CAP TRANSITION

What CAP TRANSITION does

Cap Transition is a French outplacement and career transition coaching firm organized as a SARL, founded in 2024 by Izya Barrett and Kevin Barrett — both formerly co-founders of Dirigeants & Partenaires, which became a reference outplacement firm in France. Headquartered at the Osélience eco-lieu in Le Bois Dieu–Hermeray near the Rambouillet Forest, the firm serves executives, managers, and team leaders navigating professional transitions, with corporate HR departments (DRH) as a secondary buyer for departing executive outplacement. The company operates as an independent collective of senior coaches, several of whom are former HR Directors from major corporates including Groupe Michelin, Renault, and Adisseo.

The core offering combines individual coaching sessions (delivered in Paris co-working spaces, via video, or at the Osélience eco-location) with group programs including peer companionship groups, competency assessments (Bilans de Compétences) eligible for CPF funding, and four residential two-day workshops. Cap Transition pioneered 'Ecological Outplacement' — an industry-first category integrating environmental and social sustainability themes into career transition coaching, including dedicated workshops on planetary boundaries and ecological Fresques. The service methodology draws on neuroscience-informed tools, Emotional Intelligence, Nonviolent Communication, Imago, NLP, Transactional Analysis, Process Com, DISC, MBTI, Appreciative Inquiry, and Polyvagal Theory. A differentiating ecosystem component is the Executive Connections private LinkedIn network for ongoing community engagement.

The revenue model is professional services revenue with modular, transparent unit pricing. Residential workshops are priced €532-€870 per participant (plus €178-€265 accommodation) depending on client type (individual, TPE, enterprise). Full outplacement programs are bespoke-quoted under a build-your-own configuration model, an industry-first pricing innovation. Qualiopi certification, obtained in February 2025, unlocks public funding (CPF) for eligible activities. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining content marketing (blog, LinkedIn), residential workshops as demand-generation events, and referrals from the Executive Connections network. The firm operates domestically in France (Île-de-France, Yvelines) and discloses no revenue figures.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Right Management (ManpowerGroup): Global outplacement and career transition arm of ManpowerGroup, with a substantial French presence. Directly comparable service offering (executive outplacement, career coaching, Bilan de Compétences) but operates as part of a much larger HR services conglomerate with national reach and brand recognition.
• Lee Hecht Harrison (Korn Ferry): Global outplacement and career transition business owned by Korn Ferry, offering individual and group coaching, networking, and outplacement programs for executives. Directly comparable service design but operates globally with much larger coach bench and brand recognition.

Others

• EMCC France: French branch of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, a professional body that certifies coaches and mentors. Relevant ecosystem player — Cap Transition coach Anne-Sophie Jarrige is affiliated with EMCC — and represents the broader executive coaching community that Cap Transition operates within and draws credibility from.

Direct peers

• 2LE Consulting: French outplacement and career transition consultancy serving executives and managers navigating departures and career redesign. Comparable target segment and service mix, competing in the same French mid-market outplacement category.
• Cadres en Mission: French outplacement and senior management interim mission provider, serving executives transitioning out of corporate roles. Comparable on the senior executive re-employment thesis and DRH buyer, with broader interim-management offerings as an adjacent revenue stream.
• Transition France: French outplacement firm offering individual and group career transition support for executives and managers. Comparable service portfolio, target buyer (DRH and individual executives), and methodology, though positioned as a more traditional incumbent versus Cap Transition's ecological/modular differentiation.
• Avenir Dirigeants: Established French outplacement firm specializing in executive career transition coaching for managers and senior leaders. Closely comparable target customer (cadres dirigeants), service design (individual coaching + workshops), and pricing model, competing for the same HR Director mandates in France.
• Profilae Executive Outplacement: French outplacement firm specialized in senior executive career transitions, offering individual coaching and tailored support for managers and leaders. Directly comparable on buyer (cadres dirigeants), service design, and competitive positioning within France.
• Dirigeants & Partenaires: French outplacement firm co-founded by Kevin and Izya Barrett in 2003 — Cap Transition's direct predecessor. Offers executive career transition coaching for managers and leaders, making it the most directly comparable peer in terms of methodology, client type, and service design, though at much larger scale.

Emerging players

• Randstad RiseSmart: Tech-enabled career transition and outplacement provider owned by Randstad, combining AI-driven job matching with human coaching. Comparable on the career transition coaching thesis but differentiates through technology and analytics rather than the eco-lieu/retreat model Cap Transition emphasizes.
