YourVoice

What YourVoice does

YourVoice is a privately-held French executive search and talent acquisition firm founded in 2009 by Luc Meuret and headquartered in Paris, with additional regional presence through antenna offices in Bretagne and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The firm specializes in placing senior leaders and experts in organizations whose missions carry a positive societal impact, with primary verticals in healthcare and medical-social establishments, education, research, and social innovation/environment. Its stated differentiator is an 'anti-practices' approach that rejects sector-based sourcing in favor of identifying 'change levers' professionals — innovation managers, transformation directors, designers, and entrepreneurs — whose skills can be translated across sectors.

The firm operates four service lines: Executive Search (retained and project-based headhunting for visionary leaders), Talent Acquisition (broader recruitment for expert and leadership roles), Innovation & Design RH (HR transformation and design thinking consulting), and Coaching & Carrières (career coaching for executives and candidates transitioning into impact-oriented roles). Underlying technology is minimal — the firm uses no proprietary platform, relying instead on consultant-driven candidate identification supported by psychometric testing as part of the assessment process. Distribution is direct: consultants engage client organizations through relationship-based enterprise sales across France, with no disclosed pricing model.

The go-to-market blends enterprise field sales with a content-led community strategy, including an active blog featuring interviews with placed candidates and sector leaders, a job portal for candidates, consultant presence on LinkedIn, and participation in industry events such as the Forum des Associations. The customer base is a mix of large nonprofits and NGOs (FEHAP, Croix Rouge Française, Fondation CHANEL, Institut Curie, Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale), healthcare providers, educational associations, and selected enterprises (Knauf Insulation, Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the firm operates without external venture capital or private equity backing and appears to be entirely founder-owned.

Broad incumbents

• Michael Page (PageGroup): Major international recruitment firm with a strong French presence across functional and sector specializations. While more volume-driven than YourVoice, Michael Page competes for senior talent acquisition mandates in healthcare and education.
• Egon Zehnder: Global executive search and leadership advisory firm with strong presence in France. Egon Zehnder's practice spans healthcare, education, and social impact—directly comparable to YourVoice's vertical focus, though at materially larger scale.
• Korn Ferry: Large global organizational consulting firm with an executive search practice covering healthcare, education, and nonprofit sectors in France. Offers overlapping retained search plus broader HR consulting, creating both competition and potential partnership dynamics.
• Walters People (Robert Walters France): International recruitment firm with French operations covering senior appointments across healthcare, education, and corporate sectors. Competes on mid-to-senior placements and offers broader geographic and sector coverage than YourVoice.
• Hays France: Global recruitment firm with a Paris office covering healthcare, education, and public sector hires. Operates at broader scale but competes on mid-to-senior talent acquisition where YourVoice also engages.
• Heidrick & Struggles: Global executive search firm with a strong Paris office serving healthcare, nonprofit, and education sectors at the C-suite and board level. Operates at significantly larger scale with international reach, but overlaps directly with YourVoice on retained executive search for mission-driven organizations.
• Spencer Stuart: One of the leading global executive search firms with deep expertise in nonprofit, healthcare, and education board recruitment. Spencer Stuart's Paris practice competes directly for the same CEO, Secretary General, and Director-level mandates that YourVoice serves.

Direct peers

• Cabinet Tournier Executive Search: Paris-based executive search boutique serving French organizations. Comparable boutique scale, retained-search methodology, and similar geographic scope, often competing for the same French executive mandates.
• Akteos: French HR consulting firm offering executive search alongside HR transformation, organizational design, and coaching services. Closely mirrors YourVoice's multi-service model—Executive Search combined with HR Innovation and Coaching.
• Approach People (de Kervasdoué): French executive search boutique focused on senior and executive placements across multiple sectors. Similar size profile and retained-search business model, making it the closest size-comparable domestic competitor.
