I warmly recommend the firm VOLTA EXECUTIVE and in particular Mr Florian BEURTEY, with whom I worked and exchanged extensively in 2025. This resulted in many qualified profiles being put forward and in 6 successful hires in record time. To be continued in 2026 on the same terms!
Alain RougierChairman, ELAURIS Group
★★★★★
Volta is a highly committed partner to Idex. At the start, we tested them successfully on hires in a difficult geographic area where we had been without a solution for several months. Having given satisfaction, we were able to entrust them with more searches and Volta again delivered. They are a partner who takes care upfront to properly understand the client's needs, which is a guarantee of efficiency and candidate selectivity.
Yann VincentDirector of Energy Production Units, IDEX
★★★★★
They understood the need properly. Highly available and genuinely determined to find the candidate who fits the technical criteria and, above all, the company culture.
