What MontaiguRH does

MontaiguRH is a French HR-as-a-Service company that outsources core human-resources functions to small and medium-sized enterprises (TPE, PME, ETI) in France. The company bundles digital self-service tooling with a dedicated human HR specialist assigned per client, positioning itself as a hybrid model between pure-play HR SaaS and traditional HR consulting. Its core offering is structured as a per-employee monthly subscription across three tiers — Essentiel (€49/employee/month), Executive (€69), and Premium (€119) — supplemented by add-on packs covering payroll (Pack Paie at €35/employee), HR communications, and on-site intervention services.

The underlying platform combines online document management, eIDAS-compliant electronic signatures, and real-time HR reporting dashboards. Operational scope spans payroll administration, employment-contract drafting, regulatory declarations, and employee lifecycle management, delivered through a single point of contact. The company operates as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) headquartered in Argentré, France, and is part of a group structure that includes MRH-Admin and MRH Audit, the latter providing compliance audit services aligned with EU Directive 2023/970 on pay transparency.

MontaiguRH's go-to-market is SMB-direct, with reported traction of 200+ clients accumulated over three years and no external funding disclosed (share capital of €1,000). The company was founded by Gérald Houzé, who brings approximately 20 years of HR industry experience. Pricing is fully transparent on a per-employee basis, and the firm markets a client ROI simulator citing 92% return within three months. The business model is recurring-revenue subscription plus à la carte add-ons, with cross-sell into the broader MRH group ecosystem.
