STAFFME

What STAFFME does

StaffMe is a French digital staffing marketplace founded in 2016 that connects businesses needing temporary workers and freelancers with job-seeking candidates, primarily students and young professionals. Operating as a 100% digital platform via web (staffme.fr) and native iOS/Android applications, StaffMe runs two integrated sub-brands under the NowJobs corporate umbrella: StaffMe Intérim (licensed temporary staffing agency operated by StaffMe Solutions by Nowjobs) and StaffMe Freelance (freelance marketplace for micro-entrepreneurs operated by StaffMe Freelance by Nowjobs). The company reports 800,000+ candidate profiles and 12,000+ client companies in France, with named enterprise customers including McDonald's France, Monoprix, Sephora, Boulanger, Pierre Marcolini, Quick, and Intermarché. Technology stack includes a proprietary candidate matching algorithm that delivers candidates within an average of 8 hours from mission posting, automated electronic contract generation (Contrats de Mission and Contrats de Prestation de services), timesheet validation, integrated payments via Mangopay, freelancer invoice issuance via a Mandat de Facturation (billing mandate under French tax code articles 242 nonies A-I), and embedded AXA professional liability and prévoyance insurance.

The platform monetizes through transactional fees: a 20% commission on freelance placements (charged on the total Prix global), coefficient-based pricing on interim placements applied to staffer salary plus indemnities, a 5% management fee on bank transfer payments (financing the Aria cash advance service), and conversion/placement fees (8-10% of annual gross salary) when companies directly hire StaffMe-placed workers. A €2,500 penalty applies to platform bypass after the 600-hour commission-free threshold. StaffMe is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Belgian HR services group House of HR (via House of Invest France), sharing back-office services, joint data controllership under GDPR Article 26, and the Société Générale financial guarantee required for French temporary work licensing. Distribution is fully self-serve and PLG-driven with freemium registration (free for both candidates and companies, pay only on mission completion), supplemented by a light inside-sales motion for enterprise accounts and content marketing via gated white papers on sector-specific HR challenges. The company holds 51-100 employees (firmographics), has not raised external capital since its 2018 Series A (~$3.66M from M Capital Partners and Turenne Capital), and operates exclusively in mainland France.

Revenue model

1. Commission on Freelance Contracts: StaffMe charges companies a 20% commission on the total service price (Prix global) for freelance placements. This commission is invoiced separately from the freelancer's service fee and covers platform usage costs. The minimum hourly rate for freelancers is €14.40 HT.
2. Coefficient-based Pricing for Intérim (Temporary Staffing): For interim placements, companies pay a coefficient applied to each mission placement, on top of the staffer's salary and legal indemnities. Pricing varies per mission and is quoted based on client needs. Weekly invoicing with 15-day payment terms.
3. Early Payment / Cash Advance Service Fee: When companies opt for bank transfer payment (instead of immediate card/direct debit), a 5% management fee is added to cover financing costs for the freelancer cash advance service. Deferred payment by bank transfer also carries 10% penalty on overdue invoices.
4. Placement Fee (Direct Hire Conversion): When a company directly hires or contracts a freelancer/intérimaire previously placed through StaffMe, a placement commission is due: 10% of annual gross salary for missions ≤1 month or part-time; 8% for full-time missions between 1–3 months. No commission beyond 600 hours via StaffMe for a given freelancer.
