From childhood to Cameleon HR: let’s talk about your background   

I have always been passionate about many different subjects. It is my divergent interests that made me love the multidisciplinarity of urban planning, the field I studied in my undergraduate degree. It is also what makes me love recruitment. I am always learning more about the different fields for which I recruit, the different companies, and people’s different backgrounds.

I also have an interest in everything that has to do with interpersonal relations. I studied languages in CEGEP, among other things, to be able to connect with more people.

What is your role at Cameleon HR?

At Cameleon HR, I focus primarily on finding candidates. My role is to understand the market and the competitors and identify where the talent is. I spend a lot of time writing personalized approaches to candidates. Each approach has to be unique to grab their attention.

What makes you passionate about recruitment?

I love learning about everyone’s different backgrounds, even more so when I can find them a position in what they are passionate about! It’s second nature for me to start conversations and interact with people.

What is your definition of a good candidate experience?

Honest conversations that lead to a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction on both sides. I value respect and listening. It’s not easy to make the leap into a new professional experience, so my role is to make the process as pleasant as possible for everyone!

In a world without recruitment, what would you have done instead?

I would work in another field in close contact with clients. I like to try my hand at everything, so who knows where life would take me!

What motto do you live by?

The important thing is to be happy.
