What Lynx RH does

Lynx RH is a French specialist recruitment company operating as a franchise network under the Alphyr/Mistertemp Group umbrella. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Clichy (near Paris), the company runs 32 branch offices ('cabinets') across France and recruits Bac+2 to Bac+5-level candidates into permanent (CDI), fixed-term (CDD) and temporary (intérim) positions. Its service offering is organized around three practice areas — engineering (R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, lean, quality, HSE), information technology (consulting, development, networks, support, digital) and support functions (sales, marketing, finance, HR, legal, administrative) — with sector-specialized consultants staffing each cabinet.

The technology stack is a web-based, two-sided platform: a public job board at offres.lynx-rh.com listing 1,000+ open positions, a secure candidate space at app.lynx-rh.com for CV management, job alerts and document storage, and direct employer-engagement tools used by branch consultants. The wider Mistertemp Group operates machine-learning algorithms trained on its interim candidate pool to improve candidate-to-mission matching quality; these are disclosed in the group's privacy policy. Supporting infrastructure includes partnerships with FASTT, Action Logement, Intérimaires Santé, FAF.TT, Réunica and Agirc-Arrco, which provide housing, mobility, health, training and pension benefits to interim workers, plus the Club Avantages Lynx RH program offering 80,000+ leisure discounts as a retention lever.

Lynx RH's revenue mechanics are transaction-based: a markup on billable hourly rates for temporary placements (the spread between the client billing rate and the worker's salary), one-time placement fees for permanent and fixed-term hires, and contractual early-buyout penalties (€1,500 per unfulfilled month) when a placed temp is hired permanently ahead of contract. Go-to-market is sales-led through the 32 franchise branches, supplemented by SEO-optimized job listings, candidate testimonials and content marketing on the corporate site. The company serves enterprise clients including Orange, PSA, Crédit Agricole, Foncia, Econocom and Samsung, alongside a long tail of SMEs reached through local franchise relationships.

Revenue model

1. Temporary Staffing (Intérim) Margin: Revenue is generated by marking up the hourly billing rate of temporary workers placed at client companies. The difference between the billable rate to the client and the worker salary constitutes the margin. Specific rates are negotiated per assignment.
2. Permanent Placement (CDI) and Fixed-Term (CDD) Recruitment Fees: Fees charged to client companies for successful placement of candidates in permanent (CDI) or fixed-term (CDD) positions. The CGU notes that in case of early permanent hire of a placed worker, a fee of €1,500 per month of unfulfilled mission will be charged.
