A little more about its founder...

Born on the French Riviera and with a Master's degree in Business Administration from the ISG Paris global Business School, Philippe SOLERE began his HR career in 2000 in Nice as a headhunter in the executive search consulting firm Alexandre TIC (Adecco group).

He managed placements as well as large-scale projects in various sectors including automotive, banking, electronics, R&D, telecom and transport.

In the following years, Philippe evolved as Head of Communication & Quality Assurance at the Paris head office. He also carried out numerous assignments in southern France as a consultant to key accounts in aeronautics, engineering and IT sectors.

In 2006, he added an international dimension to his career by moving to the United States and Canada, notably as HR Project Director and Recruiter for IT subcontracting firms and staffing agencies.

He focused on outsourcing and global IT recruitment in the Washington D.C. metro area, Las Vegas and Montreal.

Back in France, his experience as HR Manager of an animal health laboratory and Key Account Manager of a cardiology association definitely convinced him of his recruiter’s DNA.

Philippe joined a consulting firm to manage the transition of its Lyon office, its business development and a large-scale recruitment project for the European leader in EHPAD and clinics.

In 2016, he founded Essential HR to offer reliable and innovative recruiting solutions based on the Push&Pull method.

Philippe conceived this unique approach based on his international experience with high-growth companies. He tailored it to local markets.

Essential.^HR stands out as an alternative to traditional consulting firms and agencies.

"In everything, it's the end that is essential."
