Duration of finding an employee
When recruiting executives in France and Germany, the duration of a search depends on a number of different factors. A search can last six to ten weeks, not including the notice applicants are required to give to their present company before joining their new firm. The usual notice in France is three months, though this is often negotiable. In Germany, it can be anywhere from three to six months or more.
The length of the search also depends on a possible shortage of applications : some positions are harder to fill than others. Another important factor is the ability of managers and their colleagues in charge of Human Resources in France or Germany to accommodate the recruiting process into their already busy schedules. Recruiting takes time for all three parties involved: companies, applicants, and consultants.
Remuneration
The costs of a placement when recruiting executives in France and Germany depend on the degree of difficulty of the respective search. We bill you a lump sum based on the details of a particular mission.
Guarantee
We guarantee the replacement, without extra cost, of applicants who do not meet expectations of your Human Resources in France or who leave their present company before the end of their trial period.
