Summary
Findyourstaff Collective supports independent recruiters with a full ecosystem of tools and services. On the sourcing side, the collective notably has HelloWork, with no monthly fee, and provides a LinkedIn RPS licence through a package for recruiters who want one.
Kalent completes this stack: every consultant in the collective has a dedicated sourcing licence. The choice came down to its simplicity, the precision of its filters and its affordability, especially compared with an RPS licence.
The tool is used across every sector the collective covers, particularly when recruiters need to find targeted profiles that are hard to reach or missing from the usual channels.
A complementary tool built for the collective's recruiters
Findyourstaff Collective is not trying to replace one tool with another: the goal is to give every recruiter the right means to handle a wide range of assignments.
HelloWork, LinkedIn RPS and Kalent each have their own role. Kalent is a particularly attractive option to enrich searches and diversify approaches, without adding weight to recruiters' budgets.
"We went with Kalent because it's a genuinely complementary sourcing tool, better value than an RPS and above all more accessible."
This complementarity lets consultants move beyond traditional sourcing habits and explore new talent pools, without making their day-to-day more complex.
A collective rollout, backed by training
Adopting a tool takes more than access to a licence. At Findyourstaff Collective, support was a decisive part of the rollout.
Kalent ran an onboarding session with several of the collective's consultants to ease their first steps and share best practices. More sessions are planned, notably on search settings and filtering.
"What's great is that Kalent is very open to running training sessions. A session dedicated to filtering is being organised right now for the consultants who haven't fully got to grips with the tool yet."
This collective format lets recruiters progress together, share how they use the tool and get more out of it for their own specialities.
Finding profiles traditional channels don't surface
Kalent is now used across all of the collective's sectors. Its value shows most on specific searches, where CV databases and traditional professional networks sometimes reach their limits.
A recent example illustrates it: during a co-sourcing assignment with an independent recruiter for maintenance technicians in the Loire region, Kalent identified candidates she did not know and had not found on standard LinkedIn, HelloWork, France Travail or APEC.
"For us, it's a real plus for finding specialised profiles."
This ability to open up new talent pools lets recruiters dig deeper and put forward more relevant profiles for technical or hard-to-fill roles.
Simplicity, precise filtering and responsive support
Beyond the quality of the results, Findyourstaff Collective highlights the day-to-day experience of the platform.
"What I particularly like about Kalent is its simplicity and the ability to define filters precisely."
The collective also points to the availability of support: an account manager on hand, a responsive quality team by phone, email or message, and concrete follow-up on consultants' needs.
"The customer support is really great. Well done to all the Kalent teams, especially Théo and Marine, for the project."
This closeness makes the tool easier to adopt and lets recruiters stay focused on their job: understanding needs, identifying the right profiles and building quality conversations with candidates.
Conclusion
For Findyourstaff Collective, Kalent has become a complementary building block of its sourcing strategy. Available to every consultant, used across all sectors and backed by hands-on support, the tool helps the collective widen its talent pools and better handle searches for specialised profiles.
Ease of use, fine-grained filters, collective training and the responsiveness of the Kalent teams shape this collaboration day to day.
