David Hermon

Site Director, Fromagerie du Val de Sienne

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.

Farida Riahi

HR France Director, AB Mauri France

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.

Clément Gohin

Managing Director, Hôtel Les Lumières

In a context of rapid growth, we entrusted Leaderia with recruiting two executive profiles that were particularly challenging to identify.

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.

Ultimately, we found the right candidate to structure and support our organization over the long term.
