Our Approach

Step by step, led by Yassine, the person you talk to from day one.

  1. 01

    Role Mapping

    Defining the skills your architecture and project phase really need.

    02

    Technical Screening

    Assessing candidates on real PIM troubleshooting scenarios.

    03

    Expert Interview Round

    We run the technical interviews so your team does not have to guess.

    04

    Placement and Onboarding

    Ready-to-hire profiles, handed over with an onboarding plan.

This is

  • Technical assessment run by Yassine, a practicing PIM consultant.
  • Focused on platform-specific profiles (Akeneo, inRiver, Pimcore, Salsify).
  • Matched to your project phase, not only to a job title.
  • Interview scenarios built on your own catalog problems.

This is NOT

  • A volume CV service.
  • A generic web developer search.
  • A recruiter paid to fill a seat fast.
  • A fully automated hiring pipeline.

The Right Specialist at the Right Phase

Many transformation programs discover their talent gap late. The issue is rarely headcount, it is the profile in the seat: a PIM architect who joins at go-live instead of discovery, or a program manager without integration experience leading an ERP-to-PIM migration.

This service closes that gap. We find domain specialists (PIM architects, DAM managers, e-commerce program leads, integration leads, product data governance consultants) and match them to your project phase, tech stack and governance model, not to a generic job description.

Two Ways to Work Together

Placement: we find, assess and introduce the right person for a permanent or long-term role. Team augmentation: a specialist joins your program for a defined period, from 3 months.

Profiles We Place

  • PIM architects and solution designers
  • DAM managers
  • Product data and governance leads
  • E-commerce program and project managers
  • Integration leads (ERP, OMS, middleware)

The Placement Process

Role mapping, technical screening, an expert interview round and a structured onboarding. Timelines depend on the profile and the market, and we agree them in the first call.

Tell us the profile and the project phase, and we will tell you how we would approach the search.
