· Candidate search: every offer posted can be viewed by all visitors to the site for a period of 60 days.

· Job offers are posted in one language, then become automatically available in English, French and Japanese.

2) Candidate profiles

· posting of profiles: job seekers create profiles using a series of multiple-choice questionnaires that summarize their experience, including industry segments, product knowledge and job categories specific to the fashion, beauty and selective retail professions. This method of gathering information allows very precise formatting of details contained in the database. Candidates may also attach personal documents to their profile (books, etc.).
Individuals can post profiles free of charge.

· Confidentiality of information : candidates are free to remain completely anonymous. In that case, companies have access only to a summary of the profile without any identifying information. Be The 1 sends an e-mail alert to the candidate, who decides whether to disclose personal details and make contact with the employer.

· Translation of profiles : BeThe1.com automatically translates and posts profiles in English, French and Japanese (except for attachments).

3) The hiring process

· Highly selective "matching" of job offers and candidate profiles:
The staff at Be The 1 is made up of well-known professionals and international experts in human resources and the fashion, beauty and selective retail industry. We have developed a system that matches, as closely as possible, the special features of industry professions with jobs posted on our site. BeThe1.com's matching engine searches for the best matches among the profiles in its database as long as the job is posted.

· Disclosing personal information : an e-mail alerts candidates and asks them for permission to send their contact information to the employer. Be The 1 thus pre-selects capable and motivated candidates for the employer.

· Ranking of candidates by closeness of match : the special formatting of the profile database, combined with the parameters of the matching engine, allows Be The 1 to rank profiles by how well they fit the job offer. This selection process ensures that employers are matched with qualified candidates and that individuals do not receive unsuitable offers.

· An online tool for managing recruitment and the job search: when a company posts a job on Bethe1.com, it automatically benefits from a MyBeThe1 page. MyBeThe1 receives all candidate applications. It then selects, ranks and files the most suitable candidate profiles and presents them in the form of a control panel, sparing companies a mountain of résumés cluttering up their inbox. Individuals who register on the Web site also have access to a MyBeThe1 page where they can monitor their job search, also in the form of a control panel.

4) Additional screening tools:

Companies can then narrow down the list of candidates offered by BeThe1.com. BeThe1.com provides employers with the following tools

· e-testing: evaluation of generic skills (office technology, foreign language, management ) and those specific to the industry (products/professions).


· Checking of academic credentials


· Telephone interview: the telephone interview evaluates the candidate's skills and motivation for the job offered using a questionnaire developed by the best practices of the major international search firms.


· Checking of references: After receiving the names of references from the candidate, BeThe1.com checks references by telephone.
