What our consultants say
What is better than our recruiters’ opinions to get an idea of what it’s like to work with us?
I have been working at Approach People for 6 years. I started as an International Recruitment Consultant, and very quickly got promoted to Senior, Team Leader and finally Manager.
Since I joined Approach People, I have been trained, supported and coached by management. We have an excellent working atmosphere, really fun challenges and great rewards to win: trips, Louboutins…
I could not have dreamed of a better career development.
Louise B.
Recruitment Team Leader
I started working for Approach People 3 years ago as an International Recruitment Consultant with no previous recruitment experience and have, thanks to an excellent training program and very supportive teammates, managed to become one of the top performers in my team. Approach People allows you to grow at your own pace with reachable targets, in a very fun and dynamic environment.
There is nowhere I would rather be. Thanks Approach People!
Sean F.
Senior Recruitment Consultant
I joined Approach People in 2006 with no experience in recruitment after a short Marketing career. I started as a sourcer and quickly moved up to a consultant position, then manager and I finally opened the Paris office.
I would say that everything is possible at Approach People, as long as you work hard and demonstrate good results, we will trust you. Moreover, the challenges and bonus are incredible!!! Not to mention the amazing trips you can win… Passion, fun, and a great work environment are the words I’d use to describe our work here! I feel lucky! : )
Coralie G.C.
Recruitment Manager
I joined Approach People in 2017. At that time, I wanted to add an international dimension to my job of recruiter. To join an international recruitment agency enabled me to improve my English. I love the spirit of our agency: we work autonomously and we are always supported when needed. Approach People offers interesting rewards to its consultants: uncapped commissions, events, and the Prestige Club! Thank you Approach People for all these years!

Comment on Glassdoor.com
I joined Approach 2 years ago, they helped me with my expatriation, trained me and then my rise in skills was dazzling. At Approach People, we’re all part of the same entity, even across the different offices. There is real collaboration and individual support depending on the issues and personalities of each.
The fact of sharing your daily work with people of several nationalities is very rewarding.
With the covid crisis, we all had the opportunity to work from the country of our choice while keeping the link with the teams thanks to regular meetings.
