We’ve expanded our operations in Europe

H1 2023 marked the first steps towards our international expansion as we conducted our first engagements in the Netherlands and in Turkey. In H2 2023, we experienced a much higher international demand as we opened the German market. We conducted several engagements there and one in Estonia. We believe, based on our pipeline, that we could generate more than a third of our revenue from Germany next year. 

We’ve launched Talent Atscale again

Resilience is key! And our vision remains unchanged. We want to enable entrepreneurs to build successful companies. Talent Atscale, our executive search subsidiary, failed last year. Launched in June, killed in December. Fortunately, Thomas Nivol crossed our road this summer and agreed to relaunch it, endorsing the role of Managing Director for Talent Atscale. Let’s see what the future holds for us, but we’ve learned from our mistakes; hence, although we’re not underestimating how hard it is to launch a new activity, we know what not to do! That’s a good starting point, right? 

We’ve had a great year!

Following our high YoY growth from 2021 to 2022 (350%), we’ve over-hired in H1 2022, leading us to ultimately downsize our number of full-time employees in H2 2022. In 2023, as planned, we’ve restructured our operations with rationalized marketing spend, a better balance between FTEs and externals, and, most importantly, we’ve built a sustainable new business machine to deliver against our revenue goals. Like for many companies, 2022 was turbulent, but by building the right plans and taking the sometimes tough decisions, 2023 has offered us our best year since the creation of Atscale. Our activity is booming in our domestic market and abroad, and we’re now planning for 2024 with confidence to keep growing our business lines on all fronts.
