Eiffage is one of the largest construction companies in France, with over 70,000 employees on different continents. They aim to build environmentally friendly communities by creating sustainable cities, connecting territories and implementing innovative solutions and services to meet the needs of current and future populations.



Pipplet offers fast and flexible language tests for pre-employment assessments. Pipplet's tests focus on linguistic understanding and the practical use of languages, which attracted the Eiffage recruitment team.

The Challenge

Eiffage launched a recruitment campaign to hire competent project managers in several languages, English being the essential language.

Several requirements related to Eiffage's collaboration with a language company were that they are globally recognized companies used by other large companies. In addition, the company needed to offer an easy enough test solution to merge with its current recruitment process.

Eiffage announced they would hire project managers in France, other regions of Europe, Canada, Colombia, and Africa.

The Result

Etienne Azerad, Eiffage's English Trainer says "The system works well. The reactivity in Pipplet is impressive."

Pipplet provides a niche solution for businesses that need to establish preliminary profiles of an employee or candidate applying for jobs that require language proficiency. Azerad added that "the test allowed us to form a necessary first impression of the candidate's linguistic skills, but that candidates deserved a second face-to-face discussion that helped complete the general feeling."

Finally, Etienne added that "there are opportunities to further develop the test to cover even more depth for slightly more complex positions," which he looks forward to seeing.
