How we strengthened recruitment at L’Oréal
Client
Assignment
L’Oréal is a global leader in beauty tech. With its Talent Acquisition team managing a wide range of responsibilities, from recruitment and employer branding to campus management, and hiring needs continuing to grow, the company needed additional support.
We stepped in with a part-time TA Specialist who took over recruitment for selected roles, giving the internal team more time to focus on other priorities.
Solution
Our collaboration began in January 2026, when our TA Specialist joined L’Oréal’s internal team. She took ownership of the entire recruitment process, from opening new positions and briefing with hiring managers to screening and shortlisting candidates, scheduling interviews, and preparing and presenting job offers.
Her initial focus was on retail roles, including Beauty Advisors for Douglas, Sephora and Kiehl’s, as well as a Store Manager for the Lancôme Beauty Institute. As the partnership developed, she gradually took on additional roles based on the team’s hiring needs.
Over seven months, she recruited for a wide range of positions across the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Beyond retail, she supported hiring in sales, logistics, supply chain and customer service, covering everything from specialist roles to team lead positions.
Some open positions attracted dozens of applicants, but identifying the right candidates required careful screening. The key was to quickly assess the applicant pool, identify the most suitable candidates, and work closely with hiring managers to move them efficiently through the recruitment process.
Beyond recruitment, our TA Specialist also helped optimize existing job ads, particularly for retail roles. She made adjustments to their content where possible and regularly shared her insights and recommendations with the internal team. Together, they explored ways to make retail recruitment more efficient. She also took part in an employer branding activity, representing L’Oréal at a university career fair.
Over time, our RPO collaboration successfully supported recruitment across the entire L’Oréal CZ/HU/SK hub.
