Our Methodology

The methodology of Jouve & Associés emphasizes a customized approach combined with speed in execution, reflecting our consultants' experience and the excellent IT tools and research capabilities of our firm.

We conduct high-impact recruitments using a direct-approach method that is a series of steps designed to identify and attract the best-qualified executives.

The steps of our methodology are summarized as follows:

We acquire in-depth knowledge of our client’s requirements and the company’s structure, products, markets, people and culture.
We submit a proposal for approval that includes a position description and customized search strategy to successfully carry out the recruitment.
Primary research is conducted by our team of research specialists under the guidance of the consultant(s) responsible and accountable for the recruitment.
Only the Partner(s) responsible for the search contact potential candidates and industry sources. The Partners act as the client’s sole representative on the marketplace.
Partners interview and evaluate candidates. They then present the most qualified executives in confidential written reports.
Client/candidate meetings are organized, followed by review sessions with both parties.
Professional references are taken on the finalist candidate(s).
We assist in structuring and negotiating the offer, as required.
We follow up on the candidate’s arrival in the client organization with both parties and monitor integration as needed, particularly during the first six months, to ensure a smooth transition.
