Voilá (Voi·la): A french word meaning: there it is, there you are
“‘Voila!’ she said, producing a pair of strappy white sandals.”

Voilá. It’s the perfect name for a recruiting company. And for Victoire Duprez, it’s a one word story about who she is and where she’s been.

Victoire, who is french, rose through the ranks at the global recruiting firm Michael Page, working for powerhouse french brands like Chanel, and ultimately landing in Los Angeles, where this January, she decided to do something kind of crazy: start a recruiting outfit of her own.

On today’s pod Louis & Victoire talk about how it’s going, the specifics of the Los Angeles tech scene, and the ways the pandemic has changed the way companies hire.

“To be honest when I moved to LA I realized really quickly that you don’t have to have a really big company here. You have a lot of small startups that are starting and they are great businesses.”
