What Search & Go means for job seekers
Search & Go is a French firm offering training and consultancy in digital recruitment sourcing and Boolean search for HR teams and recruiters. It is not primarily a placement route for job seekers. Its work can still show you how recruiters search for talent, which helps when you tailor your CV and online profiles.
Who pays Search & Go
Paid by the employer, not by you.
Search & Go earns a fee from the company that hires you, usually a share of your first-year salary or a margin on your contract rate. Their client is that company.
What that means for you
Expect roles that fit their open vacancies before roles that fit your plan. Ask which company a role is for before your CV goes anywhere, and apply direct where you can.

Their side
What does Search & Go actually offer?
Search & Go's description centres on training and consultancy in digital recruitment sourcing and Boolean search for HR teams and recruiters. Its listed sectors include consulting, business services, software and education, which reflects the training side of the business. Its clients are generally recruiters and HR departments rather than job seekers. Check its own materials to confirm whether any candidate-facing service exists.
Where you meet
How does this work reach candidates?
Search & Go's work usually sits upstream of hiring, with recruiters and HR teams as its audience. If you approach the firm, expect a conversation about how sourcing works rather than a placement process with a fixed sequence of interviews. Ask directly whether it places or represents candidates before you share personal details. Be clear about whether you are looking for work or simply trying to understand the profession.
What should you expect if you work with the firm or its clients?
Expect clarity about the scope of any engagement, including whether it involves a training course, a consultancy project or a recruitment service. The firm's advice may affect how a client hires, which can change the process you go through as a candidate. Ask who the firm acts for and how any personal information is handled. Agree any paid services in writing before you start.
Your side
How can a candidate benefit from understanding Boolean search?
Recruiters often search CVs and online profiles with Boolean operators, so using the right job titles, skills and synonyms makes your profile easier to find. Write your headline and skills section with the exact role names and tools a recruiter would type. Avoid vague labels, because they rarely appear in searches. Test your profile by searching for it yourself using the terms you expect a recruiter to use.
Is Search & Go the right resource for your search?
It may be useful if you want to understand recruiter sourcing methods, improve how visible your profile is, or prepare for a career in recruitment. It is less useful if you need a placement or a list of open roles. For active job searching, a staffing firm or a direct application will usually be more direct. Use the firm's insight as one input into a broader search.

- Ask whether the firm places candidates before sharing personal details.

Frequently asked questions
Does Search & Go charge candidates a fee?
Nothing in the firm's public description suggests it charges candidates, since its stated work is training and consultancy for recruiters. Check its terms before paying for anything, and be cautious of any charge for guaranteed interviews. Ask for written confirmation of what you would be paying for.
Should you learn Boolean search if you are not a recruiter?
Yes, it helps candidates too, because it explains how your CV and online profile get found. Basic operators, exact phrases and job title variants are enough to improve your visibility. Running a few searches on a job board can show you what recruiters see.
What happens to your personal data if you contact the firm?
The firm should explain what information it holds, why and how long it keeps it, under French and European data protection rules. Ask for its privacy notice before sharing your CV. Request deletion if you stop engaging with it.
Can you use this firm alongside a staffing agency?
Yes, because these routes serve different purposes and can complement each other. Keep the agency informed about any other recruitment-related contacts so that your profile is not confused. Use the firm for insight and the agency for placements.
