FEEL IN JOB

As an IT recruiter and finder of great IT jobs for passionate talents, I help developers, architects, leads, DevOps and other experienced or senior tech profiles to find the job of their dreams and top companies to recruit their future talent. I only offer permanent jobs with end customers, on a fully remote and/or face-to-face basis (Lyon, Paris and the whole of France).

I’m highly selective, working exclusively with companies and candidates who are driven by quality, passion and enjoyment of their work. I select companies that I myself would have enjoyed working with if I had been a candidate in tune with the market. I attach particular importance to the vision, mindset and objectives of both the company and the candidate.

Working on a long-term basis rather than on a one-shot basis, I like to talk to valuable tech profiles even if they’re not actively looking for a job, so that I can keep in touch with them, follow their career paths and maybe, one day, ping them to present them with THE job of their dreams!
