What works well?
Speed in the early stages of recruitment. You have to take the pseudoscientific psychomotricity tests once a year (what a bargain). When they want to contact you, it's very quick! At first glance, junior recruitment is a great value. The staff are very polite (when they answer), smiling.
What could be improved?
Candidate follow-up. I applied for a 4-month temporary job with a company, and got as far as the interview with the company's recruiter. Unfortunately, the company contacted Acadamic Works (an agency specializing in juniors), but they weren't convinced by the profiles provided, as I lacked practical experience and would therefore be "challenged in my practical skills". In the end, I discovered that I'd be joining a team and would be directly functional, as they wouldn't necessarily have the time to train me. (I'll skip the other redflags for reasons of confidentiality). So I gave my feedback to the AW recruiter by phone and confirmed that I would give feedback and a decision to the company recruiter by e-mail. Since then I've never received an acknowledgement of receipt of my e-mail from either the company or AW. I may have come across the wrong offer, but I think there are too many complications in the process for a 4-month temporary assignment... I think I've made the right choice...

What works well?
I would say the first answer once the profile is selected for a position
What could be improved?
I should have read the reviews before starting a process with this company. I've had two experiences with them, and in both cases, their recruitment management was deplorable. First experience in October 2023 for a position in Geneva: after several interviews, including a face-to-face one that cost me time, energy and money, I never heard back. No explanation, no follow-up, despite my investment in the process. Second experience in December 2024: very positive interview with a recruiter who assured me of a rapid return. Several reminders from me later, still no sign of life. It's a shame, because on paper, a company that claims to support young profiles in their professional integration is a good thing. But in reality, the way they proceed is a real lack of respect and a waste of time for candidates.

What works well?
I have no idea, since I'm too old to apply...
What could be improved?
Recruitment takes absolutely no account of more mature profiles. Personally, I no longer reply to any advertisement even if the position corresponds to me in every way, because recruitment is only aimed at young graduates... Age discrimination should be banned
