The soft skills make the difference; long live the soft skills!
At Les Belles Rencontres, we prefer speaking of exchanges rather than interviews
​
At Les Belles Rencontres, we prefer speaking of exchanges rather than interviews.
​
Our to-do list during an appointment:
- give each person a warm welcome, always with a good smile and a kind look;
- create a climate of mutual trust and pay attention to the quality of the relationship;
- have an open conversation and focus the process on the person's expectations;
- ensure the candidate never feels discouraged at the end of a meeting;
- appreciate at its best the "human culture" of a client to present talents in harmony with its values;
- take advantage of this moment to learn from each person and have a deeper understanding as well as refresh our knowledges about what is at stake in each sector.
At Les Belles Rencontres, there is no "small talent" nor
"small assignment". Each person taking part in a recruitment process gets the same attention, whether it concerns a job of assistant or director.
Likewise, the professional or creative value a candidate can demonstrate is not limited to the fact that he/she is junior or senior.
​
We are strongly committed to give each individual the opportunity to express himself/herself and we carefully review the potential of each contacts established, though it may seem out of place at first sight.
​
Offering a greater space to the experimentation, particularly concerning the creative functions, through the de-institutionalization of the fashion industry is thus part of Les Belles Rencontres' ambitions.
OPEN MINDESS
What about removing the "candidate/company" barrier?
AVAILABILITY
Take and give the time needed to create lasting relationships.
Your organization is growing very fast and is therefore facing pressing operational needs, goes through a period of repositioning or starts thinking about the launch of a new activity?
Les Belles Rencontres can bring you the flexibility you need.
​
As independents, equally passionate about our job and the fashion and the luxury industries, we spend a lot of time in the field. We visit the stores, the creative studios or attend the shows and the major events of the industry to be up with the most recent trends as well as to discover, explore and better understand the universe of the brands we work with.
​
In parallel, we normally meet the candidates at several occasions - and in average, the meetings are longer than with the competition - to genuinely review their projects, offer them a tailored support in their development and prepare them to the meeting with the clients in the best way possible.
The greatest motivation of Les Belles Rencontres is its will to give their chance to talents "that do not fit the mold".
​
We mean candidates that do not belong to the very same universe or whose background is not exactly the "perfect one" and who are likely to bring a brand new vision to a specific profession. We do not want to use the word "atypical" to qualify a profile, as we believe there is no atypical paths but life course and experiences that make us greater individuals!
​
In other terms, bet on personalities despite their path/profile, reveal the potential of the candidates, help them to be confident and convince the clients that they can be pleasantly surprised.
BOLDNESS
Daring to get off the beaten track !
