“At Solvay, we believe that people are the heart of our business."
“The true value of a company lies in its people,” states Mathieu, Head of Talent Acquisition at Solvay. “At Solvay, we understand that effective recruitment goes beyond simply filling positions. It’s about aligning purpose, expertise, and potential to create lasting impact.”
“In today’s dynamic world, where professional expectations are constantly evolving, we prioritize delivering an exceptional candidate experience,” Mathieu explains. “By implementing agile and efficient processes, we ensure that human connection remains at the heart of our recruitment efforts.”
“Our team of dedicated recruiters is committed to uncovering potential, aligning it with Solvay’s purpose, and fostering long-term growth,” Mathieu continues. “Regardless of expertise, location, or aspirations, we empower talent to thrive throughout their careers. Through collaboration and adaptability, we not only meet our recruitment goals but also strengthen Solvay’s position as a preferred employer in the chemistry industry.”
“By focusing on the candidate experience and highlighting the unique opportunities and culture at Solvay, we aim to attract and retain top talent who share our passion for innovation and sustainable chemistry,” he concludes.
“We’re leveling up wellbeing standards for all our colleagues”
One of Solvay’s guiding principles is to support employees through difficult times, and our Employee Assistance Program converts this idea into concrete action. Its goal? “Proposing access to mental health support for all employees,” Géraldine explains.
Géraldine’s role was to coordinate the program’s deployment in different countries. “As an occupational psychologist, I’ve always been close to my colleagues and felt for what they were going through, especially during Covid times. It was important to come to them with real support and to set the bar high for mental health in all Solvay countries,” she says. With the program now in place, every employee can get external psychological support upon request.
“I've been working directly with a global supplier, with our purchasing team, and liaising with our HR representatives in different countries and sites. I learned how to drive an international project and could even manage the contractual side of services,” Géraldine concludes.
