Engie found that recruitment excellence emerges when recruiters share and collaborate

Engie employs 230,000 people worldwide. Its staffing division faced a critical issue: recruitment expertise was scattered, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. Local teams had knowledge, but it remained siloed.

The question was urgent: how to break down silos, centralize know-how, and turn recruiters into a connected force for candidate experience?

“Recruitment is not just about filling positions, it’s about shaping the very first impression of our culture. Too much recruiter know-how stayed hidden or underused. We needed a hub to unify our teams, elevate candidate experience, and give recruiters a stronger voice in building Engie’s employer brand.”

Engie Staffing GBS partnered with Yumana to launch Be.Hive, the Group’s first collaborative recruitment hub.
Its mission: Connect. Learn. Share.

The program set out to:

• Unify recruiters across France on one shared digital platform.
• Showcase and replicate best practices to boost efficiency.
• Empower recruiters to co-create and improve candidate experience every day.

With Yumana’s community engagement platform, Be.Hive became a living ecosystem where recruiters learn from each other, accelerate solutions, and activate partnerships.

Be.Hive quickly proved its value as a recruiter-driven hub:
