More listening,
less pressure,
better matches.
Working to solve the civil engineering talent crisis by partnering with firms and guiding engineers through their options.
The latest Hires Group division, building real connections between employers and talent for the Life Sciences sector in France.
After more than a decade in staffing, I’ve heard the same thing from so many engineers: recruiters don’t listen, they pressure people, and they prioritise their own goals over finding the right match. At Hires Group, our mission is to change that.
