Adoc Talent Management

Adoc Talent Management is a recruitment firm that places PhD holders from all disciplines into organizations across Europe and Canada. Founded in 2008, it works with both public stakeholders and private-sector deeptech companies to build R&D capabilities, serving clients from startups to large corporations. The firm describes itself as the first recruitment firm to specialize in PhD holders across all disciplines in these regions.

The firm's work spans several areas: executive search and HR strategy, which connect doctorate graduates with innovative organizations; training and career coaching, which support PhD candidates moving from academia into industry; and the Laboratory of Interdisciplinary studies on the Doctorate (LID), a research activity that studies the doctorate and feeds the firm's expertise and internally developed benchmarks for evaluating scientific expertise.

Adoc operates from offices in France, Canada and Benelux. Its team combines PhD holders from diverse disciplines with HR professionals, a mix intended to allow the firm to speak the language of both candidates and clients. Its client base covers deeptech, the public sector and private-sector research and development.
