    We've helped our clients reach their goals.

    • “Mihaela was a key player in the creation and launch of an off-shore Shared Services Center, demonstrating great flexibility and open-mindedness. This was a green-field project, where the entire organization needed to be planned, created, and supported on an extremely tight schedule.

      It was a real pleasure working with her and she leaves an impressive accomplishment behind her. Her “joie-de-vivre” and dedication were invaluable.

      Mihaela has a great attitude and was highly appreciated and respected by her colleagues, internal clients, and other sites collaborators.

      She contributed to breaking the silos between functions through the initiative of organizing joint meetings, shared office spaces, and social events.

      The project had very ambitious deadlines, with little time to think and immediate actions required. Mihaela excelled in demonstrating commitment to excellence by meeting the deadlines without compromising on quality.

      She provided valuable insights in developing the Comp Grid for the new Center, including studies from Towers Watson.

      Mihaela handled several global mobility aspects for our expats and learned the local statutory regulations to get things solved promptly and adequately.

      She was also instrumental in assisting with the deployment of our Workday HR Platform in the new Center.”

      Senior Vice President Finance
    • « En tant que Vice-président aux opérations, j’ai eu l’opportunité de collaborer avec plusieurs firmes de recrutement au fil des années. Toutefois, peu d’entre elles se démarquent avec autant de clarté et de constance que HLC Talent.

      Ce qui distingue HLC, c’est avant tout son approche personnalisée. Chaque mandat est traité avec une attention méticuleuse aux besoins spécifiques de l’organisation, à sa culture et aux dynamiques humaines qui la composent. Cette capacité à cerner les enjeux au-delà des simples compétences techniques est, selon moi, la marque des grands professionnels du recrutement.

      À cela s’ajoute une efficience remarquable. Les processus sont fluides, bien structurés et orientés vers des résultats concrets. Les candidatures proposées sont toujours pertinentes, bien ciblées et démontrent une compréhension fine des profils recherchés.

      Le suivi est rigoureux, transparent et empreint d’un grand professionnalisme.

      Je recommande donc HLC sans réserve à toute organisation souhaitant s’entourer d’un partenaire stratégique en acquisition de talents. Leur expertise, leur rigueur et leur sens du service en font un allié précieux dans un marché de l’emploi en constante évolution. »

      Vice-président aux opérations
    • “We had been looking for a long time for a local recruiting agency that could support us in our specialized searches in Operations and Manufacturing. We were extremely pleased to partner with Mihaela and HLC Talent a year ago.

      Given her technical background, Mihaela quickly and thoroughly understood our recruiting needs and was able to build strong connections with the Hiring Managers, helping them attract top talent to the organization.

      She filled some very challenging roles for us. She was very thorough in her approach and gave us the confidence that we were truly getting the best candidates the market could offer.

      She also proved to be very resilient, never hesitating to turn around and restart a search from scratch when needed.

      If you need a reliable, invested partner for your growth, Mihaela is your top choice in recruitment.”

      Human Resources Manager
