Les insights du recrutement d’Alexandre Chavain, talent acquisition indépendant.

"Claude Code a rebattu les cartes il y a 8 mois." On a retrouvé Alexandre Chavain, ancien collab’ welovedevs, le temps d’une interview sur le métier de talent acquisition. Depuis ses premiers pas dans le recrutement, Alexandre a observé pas mal de transformations sur le marché du recrutement et celui de l’IT. Découvrez les insights du recrutement par Alexandre. Ça recrute dans le monde dans la start-up & scale-up ? “Ceux qui recrutent beaucoup en ce moment, c'est majoritairement ceux qui ont fait des levées de fonds. Clairement les capitaux se tournent aujourd'hui vers les boîtes qui font vraiment de l'IA, pas juste une feature shiny où on va brancher un MCP. Ces boîtes-là recrutent des data scientists, des Data Engineers, des Forward Deployed Engineers, ils font du RAG et du fine-tuning, ils construisent des produits qui apportent une valeur ajoutée forte à l'utilisateur”.

Bien sûr, le secteur bancaire est aussi très stimulé, en particulier avec la révolution de l’IA qui redistribue les cartes. On sait que les banques historiques n’ont pas pris le train du digital à temps, et les néobanques ont gratté pas mal de parts de marché… Maintenant, une multitude de petits services associés arrivent, pour gérer ses finances facilement ou faire des transactions en 1 clic. Le recrutement IT a connu des évolutions ces 5 dernières années, tu es d’accord ? Alexandre précise : “Quand on parle d'IA, on parle pas d'évolution, on parle de révolution.” “Claude Code a rebattu complètement les cartes il y a 8 mois. Aujourd'hui un profil confirmé ou senior peut abattre autant de travail qu'une équipe de 5 personnes médior il y a
