The Alphéa Conseil recruitment firm in Fontainebleau: A strategic expansion in the Île-de-France region

The opening of the Fontainebleau is in line with the Paris Île-de-France development strategy, which involves opening a minimum of one branch in each département. Local presence is one of Alphéa Conseil's core values, details Jean-François. This development enables us to maintain a service relationship close to the needs of employers and candidates. This geographical proximity is complemented by the expertise of each of the team's consultants, by sector of activity.

For the opening and development of the new agency, Jean-François Lacour trusted Bertrand de Witte. "From the very first meeting, the connection was made, we quickly understood that we were going to create a practice together. It's really a question of personality" explains Jean-François.

The project appealed to Bertrand, hence his arrival in November 2022. Right from the start, he was able to create and develop a substantial business portfolio. "We joined forces to create an extension from Paris to Fontainebleau. This is not just a cabinet director appointment. It's a project in which Bertrand becomes a player in the Île-de-France project, with Jekaterina Noguera, the Parisian practice manager. "

Business expertise and values: the added value of the Alphéa Conseil Paris - Île-de-France network

In addition to entrepreneurial experience and ambition, Bertrand de Witte has quite a background: sales and marketing director in a B2B industrial group, independent headhunter and in large firms; before that he was an educational consultant, project management consultant to SMEs, also a pastry chef and sociologist. "It's true, many passions! I love my job, because recruitment allows me to remain multi-specialized by serving the sectors I love on a daily basis, as varied as industry, distribution, digital, food processing, construction and so on. "

By joining the Alphéa Conseil, more than a brand or a firm, he chose a person: Jean-François. For me, he's " the right person for creating agencies, because he provides the framework and benevolence that allows both the freedom of action I need and the dynamism that characterizes me." At Alphéa Conseil, "shared values" are particularly appealing to Bertrand and Jean-François.

The opportunity to create one's own position is also appreciated. As Bertrand explains, "everyone can build their own development strategy". Today, Bertrand de Witte leads a team of recruiters and enables boldness within a framework of service and benevolence. His team management style? Bertrand answers "I take my inspiration from scouting: observe, find, initiate, serve, respect, grow and pass on."

Job market in Seine-et-Marne: many sectors of activity providing jobs

It was time for Bertrand to build his team to meet the needs of his network and the market. The practice manager can count on his team. "We are three to start with. Noémie Jean has a background in distribution, law and marketing. Fabien De Carvalho has experience as an assistant manager in distribution and logistics."




The Seine-et-Marne branch recruits in all sectors. "In terms of the département and the region, we recruit mainly for industry, logistics, the distribution, export, IT, the finance, with profiles from executives and technicians; many salespeople and managers, CFOs, CRM and digital experts, responsible pharmacists, managers (production, store, after-sales), culinary advisors, site managers, supply chain managers, etc. "

The Fontainebleau works both locally (Melun, Montereau, Évry, Lieusaint, Lognes, Torcy, etc.) and regionally.) as well as in the Île-de-France region, in France and internationally. Bertrand de Witte, a Franco-Belgian, knows no borders and recruits with his team, especially according to their multi-specializations. "Among them, the world of patisserie is a niche in which I've managed to forge a reputation, which leads me to recruit absolutely everywhere. Yesterday, I received a request from Guatemala, and two days ago, I finished recruiting for Germany and Northern Europe."
