SMEIA Group: Transparency, Culture, and Authenticity according to Youssef Hijji

In an environment where candidates seek meaning, clarity, and growth opportunities, SMEIA Group, the exclusive importer and distributor of prestigious car brands, has adapted its HR strategy to attract and keep the best talents. Youssef Hijji, HR Director of the group, shares the core principles of an approach based on culture, transparency, and authenticity.

A company culture as the foundation for success

"Because company culture is our common ground. When a candidate connects with it, integration is more natural, collaboration is smoother, and commitment is more lasting." — Youssef Hijji, HR Director of SMEIA Group

At SMEIA, company culture is more than a framework; it's a bond that unites teams around shared values and a common goal. By ensuring that every employee identifies with it, the group creates an environment where trust, performance, and motivation are sustained over time. This consistency aligns individual ambitions with the collective vision.

Transparent and meaningful recruitment

"We focus on more transparency, responsiveness, and communication. We also offer clear onboarding processes and concrete development opportunities, because young talents seek meaning, but also prospects." — Youssef Hijji, HR Director of SMEIA Group

Aware of the expectations of new generations, SMEIA is evolving its recruitment methods to offer a smooth and engaging experience. Open communication, responsive exchanges, and clear pathways show a commitment to supporting each talent's progress. The group thus places people at the center of its strategy, valuing skill development and internal growth.

Authenticity, the key to making a difference

"By remaining authentic, by showing that they have taken the time to understand our business, and especially by clearly expressing what they can bring — beyond the CV." — Youssef Hijji, HR Director of SMEIA Group

For Youssef Hijji, sincerity and preparation are a candidate's best assets. Recruiters look for profiles that can go beyond standard answers to demonstrate a real understanding of the automotive sector and a desire to actively contribute to the group's success. At SMEIA, authenticity and curiosity are as valuable as technical skills.
