I am proud to have succeeded in taking up a major challenge: to create an IT pole within the first Manpower firm in France. It was after 2 years of growth and success (Top 5 Region for the year 2020) that I made the decision to stand on my own feet by creating AGILEMATCH. I want to continue to exercise my passion, the “hunting” of penury profiles, to help companies find their future employees. It is thanks to my knowledge of the market and my experience that I will be able to develop AGILEMATCH's activity on a daily basis according to developments in the IT world. You will understand, the idea is to keep a maximum open mind. I like to renew my practices according to the innovations that I identify in the world of recruitment. Also, I am on constant watch of what is done on the European and US market. Hence the choice of AGILEMATCH: adopt an “agile” daily operation in order to create a perfect “matching”!
