Our philosophy

 

In the agricultural, agrifood, and hospitality sectors, organizational performance relies just as much on the robustness of business models as it does on human quality.

 

At Leaderia, this conviction guides the way we support businesses. Whether through executive search, assessment, managerial coaching, talent development, or outplacement, every mission is driven by a sharp understanding of professions, organizations, and human dynamics.

 

This understanding is built through close relationships with our clients, aligning with their corporate culture, growth ambitions, HR and CSR policies, and the specific constraints of their regions.

The 5 Leaderia Values

 

The values guiding each of our interventions:

 

  • Excellence: paying meticulous attention to every recruitment process, every assessment and every support initiative.
  • Ethics: Acting with transparency, respect, and responsibility toward clients, candidates, and team members.
  • Team Spirit: Mobilizing collective intelligence to serve each organization we support.
  • High Standards: Maintaining a high level of commitment, precision, and advisory insight to match each client’s ambitions.
  • Entrepreneurship: Cultivating initiative, agility, and the drive to move both organizations and talents forward.
Equipe Leaderia

In 2024, Leaderia becomes a Mission-driven Company!

 

Becoming a Mission-driven Company is a process that Leaderia has been engaged in for several months now, starting in 2023 with the definition of our raison d’être:

 

“Valuing the encounter between people and companies from Earth to Table; fostering their joint success to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world and nurture the common good”.

 

Leaderia’s transformation into a Mission-driven Company will be carried out with the involvement of all our stakeholders (associates, employees, customers, candidates, suppliers) and illustrates our desire to have a positive impact within our ecosystem, the world of recruitment.

 

In concrete terms, Leaderia is committed to promoting its vision of the recruitment profession by :

Ensuring symmetry of attention between candidates, customers and service providers Reconciling the human and the economic

 

The foundation of this commitment, based on the Pacte law (Action Plan for Business Growth and Transformation) is to rethink the role and responsibility of our organization within French society.

Leaderia was born from the alliance of two founding ideas:

 

  • Leader because we recruit top-tier executive profiles using cutting-edge methods and an entrepreneurial approach.

 

  • AI also stands for Agri-Food Industries, our initial specialization, which has shaped our initial added value. This expertise has now expanded “from the Earth to the Table”, incorporating the agricultural machinery and hotel-catering/hospitality sectors.

 

  • Since then, our scope of expertise has expanded to include assessment centers, employee coaching, and talent development.

Signatory of the Manifesto for Responsible Use of AI in Recruitment (Syntec Conseil)

« This is when I was finishing my studies of Haut Enseignement Commercial and preparing my oral exams to enter one of the very high-demanding French Business School that I met a consultant specialized in recruitment who helped me a lot at this very decisive step of my career. I found out how recruiting someone for a company might continuously influence the future of a firm, an institution, or a person !

 

I then got passionate about this job and tried to really understand what working as a consultant means. My choice was to start with two successful operational experiences at the service of global manufacturers, leaders in their industries. Since then, my passion is taking part of companies’performance and make candidates happy in their firms . »
