“Compagnons de Cordée is:
- a time-saver (contact with the job boards),
- a money-saver (negotiation),
- an original market niche (independent consulting),
- independence with respect to suppliers (paid by the task and not by a percentage),
- a way to keep up with suppliers in real time and control costs,
- a consistent budget item for maximum visibility.”

APRIL GROUP – Bénédicte Pouget – Employment Manager in charge of strategy, human resources and communication

Responsiveness – Commitment – Consulting – Negotiation – Transparency

“In a very decentralized group, it is sometimes difficult to implement concrete actions that are beneficial for everyone and adapted to each person’s needs. Compagnons de cordée has saved us a lot of time and energy in leading the negotiations with 5 job boards on behalf of the French businesses in our network.”

ASSU 2000 – Stéphanie Budin - Recruitment Manager, France

Independent – Meticulous – Available – Persuasive – Innovative (in advocating for new suppliers, for example).

“Compagnons de cordée stepped in and helped with the renewal of our media plan. The work it did for us allowed us to optimize costs while also saving time. Indeed, after finding out what our needs are and addressing our (technical, human and geographic) limitations, it went about getting various agencies to compete against each other in order to get the most attractive and ‘personalized’ offer and stayed by our side all the way to the final selection of the agency that best meets our needs.”

APRIL ASSURANCES – Valérie Darmon – Recruitment Manager, France

Innovative – Efficient – Transparent – Professional – Flexible

“Before, APRIL Assurances was in the habit of working with advertising agencies to optimize its media recruitment plan, but without always being sure of making good choices at the best prices. Now, the arrival of Compagnons de cordée has changed things completely by having us first explore the possibility of working with an agency or not, based on our needs, and then looking at our real recruitment problems: target audience, budget or employer image, for example. It does this, above all, by giving us real advice from up close, flexibly and in a constructive and transparent exchange.

The greatest asset of Compagnons de cordée is its broad knowledge of the recruitment market and its actors. We thus have the opportunity as a business to make informed choices in order to optimize our approach to recruitment and to ensure its success with greater confidence. Specifically, APRIL Assurances is breaking new ground this year by creating a partnership with a screening agency in order to find good candidates faster and more reliably.

The combination of the agency’s know-how with ours is serving to mutually strengthen our abilities, which is the very spirit of Compagnons de cordée.”
