This onboarding journey has been recognized with the GOLD Great Onboarding 2025 certification, awarded by Workelo, which honors the most innovative and engaging companies in onboarding practices.
We are proud of our GOLD certification, which attests to the exceptional quality of our onboarding process. The ratings given by our new employees reflect our constant pursuit of excellence: 9/10 in 2023 versus 9.3 in 2024.
At THOM, people are at the heart of our strategy and the employee experience is one of our top priorities.
When Histoire d’Or Highlights Its Employer Brand
As part of its new HR signature “Because we know what is precious”, Histoire d’Or has chosen an authentic communication approach that showcases its unique identity as an employer through its people—its most valuable ambassadors—who work every day to satisfy their customers.
Joining Histoire d’Or means embarking on a unique human and professional adventure. Histoire d’Or offers much more than just a job: it provides a true experience, focused on the customer and driven by a passion for the profession. Between emotional sales and technical expertise, teams promote products that are symbols of joy and pleasure.
Because people are at the heart of its strategy, Histoire d’Or empowers its employees to succeed through close support, mutual trust, and a training academy (THOM Academy) renowned for its excellence.
THOM, Partner of the Haute École de Joaillerie (Paris)
To strengthen and showcase our jewelry expertise in stores, THOM entered into a partnership with the Haute École de Joaillerie at the end of 2024. Our goal is to offer our clients a precious and consistent experience across all our stores while demonstrating our professional craftsmanship.
To achieve this, in addition to service manuals, quick-reference sheets, and numerous redesigned e-learning modules, we have developed a 4-day training program aimed at enhancing the expertise of our After-Sales Service Managers and our Expert Service Sales Advisors.
This training includes two days at the HEJ (“The best for the best”) covering gemology, the various stages of jewelry manufacturing, and hands-on workshop techniques, followed by two days at our workshop in Noisy-le-Grand.
Upon returning to the store, the teams are then able to share their skills throughout their region.
Jobs for you!
We recruit nearly 700 employees on permanent contracts every year. We are looking for people who share our values above all.
We pay particular attention to integration in order to make our employees feel at ease from the start and give them the means to feel at home.
Teaching stores have been set up to give close support to our employees. We have launched our digital application, Wel’THOM, to offer a human and innovative experience.
