LES ECHOS PUBLISHES TODAY AN ARTICLE ON GRANT ALEXANDER. 2021 RESULTS AND DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES FOR 2022 ARE ANALYZED AND COMMENTED ON BY HENRI VIDALINC, PRESIDENT OF THE GROUP.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, journalist Antoine Boudet reviews Grant Alexander\u2019s development strategy, focusing in particular on internationalization as well as diversification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HR: Grant Alexander joins the global InterSearch network<\/strong>
Les Echos \u2013 01\/12\/2022<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The multi-specialist HR services group is joining one of the leading international networks in executive search and HR consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not content with posting 19% growth<\/strong> for its 2020\u20132021 fiscal year ending in August, with revenue of \u20ac17.1 million<\/strong>, the French HR consulting and services group Grant Alexander<\/strong> intends to build on its momentum, following the rebound effect after the sharp slowdown at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. International expansion will be one of the drivers of its development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GLOBAL DIMENSION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Grant Alexander will be joining InterSearch<\/strong>, one of the leading international networks for executive search and HR consulting, present in over 50 countries<\/strong>. \u201cWe were missing a global dimension; this alliance will make the difference,\u201d<\/em> comments the group\u2019s President, Henri Vidalinc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Alexander\u2019s internationalization strategy is relatively recent, launched with the opening in March 2021 of its first office on the African continent<\/strong>, in Abidjan, Ivory Coast<\/strong>, to support French companies operating in French-speaking Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In France, the group has five offices<\/strong> in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, and Toulouse, with around forty consultants<\/strong>. The team was strengthened last year, notably with the arrival of Laurent Carcassonne<\/strong>, who now leads the Life Sciences practice<\/strong>, which will be further reinforced in March with the addition of a consultant specialized in the pharmaceutical and laboratory sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSFORMATION<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nearly 50% of Grant Alexander\u2019s business<\/strong> comes from companies (mainly mid-sized firms) in the industrial sector. Most are engaged in ambitious transformation programs. According to a survey conducted by OpinionWay<\/strong> for the firm in Q3 last year, 80% of the mid-sized company executives surveyed expressed optimism<\/strong>. \u201cThere are many projects underway, companies are investing, adapting, and transforming,\u201d<\/em> notes Henri Vidalinc<\/strong>, pointing out the significant number of plant manager positions<\/strong> currently open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its executive search activity<\/strong>, the group\u2019s historic core business, as well as its interim management<\/strong> and consulting divisions<\/strong>, Grant Alexander added a fourth business line<\/strong> last year: supporting companies in organizational and HR transformation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With the acquisition of Role Crafting, which has developed innovative digital tools and collaborative methods, we are seeking to leverage collective intelligence and the team engagement necessary to drive change,”<\/em> emphasizes Henri Vidalinc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
