Volta Executive: 25% of the annual gross package for one role, 23% per role from two similar roles (same function, same level) entrusted together. One-third deposit of the fees at launch, deducted from the final invoice, balance on signature of the job offer. Assignment entrusted on an exclusive basis. On the market, executive search most often sits between 25 and 33% of the package: Volta is at the entry of that range. 3-month replacement guarantee, extendable to 6, and 90-day onboarding follow-up included.

Project directors, site directors and safety or decommissioning experts are in post and do not respond to adverts. Direct search means identifying them, then approaching them in confidence with a reasoned proposition. The client is only named after a first interview.

Yes, across France: production sites, engineering centres and fuel cycle sites. The firm is based in Paris and runs its assignments on site or by video.

At Volta Executive, the shortlist arrives within 10 days and the hire is concluded within 3 weeks by direct search, provided we get a reply within 48 hours and the assignment is exclusive. The executive's notice period then comes on top. For a rare function (project director, safety expert, decommissioning), the mapping of the search ecosystem is simply wider.

Step 1: 1-hour technical scoping session with the future manager and a scorecard. Step 2: mapping of the search ecosystem and confidential direct approach, with no public advert. Step 3: technical and managerial assessment by the founder, a Mines engineer with an EDF background. Step 4: shortlist of 3 to 5 finalists within 10 days, hire within 3 weeks. Step 5: onboarding follow-up through to day 90. 96% success rate over 120 assignments analysed between 2023 and 2025, Volta Executive and previous firms.

Leadership roles and key managers: site director, technical director, project director, safety manager, maintenance manager, radiation protection manager. For an assignment covering several roles, the firm works as a project team with a single point of contact.

Yes. The replacement guarantee is 3 months, extendable to 6 months: if the executive hired leaves the role or the trial period is terminated during this period, the search is relaunched at no new fee. It applies to every assignment.
