by Tristan de Terves – Strategic Partner Nova Talenta For a long time, leadership was associated with resilience to stress and a high work capacity, combining intelligence and vision. However, neuroscience and positive psychology now tell a different story. A leader who is tired, mentally overloaded or governed by their emotional reflexes often makes poorer decisions, communicates less effectively and unintentionally passes on their tension to their teams. Conversely, leaders

par Victoria Hingre – Founder Nova Talenta Agility is one of the keys to navigating such an unpredictable environment. And to foster agility, we need, amongst other things, to strengthen our connection with the front line. Being agile in the Talent function means being able to understand the dynamics on the ground and the business dynamics, so that we can respond quickly to the resulting needs. It also means adopting a genuine support role for operational teams. Hence the imp

par Victoria Hingre – Founder Nova Talenta It’s always a frustrating moment because we know we have to restart the recruitment process and, above all, that this delays the arrival of the long-awaited new hire. At first, we’re tempted to blame the market, the competition or a better-paid counter-offer. And these reasons do exist, of course. In other cases, the candidate’s decision to withdraw may reveal deeper issues within the organisation itself. A recruitment process allows

par Victoria Hingre – Founder Nova Talenta You are an entrepreneur, executive, or investor, and in certain departments—or for sensitive projects—the right capabilities are missing. You notice that hiring takes longer than expected, that discussions around a key role drag on and slow down the selection process.

by Victoria Hingre – Founder Nova Talenta I have accompanied so many leaders and decision-makers. I have launched initiatives to bring communities of independent professionals together. And now I am experiencing this loneliness of leadership first-hand. Because yes, questions and doubts are part of the process, part of the journey. And we must make room for these feelings. It is even beneficial because it encourages self-reflection, openness and the search for feedback. Yet i

by Victoria Hingre – Founder Nova Talenta Technology now plays a central role in talent acquisition strategies. ATS, sourcing, data analysis and artificial intelligence solutions offer considerable potential for gaining agility and consistency. But the true value of these tools lies not so much in their sophistication as in how they are integrated, understood and used on a daily basis. A solution only delivers performance if it is part of a clear vision and a mastered practic

by Victoria Hingre – Founder of Nova Talenta In a market where talent shortages are intensifying, the sourcing function is undergoing a profound transformation. Artificial intelligence does not replace recruiters; it frees up time, makes analyses more reliable and redefines their role. For SME and mid-market executives, the challenge is clear: embrace this transformation to make the Talent Acquisition function more strategic, more agile and more human. For a long time, recrui

by Victoria Hingre – Founder Nova Talenta In a market where talent is scarce, the candidate experience has become a major competitive advantage. It influences the speed, quality, and sustainability of recruitment. Too many companies continue to neglect it, confusing efficiency with automation. Yet this is precisely where the difference lies: in the ability to combine rigor, responsiveness, and human attention. A good candidate experience starts with a clear process. From the
