Agathe HAHN, Recruitment Consultant and Head of the Sourcing division at the Taste RH firm, explains in a few words why she chose to use Mixdata.
Can you tell us about Taste’s business today?
Taste is an innovative, friendly recruitment consultancy specialising in expert executives positioned in middle and top management.
Each consultant is an expert in a sector/role and works together with a member of the sourcing team to carry out an assignment entrusted by one of our clients.
Today we manage around 180 assignments a year for about twenty consultants.
In 2017, “Les Echos” and Statista listed, for the first time, the 250 best recruitment firms in France. Taste is ranked 17th in Executive Search and holds 16th position in the ranking of the best recruitment firms for Managers and Specialists!
Why did you choose Mixdata for your sourcing activity?
First of all, we were looking for a tool that would save us time on the upstream part, that is, the work of economically identifying the leading players in a sector of activity. We also wanted a tool that delivers information on candidates.
For us, the use is twofold, since we have “a company search” on one side and “a candidate search” on the other.
For our consultants, searching with Mixdata is super-fast, and it is a real asset for the client because we can validate the plan with them and show them concretely which ecosystem and which companies we are going to hunt in.
What, for you, are the main benefits of the Mixdata solution?
We get benefits on two levels:
On the company sourcing side:
- On assignments where there is a very strong sector constraint, with highly specialised sectors of activity, Mixdata makes it possible to break free from NAF codes and target much more precisely. For example, when we have an assignment in a sector like “industrial waterproofing”, we can find relevant profiles and companies in very little time.
- We can cross-reference both companies and roles. This helps us better understand, for a given professional expertise, which types of sectors that expertise is developed in, with a macroeconomic view on top.
- It is a useful tool for reaching the direct competitors in a field and finding them very easily, but also for finding the indirect competitors of the company that gives us the assignment.
On the candidate sourcing side:
- The broad search makes it easy to carry out your hunting plan
- Unlimited information on candidates: it is very handy to have a view of all the company’s employees and all its departments, on one and the same company profile
Final word:
In summary, Mixdata has now become an essential tool for a recruiter, and on top of that it is French technology!
