and we never use any other recruitment company to find our candidates. In this way, we are able to deliver excellent candidates with the same level of efficiency and quality of service that is expected in our clients' home countries.
- We also recruit French, Swiss, Belgian, or Canadian managers outside of the Francophone countries. Most of these managers have strong business experiences in the target area, language and market. Because many of these managers have effectively localized, they often do not require expatriate benefits.
