To become a recruitment consultant, a Bac+4 or Bac+5 degree is required. There are various courses to choose from, but one of the most popular is a Master's in Human Resources Management. Those with a Master's in Psychology or Social Sciences can also work as a recruitment consultant. Recruitment consultancy firms generally look for consultants with several years of experience, well-connected and well-informed in the region they operate in, and knowledgeable about the economic environment in which they operate. Recruitment consultants usually start their work as recruitment officers.

Recruitment consultants or headhunters have many tasks within a company. First, they must select candidates for the companies that use their services, their clients. But this mission is only the tip of the iceberg. They must perform commercial functions and prospect for new clients for their company. In direct collaboration with the client company's HR director, they must define the position to be filled, draft and post the offers they are looking for in candidates, preferably the best and most promising in the field. Recruitment consultants then take the time to conduct skills assessments and make large selections before moving on to on-site or remote interviews. As the first filter in recruitment, they only present their clients with the two or three best candidates to hire. They may also accompany the candidate during the probationary period to observe their professional development.

There are several reasons why a company may use a recruitment firm: • To save time and money: the recruitment process is a long and costly operation, especially if the company needs to hire many employees at once or search for rare profiles. • To access a network of candidates: a recruitment consultant often has a network of potential candidates that they can recommend to the company for executive recruitment. • To benefit from the expertise of a professional: headhunters are experienced professionals who know the best recruitment practices and can advise the company on strategies to use to find the best candidates. • To address an urgent need: if the company needs to quickly find a candidate for a vacant position, they can use a recruitment consultant to help them find a qualified candidate quickly.

There are several situations in which a company may use a recruitment consultant:

• When it needs to quickly find a qualified candidate for a position to be filled;
• When it does not have the necessary resources or time to conduct the recruitment process itself;
• When it needs to find candidates for specialized positions;
• When it wants to benefit from the expertise of a professional.

The salary of a recruitment consultant can vary depending on several factors, such as their experience, education, specialization, and the region they work in. According to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), the median salary of a recruitment consultant in France is 35,000 euros per year gross. However, the salary can be higher or lower depending on the circumstances. It is important to note that recruitment consultants may be remunerated in different ways, including as employees or as independent contractors. Recruitment consultants who work as independent contractors may be paid per assignment or a fixed amount, and their salary can vary depending on the number and complexity of the assignments they carry out.

Before starting to look for a recruitment consultant, it's important to know what you expect from them and what you need. Don't hesitate to ask potential consultants for references from previous clients. You can also check reviews and comments left by other clients on online rating sites. Make sure the recruitment consultant you've chosen has adequate experience and training to meet your needs. Before signing a contract with a recruitment consultant, make sure to negotiate the terms of the contract and discuss payment arrangements.
