SOS Interim

What SOS Interim does

SOS Intérim is a privately held, family-owned French temporary staffing agency founded in 1967 in Évreux, Normandy, by Paulette Pommier and now led by third-generation President Mélanie Charon. The company operates 14 physical agency branches spanning Calvados, Eure, Eure-et-Loir, Orne, Seine-Maritime, Yvelines, and Somme, and serves more than 1,000 client companies by delegating roughly 9,000 temporary workers annually across six primary verticals: logistics and transport, BTP/construction, industry (manufacturing, aerospace, pharmaceutical, agri-food), tertiary/services, healthcare (EHPADs, hospitals, pharmacies), and events/hospitality. A wholly-owned subsidiary, Pro-RH, provides permanent (CDI) and fixed-term (CDD) executive and professional recruitment, and the Réséo network partnership extends national coverage for clients operating outside Normandy.\n\nRevenue is generated transactionally through two streams: temporary staffing fees (mark-up on delegated worker wages, structured around French statutory IFM of 10% and ICCP of 10% plus underlying social charges and an agency margin, billed monthly) and permanent placement fees via Pro-RH. The go-to-market is field-led through local agency account managers, complemented by inside-sales via online contact forms, a community-led local engagement model, and the third-party vwjob.fr job portal. SOS Intérim operates no proprietary technology platform; AI/ML capabilities are not present, and differentiation rests on physical proximity, systematic in-person candidate interviews, dedicated client account management, regular job site visits, and a family-driven, relationship-based service model.\n\nThe company holds MASE safety certification (continuously since 2005, renewed April 2025), UN Global Compact signatory status since 2008, EcoVadis Gold with a score of 77/100 (top 5%, March 2024), and PAQTE inclusion commitment, and it completed its first carbon footprint assessment in mid-2024. Operational decisions are entirely family-controlled with no private equity, venture, or institutional shareholders disclosed.
