TIE-UP

What TIE-UP does

TIE-UP is a French human resources consulting firm founded in 2016 by Charline Keller (President) and Anthony Contat, headquartered at 15 rue Savoie, 69170 Tarare, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The company pioneered part-time HR services (RH à temps partagé) in the Lyon region, offering a shared-time staffing model in which its employees divide their working time across multiple client companies. The company operates with approximately 10 core team members plus a bench of part-time HR professionals, including designated business unit heads for recruitment, RSE, and administration.

TIE-UP's commercial offering is structured around six core service lines: RH à temps partagé (part-time HR management), Recrutement à temps partagé (part-time recruitment), Office Manager à temps partagé (part-time office management), Responsable RSE à temps partagé (part-time CSR management), Conseil RH (HR consulting), and Formation (training, Qualiopi-certified). The company has also extended into DAF/RAF (part-time finance/admin director) services. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is purely people-based professional services delivered on-site at client premises with flexible engagements ranging from a few hours per month to one or two days per week.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees billed hourly, weekly, or monthly with no long-term commitment required. The customer base spans TPE/PME, ETIs, large groups, and associations across the Rhône, Isère, Ain, Loire, Savoie, and Haute-Savoie departments. Lead generation combines content marketing (HR blog, case studies), social media (LinkedIn, Facebook), and institutional partnerships with CCI Lyon Métropole, ANDRH du Rhône, MEDEF Lyon-Rhône, Atelier RH de l'IGS, and Campus René Cassin. TIE-UP is privately held, founder-owned with €20,000 declared share capital, and has not raised institutional funding.
