"At first I was impressed by the level of responsibility, but in the end it was great, you feel like you are counted on. I learned a lot and gained both interpersonal skills and professional maturity."
Proud of what we do, we strive to create a work environment which allows everyone to achieve personal fulfilment and to reveal their true potential. Each and every one of us has talents and, too often, these are underestimated.
At Ekkiden, we have devised our management concepts in such a way that everyone is able to express himself/herself and find fulfilment, much more than they would in any other company. We like speed, we like change, we like dynamism. We make progress thanks to our achievements, we don’t care about your age, we are interested in your potential. You say it, you own it. Choose your challenges and make an impact. We trust you, we give you responsibility right away, we help you progress in a modern, dynamic and ambitious environment; and, most importantly, an environment in which some values we really care about are fostered. Welcome to Ekkiden.
At Ekkiden you will find several job categories: consultants, mainly engineers who wish to show their potential in projects entrusted to them by our customers; managers, who exploit their potential by building and managing Business Units comprising the best consultants and the most promising clients; corporate functions, who fulfil their potential and make our adventure possible; HR, Finance, Administrative, IT and Marketing teams; and, of course, the Recruitment team without which nothing would be possible.
The Community Team is one of the major components of Ekkiden's success. An ultra dynamic and connected team that allows the group to develop using the most advanced techniques and tools in the world of events, digital, web and community management.
This Team Community is the group's response to recruitment challenges, through the use of all channels, such as managing relationships with business and engineering schools, participating in specialized trade shows, being present on social networks and producing content, monitoring our many applications and leading the relationship with our candidates. This hybrid team enables the Business teams to gain market share and the group to achieve its ambitious growth objectives by surrounding itself with the best people at the right time and in the right place.
"I was impressed by Ekkiden's responsiveness and the quality of their teams. We have found a very efficient way of operating that allows us to bring a lot of value to our users.."

"The three things that have stood out most for us at Ekkiden are the expertise of their consultants. The ambition of the project, which very quickly became a European project. And their desire for innovation in the processes, in the managerial approach and in the tools used. A consulting firm that makes the difference."

Our clients are demanding, and so are we with those who join our teams.
Besides the candidate screening process, which will be based on personality, ambition, skills and qualifications, joining Ekkiden above all, also involves a willingness to receive training. Just as an exciting adventure requires a compass and a map, being self-sufficient does not mean being thrown into the wilderness with no preparation. To fulfill our ambitions, we need to acquire the wherewithal that our ambitions demand, and this involves placing training at the heart. Regardless of your position, you will be able to access the best-quality training, with hands-on experience and theory offered by our greatest experts. We all share a culture based on exchanging, learning and training. We do not become number One by chance.
Ekkiden Backpack, a key element of the group's employees, is a unique training programme, which provides, through numerous training courses, the information, tools, methods, discourse and all the elements that will enable our teams to develop, harmonise working methods, stand out from the competition and find their way to success. There are 4 paths, the Manager's BackPack, the Community Builder's BackPack, the staff's BackPack and the Consultant's BackPack.
Please note that benefits necessarily vary somewhat by country, location and job.
Ekkiden does not offer work. We offer experiences. You are talented, you have an entrepreneurial spirit and you cannot wait to take part in something that is unique. You are not looking for a profession but for an adventure, in which you will be able to express yourself, to put your ideas forward, to aim high, to make an impact. Ekkiden is perfect for you!

I am proud to say that, at Ekkiden, we always try to offer flexibility, training, and great team members. We try to find the right balance for each employee to enjoy coming to work every day.
What I like best about my job is that I get to work with a lot of people. All of them are passionate about their work and we challenge ourselves everyday. On the way to building Ekkiden’s future, we unleash our potential and we all personally and professionally grow.
Solène CONRAD Head of Human Ressources
Ekkiden project correspond perfectly to what I was looking for; opening a new market from scratch in a full international environment, for a fast-growing company, within a daring team that trusts me, that counts on me and that gives me responsibilities, despite my young experience! More than a project fit, the Ekkiden adventure attracted me by the challenge that would represent. Indeed, without any experiences in consulting sector and with solely an intermediate level of Spanish, I knew that opening Spanish market would appear as tough. Team values, the boldness side of the project combined to the responsibilities implied totally got me in the adventure!
Bastien SAHUT, Senior Manager of the Madrid office
Joining Ekkiden was obvious to me. I have rarely seen such an ambitious and dynamic project. The atmosphere in the offices, the enthusiasm of the teams and the desire for international growth impressed me. I immediately wanted to be part of this project. My role as Head of Business Development brings me to many topics, the opening of new offices, the definition of internal business processes, the deployment of tools and the construction of the training path are all exciting topics that I try to lead at the same time!
Bernhard BAUMGARTNER, Director Zurich Office
I wanted to create this group to live a unique human adventure. To have the opportunity to work with talented people and allow them to express themselves, to unleash their potential, to implement the most innovative and ambitious ideas. Live an international entrepreneurial adventure, where everyone can play the role they want, everyone can have an impact regardless of their age, by contributing their vision, results and culture and where change will be rapid. This group is based on 6 pillars: team enthusiasm, our values, respect for commitments, innovation in processes and tools and unlimited ambition.
Geoffrey BEHAGHEL, CEO
The values of the team correspond to me in every way and I believe very much in the project of offering a quality working environment in Europe for consultants, whether freelance or permanent employed, who want to be part of an entrepreneurial adventure in which they can learn, they can get involved and play a concrete role. You must be a bit crazy to start a consulting company in new technology from scratch, on a European scale and with such ambitions! But according to the first months of Ekkiden, the opening of our offices in Munich, Paris, Lyon and Madrid and the 70 open positions we have... It seems realistic!
Felix UNKEL, Director of the Munich Office
I feel like an entrepreneur, I like to exchange with my clients, to provide them with solutions to enable them to innovate and achieve their objectives. Making a difference in a competitive market with professionalism and quality is my driver. At Ekkiden, I have found the right balance between autonomy, responsibility and entrepreneurship in a clear and well-defined business project, these elements being grouped under the term intrapreneur. The advantages of being your own boss combined with the advantages of being an employee in an international and ambitious group.
