My candidate journey
My candidate journey
Editorial by Laure Michel, Recruitment Director at Wavestone
Our recruitment process is guided by a clear and structured charter designed to ensure a seamless and transparent experience. This charter serves both prospective candidates and our internal teams involved in recruitment, ensuring consistency and excellence at every step.
We uphold a rigorous selection process that reflects our high standards in both technical expertise and interpersonal skills. We seek candidates with strong competencies and the ability to embody our company values. Excellence, commitment, proactivity, teamwork, and enthusiasm are essential. Our goal is to identify individuals who can quickly grow, thrive, and actively contribute to the company’s success and development.
The selectivity of our process mirrors the level of excellence that defines our work environment. At Wavestone, professionalism is at the core of our recruitment efforts: our recruiters receive specialized training, and our methods are built on strong principles. In return, we are committed to offering candidates a positive and enriching recruitment experience, fully aligned with the high standards of our organization.
Our four commitments reflect Wavestone’s philosophy encapsulated in ‘The Positive Way ‘ : the drive to create a positive impact for all stakeholders, especially our candidates.
