“ I’m a firm believer in timing, and Novatize came into my life at exactly the right moment in my career!

From our very first conversations, Émilie stood out for her proactive approach, transparency, and clear communication. I quickly understood why Novatize wanted to connect with me, and more importantly, I wanted to learn more about the company and see whether it could be the right fit.

Every conversation was engaging, thought-provoking, and rewarding. I felt supported while also being challenged to reflect on what I wanted next in my career. That’s what gave me the confidence to take the leap and begin this new adventure.

A few months into my role, I can say that the experience has lived up to what was shared with me during the hiring process. At Novatize, I’ve found a passionate team, an environment where I feel supported, and a real opportunity to keep learning, growing, and pushing myself further.

Looking back, I’m so glad I trusted my instincts and took this opportunity! ”

2. Technical interview:

The aim of this stage is to assess the technical and professional skills specific to the position.

• Questions on the technical aspect of the position;
• Discussion of the candidate’s previous projects;
• Explore challenges encountered, decisions made and results obtained;
• Q&A of hypothetical scenarios.

3. Case study or technical test:

The aim of this stage is to assess the candidate’s ability to apply his or her skills to real-life situations.

• The case study or technical test is sent a few days before the interview;
• Listening to the presentation in the form chosen by the candidate;
• Discussion and recommendations following the case study/technical test.

4. Offer:

Normally, just a few days after the case study is sufficient to give the candidate an answer and let them know if we are going ahead with their application for an offer.

• Video call with the human resources manager and the manager of the position to be filled;
• Presentation of the “candidate package” (salary, benefits, working conditions and much more);
• Questions/comments;
• Candidate package and employment contract sent by e-mail;
• Signature.

“My favorite part of the hiring process was the constant follow-ups from the HR team. From the interview stage right through to integration, I was never left waiting and never needed to follow up. These are normally stressful processes, and it was very reassuring to see that the team had a good structure in place. It immediately gave me confidence and I knew that my integration at Novatize was going to go smoothly. After just a few months, I already feel I’ve found my place in the team!
