Our constructive and human recruitment process!

Written by Mathilde Fontaine | May 25, 2022 9:19:06 AM

Connecting your profile with a need

Once we received the confirmed need or job offer from the client, we look for the profile of the candidate that we need. We promote the job descriptions on the job boards we use, to receive your application and promote our vacancies. You can find us on these platforms, where we track record of every application we receive:  

France

Germany

All countries

HelloWork

XING

LinkedIn

Pôle Emploi

Glassdoor

 

 

 

Discovering you 

After the appraisal of your application and resume, whether you apply as a trainee or permanent contract, our recruiters proceed to the 'discovery call' stage (or as we like to call it, DisCalls).  

A typical discovery call lasts 10 to 15 minutes and the main goal is to have a brief preview of your profile, your availability and your openness to job opportunities, and to introduce you to Ekkiden, our mission and values, the current projects, salary expectations, remote working conditions, our policies and procedures… 

The discovery call is a very important part of our recruiting process, because it is our very first contact with you as a potential future member of our talent pool

 

Making sure everything is clear for you 

It's the time to check if your profile corresponds to the offer, to get to know you better and to learn more about your motivations. If you could fit the job, we schedule a first interview between you and the manager, so that you can exchange and obtain more information about the projects, safety and health insurance, qualifications needed, compensation and benefits, work environment, payroll, company culture… 

The goal behind this interviewing is to determine the fit between you and the job. Afterwards, the manager will follow your whole process, and introduce your profile to the client. 

 

It’s a match ! 

You can be part of Ekkiden by following two scenarios :

  1. If the client is seduced by your skills and profile, you will meet with him/her so that you can discuss the mission in more details. At this step, we see if the harmony is good between everybody involved. Then, the client will give you the green light to start the work. After reaching to an agreement between both parts, the project is won for you, the client, and us : congrats, you are officially part of the Ekkiden workforce! Be ready for the onboarding!

 

  1. If we fall in admiration for your profile, it can be approved without meeting a client. We give you the green light to start a journey together, and quickly find you a project to work on. 

 

The Squads 

You want to get more involved ? In our vision of challenging traditional recruitment processes, we came up with the idea of boosting our human capital by creating groups of consultants who seek to develop on a common topic, and where team members can carry out new projects that allow their professional, personal and interpersonal growth beyond their daily tasks : the Squads

Through this ambitious project, Ekkiden wants to stimulate our employees development through training programs, courseworks and collaboration of every member of our team, regardless of their department or experience. The goal is to offer concrete career opportunities for our consultants to learn and grow in new sectors such as business, finances, or recruitment, while respecting a sane work-life balance! 

If you want to unleash your career development in contact with other consultants and have a real impact on Ekkiden, do not hesitate any longer, and join the squads or create your own! 

 

Wrong time, wrong place… 

Unfortunately, a refusal can happen at any step of our process if you’re not matching our team perspective, nor the client expectations. However, we want you to learn from this experience. That’s why we make sure to give you strong and complete feedback as soon as possible. 

You can also ask us your questions about our hiring process to understand better our choice and improve yourself afterwards. Ekkiden always ensures that everyone finds their way in our processes, whether you become part of our team or not.    

 

Let’s keep in touch ! 

Whatever the response you’ll be given, Ekkiden guarantees you professional and personal development, well-being and total fulfillment in your professional adventure. This is just a goodbye. In the future, we may have a job offer that suits you better, so we suggest that you stay in touch with us and keep following us on LinkedIn where we do regular job posting.
