Testimonials
I came across the Dorothy Danahy website when looking for a bilingual assistant position.
Their name often appeared on various job ads that I had seen. So I decided to contact them directly rather than go through their website in order to arrange an appointment.
I was asked to send my CV and was contacted later the same day to schedule a date and time for an interview with them.
Once in their offices, I completed a series of tests. Having determined the type of position I was looking for, they confirmed that my profile corresponded to their vacancies and that I would be contacted shortly and briefed about any suitable jobs.
I generally don't have too much faith in recruitment agencies, as there is often no contact after the well-known scenario of tests and interviews, or if there is contact, it is several months later.
However, Dorothy Danahy kept their word and two days' later they called me with a job brief that was exactly what I was looking for.
I put myself forward for the job, a bilingual Executive Assistant role for a financial services company, a permanent position I have now held for 6 months.
In addition to this, my contact at the agency phoned me several times to make sure things were going well and to answer any questions I had about my new role.
I am extremely satisfied with my experience of working with Dorothy Danahy and wouldn't hesitate to get in touch with them should I be looking for a new job in the future.
A big thank to the whole team.
No longer content with my former job, I signed up with Dorothy Danahy and was called back instantly to come into their Paris offices and meet with one of their consultants. I was immediately made to feel at ease by their lovely and friendly team, and had a long discussion about what I was looking for, as well as their current roles available. In the several weeks that followed, I was called regularly and presented a number of different roles corresponding to my profile, and to my career goals. In my experience of bilingual recruitment companies in Paris, Dorothy Danahy was by far the most reactive, and offered me the widest range of different roles, all of them in highly reputed companies. The consultants also paid close attention to the criteria I was seeking in a position, as I was not seeking an entirely classic assistant role.
Within a few weeks, I was offered a CDI in a fantastic and dynamic Executive Search firm, where I fit in straightaway. Dorothy Danahy even contacted me by post to congratulate me on the role and checked up how things were going after the initial few days. Almost a year on, I am still happy in my role but would definitely recommend Dorothy Danahy to anyone looking for an interesting assistant role in Paris.
The team at Dorothy Danahy is faultless in their welcoming of candidates and the different staff with whom I had the pleasure of speaking to were always very friendly and extremely efficient.
The appointment I had to register with their agency demonstrated their perfectionism and I felt immediately at ease there.
Regular contact and follow-up during my interviews was testament to their skill and attentiveness: Dorothy Danahy recently found me a position and I am very happy there.
I recommend this company - they will measure up to your expectations.
