Interim management firm for the hotel and catering industry

I worked with Leaderia to recruit a Managing Director for a newly created and strategically important position within our company.
The main challenge was to define and fill a new role as part of the transformation of our family-owned business, an essential step in preparing the organisation for future challenges.
What led us to choose Leaderia was our excellent relationship with Mr Carastamatis, combined with a highly effective and straightforward approach that addressed our needs precisely. The process felt like a true partnership throughout.

I chose Leaderia for two main reasons:
· We were facing difficulties, through our existing network, in filling positions with a significant impact on our P&L and on our sales and marketing momentum.
· We wanted to bring greater diversity to our teams and introduce new perspectives.
The main challenges were to understand our needs, our company culture and the expectations of our market.

I was supported by Leaderia throughout a recruitment process for a senior management position at BPM Agri, with responsibility for four locations in the Chartres area. This was an important step in my career, as it meant leaving the company I had been with for 17 years and discovering the agricultural sector. My conversations with Philippe were always open, genuine and professional.

I was supported throughout a recruitment process. I appreciated my consultant’s calm and attentive approach, as well as the fact that my expectations were genuinely taken into account when identifying the right position for me. I felt listened to and well advised throughout the entire process. Overall, the discussions were highly constructive and valuable, helping me gain a clear understanding of the position I was being considered for.

Approached by Leaderia to join the Leitmotiv group, I benefited from exceptionally smooth, professional, and supportive guidance from Anne-Marie. Her active listening and precise advice made me feel truly valued and treated as a partner. The transparency of the process, along with regular briefings and feedback, allowed me to approach each step with complete confidence. Beyond the recruitment itself, this support helped me clarify my future scope and enter my new role with total peace of mind.

I appreciated Leaderia’s structured and dynamic approach throughout the recruitment process. Our exchanges allowed us to carefully align the key challenges of the role, the mission, and my profile. The efficiency of the follow-up and the clarity of the feedback provided real transparency at every stage. A direct, rigorous approach with a strong focus on active listening.

During my job search, I particularly appreciated the clarity and quality of my exchanges with Leaderia. Their adherence to timelines and attentive approach allowed us to accurately confirm the fit between my profile and the proposed role. Stéphane provided relevant, insightful advice throughout the entire process. An onboarding experience I whole-heartedly recommend.

I particularly appreciated the human touch and the quality of follow-up from the Leaderia team throughout my recruitment process. Our exchanges were consistently pleasant, smooth, and attentive to my needs. Marion was able to answer all my questions and guide me at every step. Thanks to this support, I secured my dream job.

Leaderia supported me throughout my job search with attentiveness and trust. Thanks to Stéphane and Marion’s advice, I was able to approach each stage of the process with peace of mind. The seamless communication and high quality of guidance quickly made me feel confident. This close working relationship was a true source of support throughout my entire journey.

Faced with a talent shortage, we turned to Leaderia on the recommendation of our partner Unigrains. The team quickly understood our key challenges, and we particularly appreciated the straightforward and genuine nature of our exchanges. The high caliber of candidates presented gave us access to profiles we likely wouldn’t have identified on our own. As a result, we recruited two team members who are now fully integrated, all while saving valuable time.

We called upon Leaderia to recruit a Business Development Manager responsible for launching a new product in the food-service market. Their deep knowledge of the HORECA sector and immediate understanding of our strategy were key to our success. We particularly appreciated the team’s availability, responsiveness, transparency, and high-quality follow-up. Their guidance allowed us to navigate this strategic recruitment with total peace of mind.

Looking to take my career in a new direction, Anne-Marie took the time to understand my background and aspirations. She presented me with an opportunity I wouldn’t have considered on my own: managing a Relais & Châteaux property in the Paris region. I particularly appreciated the quality of our exchanges, the transparency of the process, and Leaderia’s ability to create a genuine match between talent and a project. Two years on, this opportunity has proven to be a true career and life-changing decision.

In a context of rapid growth, we entrusted Leaderia with recruiting two executive profiles that were particularly challenging to identify. Marion quickly understood our challenges and supported us with responsiveness, transparency, and a close working relationship. Her ability to adjust the search based on our ongoing discussions was especially valuable. Both recruitments were a complete success, and both employees are still with the company today.

As part of a strategic position creation, we were looking for an experienced, agile profile capable of supporting the launch and structuring of a new brand. Anne-Marie’s active listening and quality dialogue quickly built a strong relationship of trust. Her guidance also helped us refine our requirements and realign our search whenever necessary. Ultimately, we found the right candidate to structure and support our organization over the long term.

I completed a 4-month part-time interim management mission for a Leaderia client. The assignment was a perfect match for my expertise, enabling me to address the client’s needs quickly and effectively. The ongoing communication with both parties was seamless, supported by monthly progress reviews.

I needed someone to lay the groundwork, define a vision and action plan, structure, streamline, prioritize, and measure the impact of our decisions. Leaderia found the right person in just two days and connected us almost immediately.

Anaïs, the consultant who supported us on our various recruitments, made a deep effort to understand our company beyond the job scope itself, our human environment, philosophy, and values, to present us with a candidate who was both skilled and a great fit for our team.

The recruitment process established by Leaderia is exceptionally well-crafted. The brief regarding the employer’s needs is clear and precise, and the exchanges with Anne-Marie are open, constructive, and effortless.

Leaderia supported us in recruiting strategic positions within our organization.

Over the years and across our various collaborations, I have come to deeply appreciate the extensive expertise and professionalism of Anne-Marie Lefèvre and Leaderia in truly understanding our industry.
