Market Description

The French staffing market is one of the most well-developed in the world but is characterized by a stringent legislative environment despite more recent labor market reforms. Temporary agency work has grown steadily over the past 30 years; however, light industrial staffing is the most significant sector, unlike other major staffing markets, while the professional staffing sector is relatively undeveloped. The market is highly consolidated, with the three largest staffing firms having a market share of almost 40% though many smaller and medium-sized staffing firms manage to compete successfully.
