The craft

A real expertise, and its additional modules.

Gates Solutions is not simply a placement agency. Sourcing is my core skill, the calibre. Everything else has been added to that base over the missions, like complication modules grafted onto a watch movement to extend its functions.

Being a sourcing pioneer means taking the cogs apart to understand processes and tools, exploring with AI, sharing what you find.

01

Complicated hires

Rare or new roles, from the market to the signature.

A search built with you: read the market, identify, confront your expectations with field reality. Direct approach first, and any other useful channel if your search calls for it, with your agreement. AI under control to read what no human can read. I stay until the signature. I work across French-speaking Switzerland: Lausanne, Geneva, Fribourg, Neuchâtel and the Jura arc.

Training

The most advanced training that exists on LinkedIn Recruiter.

A craftsman is known by the mastery of their tools. I have taken LinkedIn Recruiter apart down to the last screw, studied every filter, every operator, every under-the-hood behaviour. People Attraction Theory hands down that mastery.

RecOps

A one-day audit to open up what is possible with AI.

Technical right hand of the Head of Talent Acquisition. Process, tools, AI integration: what runs smoothly, what grinds, what is missing. The promise confronted with field reality. You leave with a plan to close the gaps. And if you want, I stay for the rollout. Continuous improvement, at the pace of the doable, revision after revision.

AI Lab

What shows: open tools, and a portal for my clients.

19 free tools on Free Sourcing Tools, four AI tools out of my Lab on People Attraction Theory, and the Gates portal to work with my clients, Scorecard and Job & AI included. The rest is my own iceberg: an internal lab, systems wired together, custom tools built on assignment.

Speaking

Know-how matters. Making it known matters more.

Everything moves fast. Without sharing, no evolution. 20+ conferences, 9 countries, in French and in English. Former host of Tru Geneva. I speak on major stages and in private corporate events alike: the future of work with AI, organisation transformations, sourcing, LinkedIn, recruitment. One day, perhaps, my own events.

Sharing

Three ways in.

A mission brief, an open slot to talk shop, or a CV drop: pick the door that matches what you want to do.

My door is open.

A hard-to-fill role and need for strategy, lost in the AI-tool proliferation, or just curious to cross perspectives on what is changing in the craft? Twice a week, I open 20 minutes of free video call. Nothing to sell, just human to human.

Probably nothing to offer you right now. But if you still want to share your profile, here is the place, in a clean GDPR setup. Not by email, not by LinkedIn message.
