The roles are based across France and include Head of European Client Relationship Management, European Client Services Lead, as well as Client Service Managers, Buyers and Inventory Controllers.

Commenting on the successful recruitment of the French team, Nicola Bowman, Head of Human Resources at IESA commented: “We are delighted to build upon our existing partnership with The Curve Group, leveraging their recruitment expertise and capabilities to enable us to expand IESA’s footprint, and therefore what we can provide to our own clients across Europe and beyond. The entire recruitment process was managed virtually given the climate at the time, but The Curve Group team handled it with supreme professionalism at all times and were still able to deliver the precise blend of talent we needed to make this new client win a success”.

Kelly York, Chief Operating Officer of The Curve Group, commented: “As IESA’s long standing recruitment partner, we are thrilled to see them make great strides in their strategy, increasing their presence in global markets.
