Tomorrow Jobs

What Tomorrow Jobs does

Tomorrow Jobs is a privately-held French recruitment firm founded in 2016 by Sébastien LEFEVRE, headquartered in Nancy with a second office in Saint-Nazaire opened in 2019. The company specializes exclusively in direct approach (chasse de tête / headhunting) recruitment for talent-scarce positions ('métiers en tension') across five verticals: IT, Engineering, Commercial/Sales, Marketing, and Finance. Its methodology relies on a proprietary 'cocon sémantique' (semantic cocoon) framework that constructs domain-specific keyword sets using technology tools, job titles, and industry vocabulary, applied across LinkedIn Recruiter, internal and external CV databases, Google Boolean searches, and Hellowork to identify and approach passive candidates not actively on the market.

The firm operates on a 100% success-based pricing model, charging 19-24% of the placed candidate's annual gross salary (tiered by role difficulty and seniority) with no upfront deposit and a 3-month replacement guarantee. Customers range from startups and SMEs to mid-size companies (ETI/ESN) and large enterprises, distributed across sectors including construction materials, district heating and geothermal energy, thermal networks, IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, and geotechnical engineering. Geographic coverage spans Grand Est (Nancy, Metz, Strasbourg, Reims) and the Atlantic coast (Saint-Nazaire, Nantes, Rennes, Lorient, Bordeaux) in France, plus cross-border operations in Luxembourg.

Tomorrow Jobs is founder-owned with no external institutional investment, leveraging Sébastien LEFEVRE alongside associates Nicolas HURLIN and Marilyn COLAS HURLIN, and recruitment consultants Laura VAUTRIN, Michael LE CRUGUEL, Camille HURLIN, and Laure BORREDON. The company has completed 400+ placements since 2016 with a reported 90% one-year retention rate, generating revenue through pure transactional fees rather than recurring contracts. Supporting service lines include the 'Je cherche un job' candidate matching portal, a published job listings platform (Nos Offres), educational Fiches Métiers content, and an HR advice blog (Conseils RH), alongside deep regional ecosystem integration via partnerships with Grand Est Numérique, Réseau Entreprendre, Nancy Numérique, French Tech East, and Maison de l'emploi du Grand Nancy.
