What Menway does
Groupe Menway Holding SAS is a privately held French multi-brand HR services group founded in 2002 in Metz by Jean-Louis Petruzzi. The group operates through approximately 80 physical implantations across France and an ecosystem of more than 15 specialized subsidiaries organized into six service divisions: fixed and temporary recruitment (Menway Emploi, ABIL Ressources, Enthalpia Luxembourg, Yupeek), interim management and transition (NIM Europe, MCG Managers, NIM Suisse, WEEM), executive search, HR consulting (Latitude RH, B\u00e2me, Menway Talent Consulting), training (Nowledge, MacAnders, Altigapharma), and Health & QVCT services (Pr\u00e9via, Pros-Consulte, Ma Bonne F\u00e9e). International reach is delivered through partnership networks IMW (27 countries) and Career Partners International (45 countries). The technology base comprises proprietary digital platforms including a candidate jobboard network, a psychological listening hotline (Pros-Consulte), a digital wellbeing platform (Ma Bonne F\u00e9e), an employer brand studio (Yupeek), and an independent talent marketplace (WEEM) with over 4,000 qualified consultants.
Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of streams: transactional margins on temporary and interim staffing placements; success fees and retained search fees on permanent recruitment and executive search; mission fees on interim management; project-based consulting fees; training program revenue; and subscription-based contracts for Health & QVCT services. Pricing is custom and per-engagement across all service lines, with no public rate cards. The go-to-market combines direct field sales through 80 local branches serving enterprise and mid-market clients, self-serve digital channels (Menway Emploi jobboard) for SMB and individual job seekers, and channel partnerships for international delivery. The customer base spans CAC 40 large caps (one-third served via WEEM), investment funds, mid-market firms, and SMEs, with active thought leadership content marketing (barometers, white papers, podcasts) supporting inbound demand generation.
The group has pursued an active M&A and partnership strategy to broaden capabilities and geographic reach, including acquisitions of MacAnders (January 2020), Ma Bonne F\u00e9e (September 2023), and WEEM (July 2025), plus earlier partnerships with IMW (2012) and CPI (2014). Capital backing includes a 2017 growth funding round of approximately $16.9M led by Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel Equity with Bpifrance and Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel Innovation. The company is GDPR-compliant, has held an RSE (corporate social responsibility) commitment since 2012, and is led by founder-Chairman Jean-Louis Petruzzi alongside Director G\u00e9n\u00e9rale Val\u00e9rie Mathieu. Revenue, EBITDA, and detailed financial metrics are not publicly disclosed.
