Proman Gestion

What Proman Gestion does

PROMAN (Proman Gestion) is a France-headquartered temporary staffing and recruitment agency founded in 1990 and based in Manosque, ranked as France's fifth-largest in its sector (firmographics). The firm provides three primary service lines — temporary employment (intérim), fixed-term contracts (CDD), and permanent placement (CDI) — serving businesses across multiple industries that require flexible workforce solutions. Its customer base is segmented horizontally, with no specific vertical concentration disclosed in the available data.

PROMAN's revenue model is transaction-based: the firm earns fees from placing temporary workers, contract employees, and permanent hires with client companies. The company distributes services through a physical branch network operating in an enterprise field-sales motion; no proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capability, or software-as-a-service offering is disclosed in available sources. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by job type, duration, and client requirements. The firm maintains a dual geographic footprint, with US operations based in Illinois that have grown to 100+ branch locations across 18 states, expanded in part through the March 2023 acquisition of PeopleShare to support a stated 2023 revenue target of $480 million.

The firm is privately held with 251-500 employees disclosed globally and has received historical funding from Crédit Agricole (2007) per the funding-rounds block. While acquisition activity and US multi-state expansion indicate an aggressive growth posture, the relationship between French and US operations, the firm's full internal-versus-placed headcount, and the composition of revenue between intérim, CDD, and CDI services remain opaque from the available data.
