#REVIENSLEON takes the opportunity of the FRance Digital Day, this emblematic event of the French start-up ecosystem, to share with you some insight into the recent international developments of our start-ups and actions.

French start-ups do recruit the world!

We investigated. And the result is impressive: the #REVIENSLEON* start-ups have massively expanded globally over the past 18 months. Since April 2015 they opened 22 offices abroad, and are now present in 127 markets on 5 continents.

This growth has gone hand in hand with a very strong expansion of teams: 2034 people have been recruited within a year and a half, representing a 39% growth! In this context, a special care has been also given to the recruitment of "Leon" profiles, with 756 international talents joining French start-ups (a 37% share in recent recruitments).

The French start-up ecosystem indeed attracts now talented professionals from all over the world: 62% of #REVIENSLEON candidates applying on reviensleon.com are now non-French talents from 85 different nationalities! A clear proof that the message on the attractiveness of our start-ups has been heard beyond the French communities.

Over the past months, #REVIENSLEON has worked hard to support this movement: our website which highlights competitive career opportunities is now available in English and the support we provide to foreign candidates recollecting in France has been effective since July. In parallel #REVIENSLEON is animating, in partnership with the French Tech Team, a working group on the implementation of a tailored-made helpdesk to facilitate administratively the recruitment of international talents.
