Notre philosophie

At Leaderia, we are convinced that the recruitment of executives and managers, for sectors as sensitive as the hotel and catering industry, agriculture and the agri-food industry, is a crucial mission for the success of the companies that make them up.

 

Leaderia is more than a recruitment firm, Leaderia positions itself as the partner of its clients’ human resources policy and management.

 

It is essential for us to create a close relationship with our clients that allows us to know them in depth: corporate culture, development and recruitment ambitions, HR and CSR policy, geographical constraints, etc.

We hunt heads, with heart

If our expertise is recognized today, it is because this quest for excellence is the driving force of our teams. The desire to find the candidate who perfectly matches your needs and who will help your organization grow is our objective day after day.

Your issues are ours!

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.

cabinet chasseur de tête

Leaderia was born from the alliance of three founding ideas:

 

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

 

  • AI for the Identification of Analogies between expertise and skills in our specialist sectors for all our recruitments.

 

  • · 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.

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 . »
