Lengow HR Director outlines transparent recruitment process

Lengow, the French market leader in e-commerce feed management, shared insights into its hiring approach in an interview with OnlineMarketing.de. Christilla Chapelain, Lengow’s HR Director since 2014, notes the company’s growth from 50 employees in 2014 to two offices in Nantes (85 staff) and Paris (55 staff) with a multicultural environment and about 20 nationalities. Lengow serves over 3,500 merchants across 45 countries, reflecting its global footprint. The interview outlines a transparent recruitment process: a clear job offer, an initial profile-based screening, a 15-minute phone interview to align expectations, and a face-to-face interview with HR and the potential manager, with COO involvement for senior roles. Recruitment channels include XING for German speakers, LinkedIn, agencies, Indeed, and employee referrals. Key attributes for candidates include knowledge about Lengow and the digital sector, a positive attitude, motivation, and the ability to articulate future contributions, all while maintaining authenticity and confidence.
