Profil Public

What Profil Public does

Profil Public is a French HR technology company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Toulouse, with a secondary legal address in Montpellier, operating as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS) with registered capital of 141,300 euros. The company builds and operates an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and job board specifically designed for French public sector employers, including town halls (Mairies), communautés de communes, centres de gestion, Offices Publics de l'Habitat (OPH), and universities. Its core technology product, ATS Profil Public, is tailored to public sector HR processes — including native handling of grades, civil service categories, and competition types (concours) — and includes modules for multi-platform job distribution (Profil Public, Emploi territorial, France Travail, Apec, LinkedIn), AI-assisted employer branding (Marque employeur), recruitment management dashboards, SSO via Microsoft Entra, and data reimport from legacy ATS systems.

The platform operates a two-sided marketplace: employers pay for the ATS subscription, while job seekers access listings, CV deposit, and application functionality free of charge. As of the data scrape, 2,219 active job offers are listed, with named employer customers including Mairie de Soyaux, Bordeaux Métropole, Caisse des Dépôts, Ville des Lilas, Roissy Pays de France, Ville de Montigny-le-Bretonneux, Ville de Nogent-sur-Marne, and multiple other collectivités. Distribution combines direct sales with a dedicated advisor, UGAP framework reference (the central French public procurement body), and an inbound content marketing engine comprising the Le média platform, a Saturday newsletter, LinkedIn presence, and research publications (Nos études) covering public sector HR topics. The company has established GTM partnerships with CASDEN Banque Populaire, AAEIRA, and public sector coaching consultants, and is GDPR-compliant with CNIL declaration (number 2127096) and French data hosting via OVH.

The business is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding rounds, 1–10 employees, and founder Sigrid Berger (an administratrice territoriale) serving as Présidente fondatrice. Revenue is generated through employer subscriptions with pricing not publicly disclosed; the candidate side is freemium.
