11 Jun 2025 Alten SA; Bertrandt SAS (mit Bertrandt AG); Expleo France SAS (mit Expleo Group SAS)No-poach agreements: EUR 29.5 million against Alten, Bertrandt and Expleo €29.5m
The Autorité de la concurrence (French Competition Authority) sanctioned two agreements not to poach each other’s staff: between Alten and Ausy (now Randstad Digital) for business managers from 16 November 2007 to 26 September 2016, and between Expleo and Bertrandt from 6 February to 21 September 2018. It fined Alten EUR 24 million, Bertrandt EUR 3.6 million and Expleo EUR 1.9 million; Randstad Digital received full immunity as leniency applicant. By contrast, the authority did not find non-solicitation clauses in partnership contracts or the allegations against Atos to be infringements.
Agreements between competitors not to poach each other’s employees are cartels, even as an informal gentlemen’s agreement.
