Groupe LIP

What Groupe LIP does

Groupe LIP is a French temporary employment agency network operating since 2004, headquartered in Lyon, France (18 impasse de l'Asphalte, 69007 Lyon). The company runs a network of more than 190 physical staffing agencies across France, supplemented by international locations in Belgium (Charleroi, Courtrai, Mons, Tournai), Luxembourg (Dudelange), and Switzerland (Geneva). Groupe LIP places 9,000+ temporary workers (intérimaires) in positions daily across six specialized sectors: BTP (Construction & Public Works), Hôtellerie & Restauration (Hospitality), Industrie & Nucléaire (Industry & Nuclear), Médical & Santé (Healthcare), Tertiaire/Commerce/Ingénierie (Administrative & Engineering), and Transport & Logistique (Transport & Logistics). Each agency maintains vertical specialization, serving both job seekers and client companies through interim (temporary), CDD (fixed-term), and CDI (permanent) contract types.

The company's technology stack centers on a digital ecosystem layered atop its physical agency network. The LIP Staff mobile application (available on iOS and Android) enables candidates to apply to positions, manage availability, and receive job proposals. A self-service website job board allows filtering by sector, city, profession, and contract type, while a dedicated enterprise portal (entreprises.groupelip.com) supports business clients in submitting staffing requests and managing recruitment across all contract types. The proprietary École de la Réussite training school provides career development programs for temporary workers, and the Mes Avantages LIP portal administers worker benefits including IFM and ICP allowances (10% each).

Groupe LIP generates revenue through transaction-fee based temporary staffing placement services, acting as the employer of record for temporary workers and billing client companies a markup on hourly or daily rates. Pricing is quote-based and varies by sector, job type, and contract duration; it is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, with dedicated enterprise account management through the agency network supplemented by self-service digital acquisition for SMB clients and individual job seekers. The company maintains active social media presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube) and email newsletter marketing alongside its offline agency channel. The firm operates as a privately held entity with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or publicly reported financials.
