About

Hi there, welcome! 👋🏼 I'm Mathieu and I'm an early career recruiter at Datadog. I do my job (which is more a vocation than a job) with a lot of passion and dedication. I care deeply about the candidates, my internal and external partners, and I'm always thinking about how to build bridges between the academic and corporate worlds. I like reading (articles, academic papers...), researching and writing about multiple topics, often close to campus hiring and company culture. I'm also particularly interested in specific topics such as talent density and the French Grandes Ecoles landscape. When not working, I have a French bulldog, Pokko, who takes up a big part of my time (most of it spent telling him to stop doing silly things). Otherwise I'm a big fan of The Office, I also love traveling and discovering new music, as long as there's a good guitar riff in there. If you think we should talk, if you want to know more about Datadog or just talk about our common passions, I'd be very happy to have a chat with you! I always try to answer everyone :)
