Good morning readers !
This past month has been a strong reflection of both our growth and our future with the entire The Allyance team. Caroline and Morgane spent time in Berlin, where Morgane lives and works, deepening relationships with our local partners and engaging with a vibrant, fast-evolving tech ecosystem.
This momentum extends beyond Germany. We are actively expanding our footprint across the UK and the US, supporting organizations that are rethinking how they attract and retain diverse talent in increasingly competitive markets.
At the same time, we are strengthening our commitment to Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), partnering more closely with companies to build scalable, inclusive hiring strategies from within. We have already supported Pigment, Alan, Payfit, Resilience and Sigma Nova through a RPO.
In every geography and every project, one priority remains constant: helping our clients build teams that reflect the world they serve: diverse and future-ready.
✅ The Allyance newsletter provides many useful references on recruitment, diversity and inclusion. Here are some articles about work in Europe in the age of GenAI, AI recruiter screens, a lesbian Product Manager getting a job after her maternity leave and Caroline in a tech podcast.
🌍 Europe at work in the age of Generative AI
7.4 million jobs across Europe now require AI skills.
That's 24% of every job posting INCO analysed, across 15 languages, every sector, every country. Not just in tech but in marketing, finance, logistics and admin. Only 15% of workers received an AI training last year. The gap between those two numbers is an access problem and access problems are solvable.
INCO is publishing the research and launching NewFutures: AI, with support from Google, a free programme built directly in response to what the data showed.
🪛 AI recruiter screens: What Zapier learned and why they’ll keep going
Zapier’s experiment with AI-powered recruiter screens offers a clear signal to tech recruiters: artificial intelligence can dramatically expand hiring capacity without replacing human judgment. The company used the tool to process far more candidates than a traditional recruiter screen would allow, while still keeping a human in the loop before any decision moved forward. The result was not just speed, but also a broader and fairer view of talent, with the system surfacing candidates who might otherwise have been overlooked.
The article’s most important lesson is that AI works best as a force multiplier, not as an autonomous gatekeeper. Candidates remained in control, with the option to choose a live screen instead, and the process was designed to remain transparent and structured. Zapier also reported strong candidate engagement and satisfaction, suggesting that well-designed AI screening can improve both efficiency and experience at the same time.
For tech recruiters, the takeaway is practical and strategic. In high-volume technical hiring, where time and attention are limited, AI can help teams identify promising people faster and at greater scale. But the real value lies in using it carefully: as a tool for collecting better information, widening access to opportunity, and supporting more informed human decisions.
Recruiters got significant time back. Time between initial applicant review to completed recruiter screen shrunk from 8 days to 2.75 days, a 66% reduction.
Zapier screened 5x more candidates per role. Not 5% more. Five times more.
🌿 Françoise, Product Manager engagée et adepte de sobriété numérique
Après un début de carrière dans la communication et le digital, Françoise a choisi de mettre son expertise au service du produit et du sens. Senior Product Manager chez AssoConnect, elle incarne une approche humaine du tech et de la gestion de produit. Dans cet entretien, elle revient sur son chemin atypique; du Camino de Compostelle à la civic tech, sa rencontre avec The Allyance, et sa vision lucide d’une tech utile, inclusive et responsable.
J’ai été embauchée […] dans une période où ça n’était pas franchement la fête sur le marché du travail. The Allyance renverse la dynamique du marché du travail. Les entreprises étant déjà sélectionnées, cela évite les mauvaises surprises et garantit davantage de pratiques modernes avec la DEI à l’honneur.
🔦 The Allyance in the spotlight
Je suis l’invitée de Bruno Soulez, le créateur du podcast incontournable If This, Then Dev! Je décrypte l’impact inédit de l’IA sur le recrutement : parcours rationalisés, filtrages automatisés et montée de la pression pour candidats comme recruteurs. Je mets en garde sur la transmission de savoirs et la difficile progression des juniors dans ce nouvel environnement. Selon moi, c’est l’agilité humaine et la capacité d’adaptation qui feront la différence pour les carrières tech de demain.

✒️ Last words from Caroline, The Allyance CEO
There will be no newsletter in May as it is our tradition.
We are going to come back stronger than ever thanks to Madonna’s new song “I Feel So Free”.
Madonna will release a new album this summer, the second chapter of her record “Confessions on a Dancefloor”.
