VNH Resources Group

What VNH Resources Group does

VNH Resources Group is a privately-held French recruitment and temporary staffing group headquartered at 42 rue de Châteaudun, 75009 Paris, operating since 1978 (the originating Gitec entity), with the VNH holding structure formalized in 2005 by founder and President Valéry Nello. The group runs four wholly-owned sub-brands — Gitec (generalist staffing across administration, finance, IT, commercial, and engineering), Gitec Medical (medical, paramedical, and pharmaceutical recruitment), Sopratec (industry and construction including metallurgy, plastics, agribusiness, petrochemistry, and engineering trades), and Anov Executive (executive search) — delivered through 11 agency branches across France staffed by 85 sector-specialist consultants.

The business generates revenue primarily through transaction-based fees on two streams: temporary staffing (intérim), where the agency acts as the legal employer and bills the client for placed workers, and direct placement (CDD/CDI) facilitated under the 2005 Borloo law, where the agency matches candidates to clients without an ongoing contractual link. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, negotiated individually by sector, position, and volume. Sales are conducted through a direct agency network targeting French enterprises of all sizes, supplemented by job-fair presence and partnerships with professional organizations.

The group's stated competitive positioning rests on human-scale specialized structures, sector consultant expertise, single point-of-contact service, and curated candidate pools ('viviers de talents') accessed through individual interviews. The technology stack is not disclosed; AI/ML capabilities are not mentioned, and there are no API, SDK, or integration products. Marketing channels are predominantly offline and relationship-based. Operations are entirely France-domestic, with no disclosed international footprint. Other ancillary facts: registered capital of €4,819,500 as an SAS, no external institutional or PE ownership, partnership with FASTT for temporary-worker social benefits, Ecovadis sustainability rating, signature of the 2008 Charte de la diversité, and inclusion in the 2026 LesEchos 'Best Recruitment Firms' ranking with a 5-star rating.

2. Direct Placement (CDD/CDI): Following the Borloo law of 2005, agencies can propose candidates for direct hire without a delegation contract. The agency facilitates the match but has no ongoing contractual link with the placed candidate.
