Commited to Meaningful Change

ECARIS Values

Our values guide every decision, driving sustainable and inclusive technological progress.

Promotion of women in the profession

Representation of women in the information technology sector remains significantly low. At ECARIS, we make it a point to systematically propose at least one new female candidate for each assignment entrusted to us.

Diversification & Inclusion of Minorities

We are committed to implementing fair and inclusive recruitment processes.
We are minimizing potential biases and prioritizing diversity in terms of age, ethnic origin, and socio-economic background.

Environmental Approach

ECARIS encourages the use of digital tools for interviews and evaluations, reducing travel and printed documents. We also recommend our clients to favor remote working solutions or flexible schedules to reduce the carbon footprint associated with commuting.

Our ESG Commitments

ECARIS fulfills its ESG commitments through responsible practices. We promote equity, inclusion, and reduced environmental impact, in order to meet client expectations and current societal challenges.

ECARIS Commitments

Our organization is based on proven expertise and constant rigor. As a consulting firm specializing in all forms of data, we are convinced that every assignment requires the involvement of highly qualified consultants.

Whether the engagement is on a daily rate or a fixed-price basis, we always select profiles capable of adding significant value: technical excellence, deep understanding of business challenges, and, when relevant, pertinent sectoral experience to strengthen the support we provide.

All our consultants are engaged under ECARIS according to strict general working conditions, including confidentiality, respect for professional conduct, responsibility towards the assignment, and a minimum commitment of one year.

These requirements are part of our quality charter, ensuring our clients receive secure services that meet expected protection standards. The general conditions applicable to our consultants are included in our terms and conditions of sale, constituting our contractual guarantee.

01

Commitment to Stability

Before each assignment, consultants formally commit to remain dedicated to the project for a minimum of twelve months, in accordance with the previously agreed remuneration terms. They refrain from seeking to join another assignment during this period.

02

Client
Withdrawal Period

The client has a 48-hour right of withdrawal from the start of the assignment. If the contract is terminated before the start of the third business day, no billing will occur.

03

Free
Replacement Guarantee

If a consultant withdraws during the first three weeks of the assignment, ECARIS guarantees their replacement within a maximum of five business days. No billing will be applied for the preceding period.

04

Service Deadlines

Resource mobilization for a new requirement in "daily rate" mode can be rapidly implemented, according to the following criteria: for any team of more than 10 people, a customized calendar will be developed with the client.

  • 2 to 4 business days minimum for a team of 1 to 2 people
  • 4 to 6 business days minimum for a team of 3 to 4 people
  • 6 to 10 business days minimum for a team of 5 to 7 people
  • 20 business days minimum for a team of 7 to 10 people

For services in "fixed-price" mode, the execution schedule will be defined in advance when the specific services to be performed are determined. It is important to note that these timeline estimates are realistic but minimal; the final schedule may depend on external factors such as prior verification of presented consultants, your integration process, and any element related to market or unforeseen circumstances.
