How it works
From the first call to the signed contract, we handle everything.
We scope the role
15 minutes on the phone to define the role and the team.
We start with the community
Our talent pool and community first, a wider search if needed. Every name goes through our 4 checks.
You receive your shortlist
3 to 5 pre-qualified profiles, ready to meet.
We stay until the contract is signed
Interviews, follow-ups, and a trusted gestoría for the contract.
The 4 checks before a profile makes it into your shortlist
01In Valencia and available
Legal status in order, NIE (or visa). No betting on a vague plan to move someday.
02Languages verified
Native French; Spanish and English levels tested to your requirements.
03Motivation and soft skills validated
They have read your job description and want this specific role. Personality, attitude, everything is scrutinized.
04We have spoken to them personally
An interview with our team before any introduction to you.
Your only role
You delegate everything, except the final decision.
Your managers get their days back and the search moves forward without tying up your teams. You only step in to decide.
Your interests and ours are aligned.
Three commitments, written into the contract we sign.
Paid on your success
We are paid only when a hire goes through.
If the hire leaves, we resume the search
If they leave within the first 3 months, we resume the search and present a replacement.
Terms set from day one
Our fees and commitments are defined before the assignment starts. Nothing changes afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Why not just post on LinkedIn or Indeed?
Posting an ad mostly attracts candidates who are actively looking. We also start by contacting people who aren’t searching but may be open to the right opportunity.
What if no profile is a fit?
We keep searching until we find profiles that match your need. As long as no hire is made, nothing is billed.
Are you exclusive? Can I also hire directly?
No exclusivity. You keep all your channels, and you owe us nothing for a profile you found yourself.
How do you get paid, concretely?
The search and the recommendation cost you nothing. Our fee, a single percentage of the gross annual salary, is stated on the first call and written into the contract before any commitment. We invoice your entity, whether it is Spanish, French or based in another EU country.
How long until a first shortlist?
The first profiles often arrive within a few days. Timing depends on the role and the market, but we always start with our community before widening the search.
A single role, or a niche sector: are you still interested?
Yes. We work on everything from a single role for an SME to a full team for a scale-up. And if we don’t have the right profiles, we tell you on the call or within 48 hours, rather than costing you a month.
What if the hire leaves quickly?
If they leave the role within 3 months, we restart the search and present a replacement, at no charge. It is written into the contract we sign. Our candidates chose Valencia to stay: that is exactly why it rarely happens.
Several roles to fill at the same time?
Yes, that is actually where we are most useful: one client made 5 hires in 3 weeks to open its operations center. Book the same 15-minute slot and mention your volume; we scope everything on the call.
