What they say about their hires
Six clients, from the startup building its leadership team to the large company that has hired with us for five years.
We started with the CRO, then the CTO. After that we had to build the sales teams behind them, the sales people, the SDRs. We weren't going to start from scratch with a different firm every time: mad already knew the context, the culture, the bar we set. Eleven hires later, it's still the same person we deal with.
« We've been hiring with mad for four years. At this point they no longer need us to explain what a good profile for Yooz looks like: they know it before we do. When a role opens on a Monday, we have qualified candidates within the week. »
« Our standards are high, and our volume leaves no room for approximation. mad has delivered on both for five years. What makes the difference is consistency: they aren't good one time in three, they're good every time. »
« We had a mad recruiter embedded in our team for several months. The difference from an outside firm is that they were part of our rituals, on our Slack, aware of our trade-offs. We never had to explain the context twice. »
« Our business is a niche market: very few people can do what we do, and they aren't looking for a job. mad didn't try to sell us near-matches. They went and found the right people, one by one. »
« For a company our size, a failed leadership hire costs a year. mad took the time to frame the role before introducing anyone, and only introduced people I could genuinely consider. »

Always listening, from the start of the process to the end, and able to adapt to every change of circumstances: agility, determination and a focus on results! The objectives set are always exceeded, and the close, high-quality support makes the whole experience much easier.
« We hire regularly in our sector, but we needed to find profiles different from our usual targets. mad helped us pivot, in particular to attract a more engineering-oriented population. We met our hiring plans while raising our teams' skills, both in recruiting and in the hard skills our teams have today! »
« Several young, high-potential tech and AI talents hired for our consulting business. A successful targeted search for a Global Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition. Time to hire under control (under one month). Successful onboarding (few or no early departures). Volume and profiles in line with expectations. »
« Recurring hiring needs, sometimes on complex roles. The famous five-legged sheep, as we say in French: the candidate who ticks every box. Hires made on time, with good employee retention and high-quality follow-up. »
« A big surge in activity, and the need for a strategic, qualified and fully autonomous hire, made quickly. A profile who was autonomous from day one and a perfect fit with the existing team's philosophy. »
« Placement of junior profiles (consulting, support functions) and of experienced ones. Placement objectives exceeded, very good quality of candidates. »
« Hiring for IT profiles. »
« We have worked with mad for several years on the hiring needs of our consulting, sales and cross-functional teams (recruitment, HR and more), from interns to experienced profiles (Senior Consultant, Manager). We are fully satisfied with this collaboration. Beyond their expertise, we particularly value the quality of the relationship built over time. Exchanges are always smooth, transparent and constructive, which makes managing our hiring much easier. The firm also shows great flexibility and real agility in adapting to our needs, whether quick changes of scope, shifting priorities or specific requests. Their responsiveness and their ability to understand our challenges quickly let us move forward efficiently, even in demanding contexts. Moreover, mad doesn't approach the work purely as talent hunting: their teams work as true partners with our recruitment teams, helping secure each case and supporting us until the new hire's onboarding period is validated. I recommend this partner for its professionalism, its commitment and its ability to build a lasting relationship of trust with its clients. »
Selim Miled, founder and president of AKYL, Julien Cambron, associate partner at Wavestone, Cyril Dubreuil, managing director of Optélios Groupe, and Benoît Matha, CEO of Eliis, also recommended mad on Trustfolio, with a rating of 5 out of 5.
