Growth Hiring

What Growth Hiring does

Growth Hiring is a Paris-based, founder-led Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and training firm incorporated in 2022 as a French SAS. It helps recruitment agencies, ESNs/staffing firms, and large enterprises transform their sourcing and hiring practices through a portfolio of four interconnected services: (i) RPO engagements where Growth Hiring runs open positions and books qualified candidate interviews weekly into the client calendar; (ii) Audit & Tool Recommendations culminating in a 90-day action plan; (iii) Academy du Sourcing & IA, an eLearning program priced at €2,500 HT per participant with 20-30 hours of video training and an alumni community; and (iv) the Programme d'Accélération Business Recrutement, a 2-6 month intensive coaching program for recruitment firm directors limited to 15 places per month.

The company's technical proposition is built on a documented 6-step methodology (signal identification, candidate sourcing, contact enrichment, multichannel outreach, copywriting, talent pool animation) layered on top of third-party recruitment tooling — primarily LinkedIn Sales Navigator, La Growth Machine and Waalaxy for multichannel automation, Pipedrive for CRM, and community platforms (GitHub, Stack Overflow, Slack, Meetup, alumni networks) for sourcing. Custom AI assistants are configured per sector for tasks such as job description generation, sourcing support, and personalized message drafting; data enrichment and ATS automation are applied across the talent pool animation workflow. No proprietary foundation models or AI patents are disclosed, and AI is positioned as an applied layer on the methodology rather than a research-driven differentiator.

Growth Hiring's go-to-market is sales-led and inbound-driven: Typeform landing pages capture leads, Calendly schedules discovery calls, and enterprise field sales closes multi-year RPO contracts while inside sales handles Academy and Acceleration conversions. The company has trained 850-1,200 recruiters and supported 100+ enterprise engagements across France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, and Canada, and operates a private Slack community of 4,500+ recruitment professionals. Qualiopi certification enables OPCO/CPF public funding for training programs. Revenue is split across managed services (RPO), professional services (audits, team training), and a subscription line (Academy at ~€2,500 HT per participant), with no revenue, funding, or valuation figures disclosed.
