« The quality of our recruitment is one of our keys to success » Marianne Facon, Head of Internal Growth

Recruitment at AUSY is :

27,000 candidates met in France and internationally in 2012
20 partner engineering schools in France
60 recruitment consultants in France and abroad
Objective : 1 200 engineers to be recruited in 2013

AUSY does its upmost to attract and gather the best talents possible. Our partnerships with engineering schools enable us to respond to our client demands for highly qualified recruits. As a result, we look for the best skills only. We have developed solid relations and partnerships, with over 20 leading schools in France: we intervene regularly in their training programs so that the students benefit from our vast network of experts (development of practical cases and technical themed cases on an operational level) and to inform students on Group opportunities.

We favor recruitment and hiring in various regions. In turn this allows us to find highly demanded profiles, thereby proposing such profiles to our consultants, project managers or technical directors. There are key opportunities in their regions. This demonstrates the Group’s development of such opportunities and labor pools in these areas. AUSY participates in numerous recruitment forums and student events all over France.

The Recruitment process

Recruitment is decentralised in each Operational Department and each region. This way, we privilege a flexible and reactive structure for our teams and also for the candidates, who quickly discover their opportunities.

AUSY follows an innovative recruitment process: it enables the candidate to promote, in the best possible way his/her technical skills while allowing AUSY to make the best profile selection. 3 steps, one in which is a technical test, allowing us to judge a candidate's values and to validate the adequacy of his/her profile in regards to the job offered.

Each manager is involved in the process, right up to the highest management team.

Integrating the Group

« Our collaborators are our first preoccupation and are the object of a personalised follow-up by several persons within the Group. » Didier Lichtensteger, Operational Human Resources Director

The manager: Once hired, each new engineer joins a managers’ team. This manager becomes responsible for his/her career evolution and allocates projects to the engineer in accordance with their skills and geographical zone. Interviews and regular follow-up enable them to measure together the engineer's progress and ambitions, essential for professional evolution programs.

The site Manager: Each engineer who starts a new project is welcomed by an AUSY sponsor. This person is in charge of the site, animates, without any hierarchical link, a team of AUSY consultants present at the client. This site manager will be the reference person for all requests and will provide him/her with key information on how the Group functions. Site managers have privileged access to information. As a result they are the best people for communicating with collaborators outside the AUSY offices.

The HR coordinator: Each engineer is accompanied by a HR coordinator, also detached from a direct superior hierarchy, who ensures the exchange and the coordination of information between all collaborators in the AUSY structure. As a result, the Group regularly organises branch meetings (quarterly) at different client sites, in AUSY offices or during festive events. These meetings often take place in the evening and represent privileged moments, enabling everyone to get to know each other as well as the management and the HRD. Their objective is to favor a climate of confidence and conviviality and a relaxed atmosphere after a day's work.

During inter-contract periods, the Group applies itself to implicating all available engineers in responding to calls to tender and WorkPackage projects : this way they can work on projects outside their habitual perimeter, with different client constraints or environments, which enables them to progress in their skills and gain experience and added value.

The network of experts: The Group also runs a network of AUSY experts, transversal to the different activities, in order to facilitate to a maximum the transfer of skills internally.

This web of relations that the Group establishes with its collaborators at different levels guarantees a hand-on follow-up : it enables us to continually measure their satisfaction and guarantees a strong social link with the Group.

Mobility

The AUSY Group encourages and favours mobility under 2 axis :
Geographical mobility, promoter of « best practices » and exchanges,
Professional mobility, thanks to the development of skills and know-how assured by AUSY University.

Our presence over all of France enables us to respond to demands for geographical mobility. Missions in foreign countries also present themselves regularly for candidates interested in momentary expatriation..

The passage between technical positions to business positions is frequent at AUSY, which opens up new career perspectives for the Group's collaborators.

Lastly, the Group guarantees its consultants a constant training and evolution dynamic thanks to the technical channels for management and personal development that we have put in place: AUSY University. They are trained by experts, with wide experience and familiar with advanced methods and technologies..

AUSY University : growing talent

Over 60,000 hours of training in 2012

Become an AUSY manager

Succeeding and progressing as an AUSY manager is a very attractive calling card : it highlights a know-how, skills and rational qualities recognised by our clients and by most of the professionals in the sector. AUSY managers are responsible for developments in branches divided up geographically or by sector. The "customized" training they follow from the moment they join AUSY constitutes one of the strengths of our Group.

Combining a sense of responsibility and the determination to undertake, our managers develop our business offer with the biggest European players in the Industry and Services sectors. The autonomy that is given them in the steering of operations at their branch is a sizable advantage in favour of the Group's development. This way their energy is spent on the expansion of their activities.

Their role does not stop at the business function however. They also assume the recruitment of new talent, and managing and leading their teams; which implies combining the engineers' and consultants' desires with the clients' needs in the best possible way. Thus they must be very attentive to their collaborators' desire for evolution and professional training.

Our managers come for the best European technical and business training. They follow 3 months of practical training focused on return on experience and conducted by the Group's leadership.

Each "graduating class" includes very different profiles, coming from technical or business training following a first successful professional experience; with a constant: they all want to invest themselves in the business development of a growing company.

Many AUSY consultants, moreover, make the choice of joining the team of AUSY managers and are regularly integrated in these "graduated teams".

Throughout their career, the AUSY managers are accompanied by AUSY University, for the acquisition of skills and know-how indispensable to the right steering and development of their activity.
