SHADES

SHADES is a recruitment and HR advisory firm (cabinet de recrutement) based in Nantes. Its services cover headhunting and candidate sourcing, a tailored assessment process that can include personality tools, work simulations, business cases and psychologist-led assessment, and post-hire support such as integration follow-up and manager coaching.

The firm works with employers that need to fill roles, and it describes its approach as advisory: challenging the client's hiring need and the role's context before sourcing. The website does not state its fee model. It publishes open positions it recruits for, covering areas such as finance, industrial operations, construction, retail, logistics, IT and HR.

The website identifies Nantes as the firm's base and refers to the Nantes Grand Ouest market. It does not state a founding year or headcount. The published job titles include locations in Vendée, Compiègne, La Réunion and Grand Est, which appear to be client sites rather than SHADES offices. The site is in French and links to a LinkedIn company page.
