PROCADRES INTERNATIONAL

What PROCADRES INTERNATIONAL does

PROCADRES INTERNATIONAL (legal entity: Cabinet Procadres International) is a France-headquartered professional services firm specializing in interim executive management (management de transition). Founded in 2002 and operating from offices in Paris, Lyon, Nantes, and Geneva, the firm places senior interim managers — typically with 10–25 years of operational and managerial experience — into client companies for assignments of 6–18 months (average 7 months, trending upward) covering crisis management, turnaround, restructuring, M&A, digital transformation, and succession gaps. Procadres reports over 1,500 completed assignments since inception, with 20% conducted internationally across Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The firm does not sell technology products; its core offering is human expertise, structured around a proprietary candidate matching process that integrates Big Five (OCEAN) behavioral psychometrics to evaluate fit beyond CV-based screening. Supporting assets include the Espace Managers online portal (procadres.admen.fr) for candidate profile management and registration, the Executive Circle community for ongoing engagement of interim managers between assignments, and an Accompagnement Manager coaching service. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity.

Procadres generates revenue by charging clients a daily rate for each interim manager placed, with the rate varying by assignment difficulty, sector, company size, expertise required, and manager profile; the firm earns a markup on the interim manager's gross compensation (which per France Transition benchmarks averages €120K–€150K annually, minimum €80K). The go-to-market is partner-led direct enterprise sales targeting large French and international groups (40% of clients), mid-sized businesses / ETI (40%), SMEs and high-growth companies (20%), and private equity-managed portfolio companies. Bureau Veritas certification and membership in France Transition and France Invest underpin credibility with enterprise and PE buyers.

Revenue model

1. Interim Management Assignment Fees: Procadres International generates revenue by placing interim executives with client companies for defined periods (typically 6–18 months, average 7 months). Clients are billed for the interim manager's services, with daily rates varying by assignment difficulty, sector, company size, required expertise, and manager profile. Procadres acts as an intermediary, taking a margin on the daily rate charged to clients. Travel and accommodation expenses during missions are covered separately by the client.
2. Interim Manager Daily Rate Billing: A daily price (excluding VAT) is set for each assignment, varying based on the difficulty of the challenge, the sector and size of the company, the expertise required, and the profile of the interim manager. According to France Transition, the average gross annual salary of interim managers is between €120,000 and €150,000, with a minimum of €80,000 gross. Each interim manager sets their own daily rate. Procadres' revenue is derived from the markup on these daily rates.
