Strateos

What Strateos does

Strateos is a private IT recruitment firm headquartered in Bordeaux, France, founded in 2017. The company identifies and selects IT professionals — developers, engineers, data analysts, and other technical profiles — on behalf of industrial companies, recruitment agencies, and digital services firms (ESNs), using a structured intake process that delivers first CVs within a maximum of five business days.

The company's core offering is a customized recruitment service underpinned by a Big Data and AI talent-matching pipeline that explores an internal database of candidates, followed by human re-qualification by expert recruiters. Strateos operates as part of Groupe Clad, a network of six complementary entities including two IT training schools (École de Turing and Vortex), a video game school (La Horde), digital services and consulting firms (Programisto and Genly Consulting), and a digital marketing agency (Brumisphère), which collectively feed candidates into Strateos's pipeline and channel client introductions.

Strateos runs a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market model: prospective clients initiate contact through a structured website form, the company defines hiring needs, and placement fees are charged upon successful matching. The firm does not publicly disclose pricing, revenue, or funding. Its customer base includes enterprise clients such as Vinci, Safran, Valeo, Eiffage, Arcadis, Ingerop, Systra, and Colas, and it operates across France within the broader European market.
