CLIENT OVERVIEW
Our client is a boutique strategy consulting firm operating in the Business Consulting and Services sector. Headquartered in France, the firm consists of a small, highly specialized team of 2–10 employees dedicated to delivering tailored strategic solutions for clients across diverse industries. As a new entrant in the market, their vision was to combine deep industry expertise with personalized client service to compete against much larger consulting players.
CHALLENGE
At the time of launch, the firm faced a common but pressing challenge for many early-stage companies: they had no internal HR function to oversee talent acquisition or handle the complexity of recruitment. For a business rooted in consulting excellence, success hinged entirely on assembling the right leadership and consulting teams from day one.
Without established recruitment processes, networks, or employer branding in place, the firm needed a partner who could not only find the right people but also understand the strategic DNA of the company they were building. Their goal was ambitious — to quickly hire a core consulting team and a leadership structure that could drive the firm’s market entry and growth in France.
SOLUTION
Avomind stepped in as the firm’s external recruitment arm, offering an end-to-end hiring solution tailored for a high growth, early-stage business. We began by working closely with the founders to map out their immediate and long term talent needs, ensuring every hire would not only have the technical expertise but also the cultural alignment to thrive in a fast-moving boutique environment.
Our process involved:
-
Conducting in-depth role definition workshops with the founders to clarify the skills, experience, and leadership traits essential for each position.
-
Leveraging our global and local networks to identify consultants with strong strategic problem-solving skills and leaders capable of shaping the firm’s consulting culture.
-
Managing the entire recruitment lifecycle, from outreach and candidate engagement to interviews, negotiations, and onboarding — removing the operational burden from the founders entirely.
Within a short time frame, Avomind delivered both the leadership team and the core group of consultants needed to launch operations with impact.
OUTCOME
The firm was able to officially launch with a fully staffed, high-caliber consulting and leadership team, positioning them to compete effectively from day one. With the right people in place, they could focus entirely on business development, client delivery, and brand building — rather than being slowed down by the hiring process.
This talent foundation has since enabled the firm to grow its client portfolio, expand its service offerings, and establish itself as a trusted strategic partner in the French market. What began as a challenge rooted in limited internal resources became a launchpad for sustainable business success.
