Cabinet de Recrutement Talent Program

What Cabinet de Recrutement Talent Program does

Cabinet de Recrutement Talent Program is a French executive and management recruitment firm operating under the Fonction:Support group, headquartered in Grenoble. The company specializes in placing top managers (COMEX members), middle managers, and team managers for PME (small and medium enterprises) and ETI (mid-sized enterprises) across France, with a stated base of 500+ clients and operations in eight cities: Bordeaux, Grenoble, Lille, Lyon, Montpellier, Nantes, Paris, and Rennes.

Its core service is end-to-end executive and management search, covering candidate sourcing, structured selection processes, ROI measurement of recruitment engagements, and a differentiated 6-month post-hire onboarding accompaniment that includes coaching, productivity optimization, training, and retention support. The service catalog is organized across two primary modules (Recrutement and Intégration) with sub-products such as Talent Acquisition, Sourcing, Onboarding, Talent Coaching, and Fidélisation, alongside specialized verticals for Top Manager, Middle Manager, Manager d'Équipe, ETI, PME, and Scale-up clients. The underlying operating model is human-consultant-led rather than technology-platform-based, with proprietary value residing in the methodology and integration process rather than in software.

The business model is professional services revenue from recruitment fees, with quote-based, multi-year contracts whose pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm operates a sales-led, direct B2B go-to-market supported by content marketing (expert blog, case studies, HR newsletter), LinkedIn presence, and Calendly-driven appointment booking. Distribution relies on direct field consulting through regional offices. Two affiliate entities — System:Project (digital and project consulting) and Executive:Learning (executive training) — sit within the Fonction:Support group and offer cross-sell potential. The company is privately held with no external investors disclosed.
