"We recruited the right profile": Testimonial from Vivian, Head of Wacano Paris

"We recruited the right profile." Vivian, Head of Wacano Paris

Vivian launched the recruitment of a Project Manager in May 2026, with the goal of finding the right person over the summer and taking the time to train them before the autumn restart. He chose to rely on Mio to prequalify candidates.

Key takeaways:

• No fear of missing promising candidates because of an average CV
• Time saved for a non-professional recruiter
• Timing kept and the right profile hired

Finding the right profiles with limited time

Wacano is a start-up incubator, with a team in which no one is dedicated to recruitment. Vivian, the head of Wacano Paris, therefore wanted to spend as little time as possible on candidate prequalification, while ensuring an optimal level of quality in screening them.

And Vivian admits he finds it hard to rule out profiles based on their CV. His past experiences lead him to favour spoken conversations to properly gauge candidates' qualities.

"Despite an average CV, some candidates are great when you meet them in an interview."

So there was a real challenge for Vivian: generating qualitative data on his candidates beyond the CV, without spending hours on it.

That's where Omogen comes in.

Speed of execution, and prioritising profiles

Although Vivian remains fairly sceptical about voice AI outreach, he was eager to test Omogen and see how candidates would react to this kind of voice AI prequalification experience. Thanks to the Omogen x Indeed integration, Vivian was able to send candidates into Omogen very easily.

"At first, I listened to all the conversations. After seeing that it worked well, I ended up listening only to the conversations of the top profiles identified by the AI."

No fewer than 300 applications went through Mio. Thanks to the agent's evaluation, Vivian saved time on prequalifying his candidates, without fearing he would miss quality profiles.

Recruiting the right profile

That's how Appoline, a former certified Notion consultant, applied and was hired as Project Manager. As she mentions in her testimonial, she took the call seriously. According to Vivian, that clearly played a part in the rest of the conversations.

"Listening to it, you can tell she had a natural, even enthusiastic, conversation with the agent."

This involvement in the interaction with the agent helped her stand out from the other candidates. Today, with a few months of hindsight since Appoline joined the team, Vivian confidently confirms that they recruited "the right profile".

"We're very happy with the choice that was made."

A solution suited to any company without a dedicated recruitment team

Today, Vivian invites all companies that don't have a dedicated HR or recruitment team to use Omogen, especially at a time when AI is becoming ubiquitous.

"We all use LLMs in our daily lives, so go for it without preconceptions, test it, see if it works for you. In any case, it worked very well for us."

He sees Omogen as an opportunity to save time, to refocus on people, on meeting candidates, and to make the right decisions.
