Francois Barbé
Partner
Biography
As a headhunter, his role consists in helping his clients to perceive candidates in all their human dimension. Expertise and technical competencies are essential, yet it is the personality of the individuals, their values, capacity to adapt and motivations that make all the difference. Finding the most adequate match between a "human personality" and a "company personality" is the heart of his work. He always tries to evaluate to what extent a client is open to broaden the range of the candidates' sector expertise. "My assumption is that talents who choose to leave their current position and activity sector to discover something else bring with them a company logics, a certain professional approach, a methodology that are always enriching to internalize". Graduate in finance/business administration, he started his career thirty years ago in an audit consulting firm. Two years later he was heading to management consulting. For the past ten years he has intervened for the most part in the industrial practice, notably in the energy and transportation sectors (especially air and space), as well as technical services. "As a Sirca Executive Search Managing Partner since 2004, I appreciate the human and professional dimension of my team and partners. I am also very much attached to the quality and proximity of the members of IMD International Search Group, with whom our partnership has been active for over twenty years".
