👩🏻‍🎓 Emylie DUMONT, her first steps

I graduated from KEDGE, Class of 2016, with a Master's degree in three specialties: Entrepreneurship, Project Management and Human Resources.

For two years on the Marseille campus, I was part of the ACCEDE Provence Entrepreneurs association, where I was in charge of Communications from 2013 to 2014.

ACCEDE is an association that I can only recommend, as it gave me the keys to everything I considered useful for my early career: teamwork, rigor, mutual support, a grounding in finance, business creation and event organization. It was a first step into the world of work that I really appreciated.

🎯 KEDGE, more than just education

KEDGE helped me become what I am today thanks to its system of projects and associations. After 2 years of preparatory classes, it was through my experience on corporate and group projects that I was able to develop my first skills in project management, prospect canvassing, finance, negotiation and so on.

🚀 Mantu, independent leader in consulting for sustainable business growth

I'm Director of Recruitment for the Corporate and Business functions at Mantu, an independent international consulting firm founded in 2007.

Mantu is a consulting and business services group with over 11,500 employees worldwide and sales of 1 billion euros.

Group-wide, we're recruiting 4,000 people in over 60 countries this year. In one working day, I can easily video-conference several times around the world!

Our business is to bring together the best technologies and the best teams to help our customers succeed faster and more sustainably. To do this, we have several brands and 4 different practices, to cover the full range of our customers' expectations: from leadership and the company's raison d'être, to technological and managerial transformation, to the digital experience , while integrating issues linked to the future of work. Our unique positioning enables us to provide our customers with 360° support, making us an independent consulting leader.

🤝 Her role as Recruitment Director for corporate and business functions

My team consists of 30 people, spread over several countries.

Each recruiter is in charge of specific profiles, for both business and corporate functions. Their role is twofold: to identify and recruit the best talent, of course, but also to provide day-to-day support to the managers for whom they recruit, sharing the latest recruitment trends and tips for a successful interview process that reflects our image. We often think of the preparation of candidates, but recruiters also need support to master all the keys!

Every year we meet more than 10,000 candidates, that's about 40 interviews a day!

Above all, we're looking for candidates with a thirst for learning, who are looking for the opportunity to grow and progress, and who are prepared to give it their all.

Open-mindedness is a decisive factor in recruiting our future talents, so that we can offer them the chance to work all over the world. At Mantu, it's not uncommon to come across talented people who have lived on 3 different continents and speak 4 languages fluently.

✨ For the future?

  • My objectives,

As Business and Corporate Recruitment Director, haven't changed that much since the 1st day I became a manager, because what drives me most every day is to support and help my teams grow. I want to help them reach their full potential, develop their skills to the full and, above all, make sure they flourish in their job.

At Mantu, we work on the principle that people will always perform better in a job they really love, and having experienced this for myself, it's essential for me to share this vision with my team.

  • Group objectives,

From a more organizational point of view, the Group intends to pursue the large-scale integration of artificial intelligence within our teams and with our customers. In 2023, we have launched a vast transformation project to encourage everyone to embrace AI, as closely as possible to the uses and workings of each business. Backed by a proven in-house approach, we are now supporting a number of major accounts in their integration of AI, with a range of tailor-made solutions.

On the environmental front, at the end of 2023, the SBTi (Science Based Target initiatives) validated our decarbonization targets, enabling us to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, thus confirming our ambitious trajectory in terms of sustainable development.
