Recruitment: Let's meet before we work together!
HR NewsAs a family-owned company, VÊPRES has adopted an original recruitment process by organizing collective "meet-and-greets" with potential talents.
With a highly dynamic activity and numerous prospects, VÊPRES is almost continuously recruiting carpenters for its workshops and installers for its project sites. Deeply committed to the human dimension, the company offers an original recruitment process founded on its core values: encounter, benevolence, and honesty in interactions.
Approximately once a month, the HR department organizes "group meetings" to collectively welcome potential talents (maximum 10 people). The objective is to present the company with maximum transparency. The meeting takes place over a half-day in two stages.
An initial meeting serves to introduce the company, its activities, history, ethos, client base, desired positions, training opportunities for skill development, potential career progressions, and naturally, all 'modalities' related to the process and the recruitment itself. Candidates are warmly welcomed and encouraged to engage in discussions and ask any questions they may have.
The discussion then continues with a tour of the premises and a presentation of a cleanroom model to provide a clear understanding of the profession. A meeting is arranged with an experienced carpenter to explore the workshops and discuss their expertise. Candidates are encouraged to ask any questions they wish, whether general inquiries about working at VÊPRES or highly technical ones; the discussion is entirely open and unrestricted. The technicians, selected from the most experienced personnel, take great pleasure in explaining their profession and working conditions.
Working at VÊPRES: A shared choice
Following this collective meeting, which provided candidates with an overview of the company, its various roles, and a portion of the team, they are free to decide whether to proceed with the recruitment process. Those who opt to continue will be invited for a brief, personalized interview the following day with Marlène COTTET (HR Manager) and a team member. Subsequent to this interview, the candidate will either be offered a field trial or provided with an explanation for their non-selection.
The ultimate goal of this entire process is to ascertain if «we can work together». VÊPRES is a family business, inherently «benevolent», yet also «demanding» and highly vigilant in fostering a work environment conducive to everyone's growth. These exchanges thus allow everyone to get to know each other mutually, without pressure and with full transparency.
We are recruiting!
To date, 7 'talents' have been recruited following these collective meetings, and in the coming months, 7 new positions will be opened, primarily for carpenters and installers. However, if you possess other skills, please do not hesitate to submit an unsolicited application.
VÊPRES regularly publishes its job offers on its website (button below), as well as on its LinkedIn page. The HR department also collaborates with the local employment agency Sud-Isère and temporary staffing agencies. Employee co-option is also a highly valued recruitment channel.
