Companies working in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector need candidates with specific experience in this field. Recognizing this, Heads & Hunters created a dedicated Retail & FMCG division to offer strategic and customized recruitment for our clients, leading to a series of successful recruitments for Yves Rocher.
True pioneers in botanical cosmetics, Yves Rocher has been committed for six decades to making the best of nature accessible to everyone, with a focus on respecting nature and its biodiversity. At its core, Yves Rocher shares values with Heads & Hunters: humanity, efficiency, and transparency.
With over 200 employees and a hundred stores in Belgium, Yves Rocher needed to hire several people for managerial positions. It was crucial for the company to have a recruitment partner who understood their business context to provide relevant profiles. Our specialization in Retail & FMCG made us the perfect solution!
Moreover, Yves Rocher aimed for sustainable recruitments, reflecting an excellent match between the company and the candidate. We deployed our expertise to find two key sales profiles: a Retail Director and a District Manager, successfully.
💡 The sector has very specific needs, both from the perspective of employers and talents. Our specialization in the Retail & FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) sector, with Jennifer Van Eynde as the Business Manager, allows us to understand and respond effectively to this rapidly changing industry.
Our comprehensive approach covers all levels of the company, from strategic management to operational functions. Through our long-term collaborations, we gain an overview of the entire departments and refine our understanding of the match between candidates and the company's culture, management, and teams.
The positions of Retail Director and District Manager are strategically important, as they are responsible for overseeing regional and national operations and defining the company's commercial strategy.
We used two different methodologies:
💡 Our success in these recruitments goes beyond selecting the most qualified candidates: it primarily reflects our availability and ability to understand the unique needs of our clients and the sector. This ensures a perfect match between the profiles selected by Heads & Hunters and the company's culture.
Open communication throughout the recruitment process is essential. To perfectly meet Yves Rocher's needs, we organized weekly meetings to discuss the progress of the searches, the challenges faced, and potential candidates. This close collaboration allowed us to adjust our strategy in real-time, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for all parties involved.
Additionally, we shared a dashboard with the client, listing key selection criteria and allowing for an objective comparison of candidates throughout the recruitment process. It included profiles discovered, selected, and discarded, along with the reasons for these choices.
The transparent and qualitative follow-up by Jennifer saved Yves Rocher's team valuable time, allowing them to easily track the progress of the mission and see the relevance of the selected profiles.
Our recruitment and selection methodology for this specific sector allowed us to offer a unique service tailored to Yves Rocher's needs. Our network and shared strong values enabled us to find talents whose motivations, functioning, and skills perfectly matched the company's spirit.
Thanks to our expertise and values, we advise the talents we meet to make the best career and employer choices. Our in-depth knowledge of the sector and companies allows us to present opportunities aligned with their aspirations and guide them in defining these aspirations. Based on our discussion, we select companies where they can find shared values and take on stimulating challenges. Our mission is to support them in achieving their professional projects by offering optimal, personalized, and sincere support.
