Company Description
Upward is a French headhunting and recruitment firm founded in 2013 that partners with organizations and a unique community of high‑potential professionals to accelerate growth and support long‑term career development. Headquartered in Paris with a presence in Nantes, the firm executes searches across France and internationally, focusing on critical hires for startups, SMEs/ETIs, and CAC 40 groups. Its model is based on direct approach and hyperspecialization: 40 recruitment consultants combine deep market expertise with proven headhunting capabilities across 14 practices, including Consulting, Executive, Finance, Investment, Legal, HR, Sales, Marketing, Creative, Data & AI, Digital, IT & Tech, Operations & Engineering, Freelance & Transition, and Carrière. Leveraging a curated network of more than 100,000 high‑level candidates, Upward delivers permanent recruitment, executive search and interim management, and freelance/transition mandates for roles with significant business impact. The firm complements delivery with data‑driven advisory—assessment, talent mapping, job description refinement, workshops, and sector best practices—to help clients sharpen hiring strategies and employer branding. Its cross‑industry footprint is illustrated by trusted collaborations with leaders in luxury and consumer (LVMH, Van Cleef & Arpels, Monoprix, E.Leclerc), technology, media, and digital (Amazon, Ubisoft, Canal+, Cdiscount, ManoMano), industrials and utilities (Safran, Faurecia, Veolia), financial services (BNP Paribas, Allianz), hospitality and professional services (Accor, BCG), and telecom/space (Eutelsat), among others. True to its candidate‑first ethos, Upward was built to elevate the recruitment experience for executives and future leaders, combining meticulous market insight with tailored guidance for each search. The group has continued to strengthen its offering with data‑led services, and in 2025 reinforced its executive search and international reach through an investment in Leaders Trust while expanding its management of transition capability by acquiring CAHRA. Across every mandate, Upward aims to master clients’ métiers, anticipate market shifts, and consistently deliver precise, high‑impact talent solutions.
