RH Performances

What RH Performances does

RH Performances is a French HR consulting firm founded in 2005, headquartered in Marcq-en-Baroeul and operating from three offices (Lille, Paris, Lyon). It sells a portfolio of six core professional-services offerings covering the full employee lifecycle: executive recruitment, professional training, individual coaching, team building and seminars, outplacement, and competency assessment via Assessment Center methodology. The firm is privately held, founder-led (Hervé Van Rijn as founder/CEO and Laetitia Barrere as co-founder/CEO), and B Corp certified, positioning itself around social entrepreneurship, transparent pricing, and a stated intent to "break the codes" of traditional HR consulting.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: services are scoped per client, pricing is described as transparent but not published, and the target buyer is the enterprise. No software products, APIs, or proprietary technology platforms are disclosed; delivery is consultant-based across the three regional offices. The company supplements its service revenue with a content and community ecosystem—white papers, podcasts, magazines, an HR blog, and RH Clubs—that functions as top- and mid-funnel engagement for HR practitioners.

Headcount is in the 11–50 range, no external funding, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed, and the firm operates exclusively in France. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and no financial trajectory, headcount trend, or dated strategic milestones beyond the operating footprint and B Corp certification are available in the source data.
