What Granit RH does

Granit RH is a privately-held French recruitment and executive search consultancy (SAS) headquartered in Lyon at 1 boulevard Marius Vivier Merle, with a second office in Paris (21 rue Henri Rochefort, 75017) and a Lyon operational office at 3 rue de la Barre. The firm operates under SIREN 538 196 056 with a share capital of €7,000 and reports 1-10 employees. It is led by associate director Xavier Simon and targets enterprise clients seeking mid-to-senior commercial, technical and legal profiles across four branded verticals: Legal (lawyers, jurists, and legal professionals in business, corporate, employment, tax and IP law), Services (sales, export, marketing and consulting roles), Industry (R&D, manufacturing, methods, quality, purchasing and supply chain engineers and managers, particularly in packaging, chemicals, biology/pharmacy, plastics, mechanics and automation) and Outplacement (career transition support).

The company's core service offering consists of three lines: Recruitment (combining advertised search and direct-approach executive search with a 4-8 month guarantee period on placements), Organisation (organizational consulting including org-chart design, competency mapping and training plan construction), and Outplacement (personalized career transition support, job search strategy and interview preparation). Delivery is consultant-led: senior consultants manage client relationships, source candidates via direct outreach, CV databases, professional networks and the firm's job board, and run the full selection and integration process. Granit RH monetizes through professional-services fees tied to successful placements and project scope, with no disclosed pricing or subscription model.

The firm operates a referral network of international recruitment partners (Archetype, InHunt, Global Executive Search, Konsultwerk) for cross-border candidate sourcing, particularly into the DACH region. Its marketing footprint is limited: a multilingual corporate website (French/English), a logo wall of reference clients (Lamello, Seiko, BDMV, Fromont, Lexia, Velfor, UC, Selig, Hoya, Parme, Juri, Simon, Oplinel, Kestio, Baxter, UnitedCaps, Lamartine, Exterion Media), LinkedIn and standard job-board presence. No AI/ML capability, proprietary technology platform, funding, acquisitions, or material growth metrics are disclosed.
