French MR Recruiter Launches

Former Toluna exec William Yattah has launched France's first specialist MR recruitment consultancy, Market Research People.

Yattah, who spent more than eight years at Toluna France, latterly as Corporates & Agencies Business Development Director, says the move was prompted by his growing awareness of the lack of good channels linking MR employers and candidates. The new firm will use a network of contacts connected through various professional social networks, including LinkedIn and Viadeo.

MRP will offer to help agencies which have no HR department, or none in France and therefore find it 'difficult and costly in time to recruit', according to Yattah. He is also looking at the possibilities for a partnership with a UK recruitment agency, in in order to help international firms recruit in the French market.
