Company Description
Each regional team is guided by a common set of processes and working practices within a robust operational structure to ensure a consistent high quality of delivery which our clients can depend on in any market.
The origin of Aldelia gives a good indication of what the company was meant to be. Cedric Filet, whilst recovering from a rugby injury, established the company from his bedroom. The dream was to set up a recruitment consultancy which would compete with the top 5 Oil & Gas Recruitment Specialists in a matter of 5 years. To achieve that, Cedric focused on a gap he identified in the Oil & Gas industry: local content. Local content had long been considered a pain for international Oil & Gas firms. These firms understood the necessity of developing local content programs but struggled to implement them.
When it came to choose a name, Cedric decided to find a name which would represent the strategic orientation of the company. The Aldelia name finds it origin from the Portuguese "Aldeia” which defines in Brazil people coming from small indigenous communities - tribes.
The strategy paid off quickly with numerous contracts signed with major Oil & Gas companies.
