Free 2 Live

Free2live is a Paris based company that presents itself as the premier facilitateur de mise en relation, the first facilitator of putting people together. It was founded with the aim of freeing people from work as an obstacle by proposing only candidates who are genuinely passionate about their trade, and it quotes Richard Branson's line that if you find work you enjoy you will not have to work a single day in your life. The team behind it has more than 50 years of cumulative experience in ESN and cabinet de recrutement environments, which it says has allowed it to understand every aspect of the profession and to give clients the best of both of those worlds today.

The company works in IT and offers four services. Pré-embauche supports clients in making the best choice of future collaborators by challenging candidates over a short prestation period before the hire is made. Prestations supply resources for IT projects, either for one off needs or on a longer term basis. CDI recruitment supports clients searching for the skills they need to find their future colleagues on permanent contracts. A dedicated recruitment service is available for clients who want to relieve their own HR department of specialist IT hiring, with a dedicated team taking on the whole process on their behalf.

Free2live works from premises at 31 avenue de Segur, 75007 Paris, and its human sized team will either receive clients at those Paris offices or travel to meet them near their home or business over a coffee. Clients choose the company for its responsiveness and attentiveness: a CTO at Bazar Chic describes a team that listens, reacts and behaves professionally, and says everything went perfectly and he would not hesitate to call on them again; a DSI at La Fabrique says working with Free2live brought great reactivity to their search and that the team listens far more than the large cabinets, which makes the difference; and a director at Guthenberg Tec says that among the mise en relation companies they work with regularly, this one stood out by delivering satisfaction at every level.
