In-House Experience

Background as insiders

We've built recruitment functions from the inside: we understand internal dynamics (managerial constraints, political trade-offs, real vs. stated urgency) and adapt to them instead of applying a generic process.

International Reach

International multi-market sourcing

France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium... and the US ; sourced with real knowledge of local markets, hiring norms, and candidate expectations, not just a shared language or a generic playbook.

Structured Approach

Structure where none exists yet

From early-stage founding hires to complex mandates inside larger, more structured organizations, we help clarify the real need (role, seniority, priorities) before sourcing even begins.

Core Value

Transparency as a core value

Not just a working method: a core value. Clear, honest communication with every candidate and every client, continuous updates, and no surprises at any stage of the process.

The Story behind TheyScale

The Story behind TheyScale

TheyScale was founded by Rébecca Ravoala. For over 8 years, she has supported the growth of French and European tech startups and scale-ups, helping structure their recruitment functions from the inside: building handbooks, training managers, setting up end-to-end hiring processes. In recent years, this expertise has focused on payments and fintech, notably at Wero, Payfit and Joko. She has now chosen to make this her full specialization: in-house experience put to work for fintech and payment companies that need recruitment that truly understands their business, not just their jargon.

Based in France, active across Europe.

Depending on mission needs, TheyScale can draw on a network of specialized freelance collaborators.
