What Solerys does

Solerys is a French professional reclassification and career transition services provider headquartered in Lyon, operating under Groupe Oasys since 2024 following the consolidation of the former Groupe Alerys portfolio. The company delivers individual and collective outplacement (reclassement individuel and collectif), competency assessments (bilans de compétences, bilans d'orientation, bilans de mobilité professionnelle, bilans entrepreneuriaux), and nine France Travail-accredited programs spanning professional project development, return-to-stable-employment pathways, executive job search support, health-related reclassification, and business creation preparation. Service delivery combines field-based consultant expertise — through a network of 500+ practitioners across 13 French regions — with a psychometric assessment suite (MBTI, DISC, STRONG) and supporting management and learning platforms provided by technology partners SIROM and PIMENKO.

The business model is structured around two primary revenue streams: managed-services contracts tied to French public employment policy, including France Travail programs and Plan de Sauvegarde de l'Emploi (PSE) reclassification mandates, and professional-services revenue funded through OPCA and OPACIF vocational training bodies for individual bilans de compétences. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales and institutional referral rather than outbound consumer marketing, with France Travail serving as the primary channel partner. Solerys maintains Qualiopi certification (Training Actions and Bilans de compétences, valid 2024–2027) and is co-signatory of the Charte Qualité des Acteurs de Bilans in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes — both required for access to public funding streams. The company directly supports 6,500+ individuals annually and 12,000+ combined with its partner network, reporting a 90%+ customer satisfaction rate and a 94/100 Gender Equality Index score for 2025.

The company is privately held as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS), led by Directeur Général Thibaud Lecompte, and is part of the broader Groupe Oasys alongside sister brands Alerys (executive recruitment and coaching) and Explorys (business creation support). Geographic operations are exclusively domestic, with no international footprint or expansion signaled.
