YOUNG Talents

WHERE MINDSET MEETS MOMENTUM

At YOUNG, joining the group isn’t automatic: it’s earned.

We build ventures, brands, and platforms across Europe & Africa alongside partners who embody ownership, clarity, and the energy that defines our DNA. Our Talent team sits at the center of this mission: the bridge between market intelligence, cultural alignment, and the people who will shape YOUNG’s future.

How We Think & Work

We believe talent is not just found: it’s understood, tested, and selected with intention.
That’s why our approach fuses research, insight, and merit-based recruitment into one integrated model.

We don’t hire titles.
We don’t hire promises.
We hire ownership, demonstrated through mindset, clarity, and real execution.

Our Approach

At YOUNG, we follow a very specific approach that helps us move fast, stay aligned, and understand how people think, not just what’s on their CV.

• So, before jumping into the first interview, every candidate goes through the same first step: the DISC Assessment + a short Business Case.
• First interview: cultural fit focused.
• Second & last interview: day-to-day operations in the role related.
• Trial Phase: win-win situation where both parties know exactly if there may be a long-term match or not.

YOUNG TRIAL

Each candidate who advances in our recruitment process completes the YOUNG Trial, a focused 5–10 hour practical assignment, carried out in their own time (evenings or weekends).

The trial is voluntary and unpaid, and forms an essential step in our selection process. It allows both the candidate and YOUNG to experience real collaboration before making a final decision.

For candidates, the YOUNG Trial offers:

• A realistic impression of our pace, standards and way of working
• Clear expectations from day one
• The opportunity to showcase ownership, creativity and problem-solving skills

For YOUNG, it provides insight into:

• Working style and mindset
• Communication and execution
• Cultural and entrepreneurial fit

We believe this mutual evaluation leads to stronger, more transparent and sustainable collaborations.

Why It Works

This approach protects our culture, builds teams of doers, and ensures that every person joining YOUNG has earned their place through mindset, energy, and results.
