Paris, France \u2013 Signium is proud to announce three new partners in France. The esteemed professionals from Paris-based executive search firms will serve as Managing Partners at Signium France<\/strong><\/a data-aos=\"fade-up\">. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new partners include Pascal Moreau-Luchaire<\/strong><\/a>, Managing Director of PG&C Consulting, Alexandre Trotto<\/strong><\/a>, Director at Hajime RH, and Fran\u00e7ois Barbier<\/strong><\/a data-aos=\"fade-up\">, Founder of FB Consulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timing of this expansion comes at a pivotal moment for business in France, particularly following the Paris Olympics and amid a period of political uncertainty. Francois Barbier comments on the current climate: \u201cFor now, much of France\u2019s economy has slowed down because of the Olympics and politics. It\u2019s hard to predict when the winds of business will blow again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pascal Moreau-Luchaire concurs that French organizations are waiting with bated breath on the election of the next government, before making major executive placement decisions: \u201cWe expect these challenges to persist until the end of the year, but it depends on the government and how quickly economic activities can recover. People will have to invest eventually, but it\u2019s difficult to say when.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the challenges, Alexandre Trotto remains optimistic about the future: \u201cI believe that the hardest season is behind us. Business is flourishing across the world, and it will flourish in France again \u2013 very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

France\u2019s executive search landscape has been relatively quiet in recent years, with organizations taking a cautious approach to recruitment. Barbier notes, \u201cExecutive candidates are making decisions very slowly \u2013 they are reluctant to move or change roles in the current climate. This does affect the executive placement industry as companies become more selective regarding the skills they require.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
