We’re two passionate sourcers — Pierre-André Fortin, based in France, and Guillaume Alexandre, a French guy living in Switzerland.

 

Slightly geeky, definitely curious, and not exactly web developers.

​

During the first COVID lockdown in 2020, we were chatting online as Pierre Andre spontaneously created an online "zoom café".

Half-joking, we said:

“If there’s ever a second lockdown, we’ll build a website. A real one. With free tools. By sourcers, for sourcers.”

​

Well… the second lockdown happened.

 

So we built freesourcingtools.com.

 

The name? Picked in 20 seconds. Not flashy, but clear. You’re here, so it worked.

​

We’re not just training recruiters and sourcers — we are sourcers.

We work hands-on every week, solving real-life sourcing puzzles.

​

• Guillaume runs Gates Solutions, based in a watch making valley in the mountains of Switzerland, and created the training program The People Attraction Theory.

​​

• Pierre-André is the founder of Anara, a boutique executive search firm in France, and trains clients as part of his core business.

​​

Over time, we’ve added AI, redesigned the UX, and expanded the tools — all free, all made with love.

We cover the costs ourselves. No ads. No data collection. No catch. Just tools we wish existed when we started.

​

If our tools help you, a kind word — or a LinkedIn post tagging us — is the best thank-you you can give.

​

As for Guillaume, he’s been a speaker at sourcing events in over 10 countries, including Ukraine, Greece, France, Germany, the UK, the US, and Canada. He proudly wears the “Red Shoes”, a rare badge of honor for those who’ve spoken at 10+ Sourcing Summit events.

​

Where will sourcing take us next? No idea. But we’re ready for the ride.
