ALESSIA

What ALESSIA does

ALESSIA is a French Human Resources consulting firm founded in 1993 (rebranded to its current identity in 2022 from legacy brands Adenine and RPC & Associés), operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of KLB Group since January 31, 2024. The firm is headquartered in Nantes with a second office in Vincennes (Paris region) and serves primarily mid-market and large French enterprises, with adjacent reach into CAC40/SBF120 companies via its parent group. ALESSIA organizes its services around four pillars: Recruitment & Job Dating, Change Management, Assessment & Career Development, and Training & Animation, supplemented by 19+ modular training courses and specialized sub-services including outplacement, CODIR coaching, psychosocial risk prevention (RPS/QVCT), and Prestation de Conseil en Ressources Humaines (PCRH) for smaller businesses.

The firm's underlying technology stack is built on licensed psychometric and assessment instruments rather than proprietary AI systems — notably MBTI certification, PerformanSe Perfecho for soft skills evaluation, STRONG for career orientation, and the firm's own Assessment Center methodology combining role-playing, in-basket exercises, and 360-degree feedback. ALESSIA holds Qualiopi certification (French Ministry of Labour, renewed through July 2027) enabling access to CPF public funding for training and bilan de compétences programs — a regulatory gate in the French vocational training market. The firm also holds EcoVadis 'Entreprise engagée' recognition and is a signatory of the UN Global Compact and Charte de la Diversité.

The business model is professional services delivered through direct consulting engagements with a team of approximately 8 confirmed expert consultants (or up to 24 collaborators per recent communications). Revenue streams include recruitment and talent detection (executive search, job dating), change management consulting (PCRH, outplacement, GEPP), assessment and career evaluation (assessment centers, mobility support, 360° reviews), and training services priced at published rates of €700HT per day for inter-company sessions and €1,400HT for 2-day co-development facilitation training. Distribution combines direct field sales to enterprise clients, an event-driven channel (job dating, NCDR, Village des Recruteurs), a self-serve job board via the website, and a content-led webinar channel (Job Booster, in partnership with HelloWork, delivering 4 free monthly webinars for job seekers). Integration into KLB Group provides structural access to 750 professionals across 6 countries and a significantly larger enterprise client base.
