What QuinteSens - Développez votre Singularité ! does

QuinteSens (legally TH RECRUT, a SARL with €50,000 registered capital) is a French boutique coaching and outplacement firm founded in 2012 in Lille by Pascaline De Ruyver-Catrice and Manuel Perruchot, with Alexis Roquette joining as co-director in 2014. The firm serves two core practice areas: "QuinteSens Développement," which provides managerial coaching, executive coaching, position-taking coaching, CODIR/COMEX team coaching, and managerial training programs, and "QuinteSens Transition," which delivers individual outplacement, career assessments (bilan de carrière), repatriation support, and retirement preparation. The underlying technology is a proprietary coaching methodology called "Singularité Managériale," an assets-light, human-delivered service framework that combines certified coaching practice with validated psychometric tools (SHAPE, DRIVE, BRAIN, STRONG, MBTI, DISC, PROFEEL RH, 360 assessments) and value-led practices (equicoaching, walking coaching, co-development groups). There is no proprietary software platform, no app, and no AI model; deliverables are time-based professional services delivered by certified coaches.

The firm operates as the coaching division of Groupe RH Batka, a federation of 12 specialized HR companies (including Keyman executive search, KeyWe interim management, KeyEngage employer brand, and Jalan soft-skills training), and benefits from shared client relationships, co-located space, and cross-referrals. QuinteSens generates revenue through quote-based, multi-year professional services contracts priced per engagement rather than per seat; services are delivered directly by senior consultants to enterprise and mid-market buyers across four regional offices (Lille, Paris, Nantes, Lyon). Customers are predominantly large French enterprises spanning retail (Leroy Merlin, Auchan, Adeo, Castorama, 3 Brasseurs, Jules, Nocibe, Vertbaudet, Damart), banking (Crédit Agricole, Banque Populaire, Crédit Mutuel, Cofidis), construction (Bouygues Construction), food/agriculture (Bonduelle, Lesaffre, Tereos), technology (OVHcloud), and public sector (CPAM, SNCF); 270+ active clients have been served, with ~1,500 cumulative individuals accompanied since 2012 and a stated 96% outplacement rebound rate. The go-to-market is sales-led B2B, relying on direct consultant engagement, a long-running Déjeuner RH community event series, content marketing (Eco121 articles, ebook, podcast appearances, LinkedIn), and referrals within the Groupe Batka ecosystem. The company is privately held, has no external funding, and is led by a stable co-founder partnership.
