For many years, the Group has maintained close ties with
business and engineering schools and universities, enabling
it to develop its reputation and that of its Maisons among
students and give them a window onto major career tracks
and prospects.
Here are a few of our many privileged partnerships based
on the Group’s key recruitment priorities in 2015:
• Design – with Central Saint Martins in London and Parsons
The New School of Design in New York;
• Luxury brand management – with ESSEC (the LVMH Chair)
and SDA Bocconi in Italy, and the Luxury Business Manag e-
ment track at Singapore Management University;
• Excellence in the customer experience – now in partnership
with HEC;
• Supply chain operations – with Centrale Paris;
• Digital entrepreneurship – a new collaboration with Telecom
Paris Tech.
In addition to these programs, LVMH has also developed new
digital tools to reach a wider audience of students, streamline
the job application experience and encourage a diverse
pool of candidates to apply. Examples of these innovative
initiatives include the InMind application (for digitizing CVs
submitted on student forums), virtual job forums, pre-recorded
video interviews and an online presence on platforms such
as jobteaser.com.
LVMH has a robust reputation as an employer of choice. For
the 10th year running, the Group has been ranked fi rst by
Universum as the preferred employer for French business
school students, and its employer brand is increasingly
strong among engineering school students.
OFFERING A WIDE RANGE
OF OPPORTUNITIES
LVMH Human Resources prides itself on o ering a wealth of
career development options and international opportunities.
With more than 2,400 internal transfers of management
personnel, this year was no exception.
As our Maisons develop in evolving marketplaces, and new
growth drivers such as digital technology come to the fore,
we have been able to provide varied career opportunities at
every level of the organization, prompting a cross-pollination
of skills between di erent business segments.

“AS SOON AS I ARRIVED AT THE LVMH GROUP, JUST AFTER
FINISHING MY STUDIES, I STEPPED UP TO THE CHALLENGE
OF MANAGING ONE OF GUERLAIN’S POINTS OF SALE IN PARIS.
NEXT, I FOLLOWED MY INTEREST IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT BY TAKING ON THE ROLE OF AREA MANAGER
IN THE UNITED STATES, FIRST FOR THE CARIBBEAN AND THEN
FOR LATIN AMERICA. WITH ALL THESE DIFFERENT, QUITE
COMPLEMENTARY CAREER STARTING EXPERIENCES UNDER
MY BELT, I REALLY WANTED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR DEVELOPING MY OWN PART OF THE BUSINESS, AND
I SUCCESSFULLY ASSUMED THE MANAGEMENT OF THE
BRAND’S SUBSIDIARY IN MEXICO. NOW I’VE JOINED SEPHORA
IN CHINA TO TAKE ON THE NEW CHALLENGE OF A POSITION
IN MERCHANDISING.”
