Aptic Group, which specializes in direct recruitment in the Financial Services and Corporate functions sectors, announces the opening of its capital to Sofiouest, which becomes a minority partner and reference investor in a primary MBO. Joffe & Associés (Océane Christmann, Clémence Bressolin and Clément Peillet) advised the investor in this transaction.
Since 2016, Aptic has specialized “in headhunting for “top and middle-management” profiles and recruitment for the mid-market. Renowned in financial services, it has extended its expertise to large companies and support functions. Thanks to its reputation and the quality of its services, Aptic has grown significantly in recent years, and now employs around 50 people. As part of this growth, Sofiouest is currently investing nearly €5 million in equity and sweet equity, with a minority stake of 40%. Aptic’s team of eight partners, including founder Baptiste Lambert, retains the majority shareholding and invites employees to join them.
This investment will enable the Aptic group to embark on its next phase of growth, providing strategic support for business development and capitalizing on its expertise in ESG issues.
“8 years after its creation, Aptic is embarking on a new stage in its development by welcoming Sofiouest and many of its employees to its capital. I’m delighted to be part of this new phase, always at the service of Aptic’s teams, our customers and our candidates. This arrival puts us in an even stronger position to tackle the strategic challenges impacting our businesses,” says Baptiste Lambert.
