What Alemploi does

AlemploI is a French SCIC (Société Coopérative d'Intérêt Collectif) cooperative headquartered in Schiltigheim, Alsace, that delivers recruitment, training engineering, and socio-professional accompaniment primarily to BTP and Industrie enterprises across the Grand Est region. Its organizational lineage traces to GEIQ BTP 67 in 1994, evolved through INDIBATP (2006) and a 2008 acquisition of ETTI OPTION 2i, and was rebranded as AlemploI in 2013. The cooperative is structured around an unusual tripartite employer-of-record model in which AlemploI is the legal employer of staff placed with member enterprises, offloading nearly all administrative, payroll (DSN), sick-leave, work-accident, partial-unemployment, and disciplinary risk from these members while addressing chronic skilled-labour shortages in métiers en tension. It serves 450+ enterprise members, manages approximately 340 full-time equivalent pathways per year, and supports ~200 alternants annually with a self-reported 84% sustainable-employment exit rate.

The service architecture combines six integrated product lines: GEIQ alternance pathways (6-24 month apprenticeship and professionalisation contracts), Groupement d'Employeurs shared-staff arrangements, ETTI/ETTS temporary staffing (up to 24 months) for insertion-economy assignments, direct recruitment services, training engineering co-financed with OPCO partners, and a dedicated Accompagnement Socio-Pro unit addressing peripheral employment barriers (housing, driving licence, administrative steps). Underlying technology is a standard WordPress website with PHP-based team rendering and Google Analytics; no proprietary AI/ML platform is disclosed. Customer-facing tools include an online job board filtering by 17 French departments, contract type, and sector, plus spontaneous CV submission. Governance is federation-led: the four majority shareholders are UIMM, MEDEF, FFB, and FRTP, alongside ~150 enterprise shareholders and employee-shareholders; distribution flows through these federations plus OPCO2i, Constructys, Pôle Emploi, URSIEA, and training partners (Pôle Formation UIMM, Institut de Soudure, CESI, Arts et Métiers ParisTech).

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The model blends managed-services fees (Groupement d'Employeurs), professional-services fees (GEIQ, recruitment), and temporary-work markups (ETTI/ETTS) on a quote-based, membership-style engagement with multi-year contracts. Pricing is optimized via OPCO/OPCA funding and tripartite contracting rather than published rate cards. Geographic scope is regional (Grand Est plus partial Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), and the cooperative emphasizes durable employment outcomes and member retention over shareholder-return maximization.

Revenue model

1. Groupement d'Employeurs (GE) fees: Member enterprises pay Alemploi to act as the legal employer of staff they share via a not-for-profit employer grouping (association loi 1901). Alemploi recruits, employs, and puts qualified personnel at the disposal of multiple member companies on a shared-time basis (temps plein, temps partiel, seasonal CDD or CDI). Recurring service-based revenue, structurally focused on stability rather than shareholder return.
2. GEIQ formation and qualification contracts: Revenue from designing and managing Groupement d'Employeurs pour l'Insertion et la Qualification (GEIQ) pathways: 6-to-24-month alternance contracts (apprenticeship, professionalisation) financed by OPCO/OPCA, with Alemploi handling recruitment, training engineering, payroll, and accompaniment. Member enterprises pay for placement and accompaniment services; state/region/OPCO cover training costs.
3. Temporary staffing (ETTI / ETTS): ETTI (Entreprise de Travail Temporaire d'Insertion) member of URSIEA and ETTS arms provide temporary labor (mise à disposition up to 24 months) with accompaniment; revenue derives from temporary-work markups over pay and social charges, targeted at insertion candidates (long-term unemployed, youth in difficulty, RSA beneficiaries) for member enterprises with temporary or seasonal needs and public-market insertion clauses.
4. Recruitment service fees: Direct recruitment service for 450+ member enterprises covering ad writing, CV-database search, social-media posting, partner-network exploitation, matching of skills and values, deep needs interview, and worksite visit. Subscription-like fee structure with enterprise membership; Alemploi cites 84% rate of durable employment outcomes.

Broad incumbents

• Manpower France (ManpowerGroup): Large French arm of global staffing giant ManpowerGroup; offers temporary work, recruitment and career management across all sectors.

• Randstad France: French arm of Randstad, one of the world's largest HR services groups; offers temporary staffing, permanent placement, outplacement and inhouse services. Overlaps directly with AlemploI's ETTI/ETTS and recruitment offerings, particularly in BTP and Industrie.
• Adecco France: French operations of global staffing leader Adecco Group; provides temporary staffing, permanent placement and workforce solutions across BTP, Industrie and other sectors. Direct competitor for enterprise recruitment contracts in AlemploI's target verticals.

Emerging players

• Mistertemp' (MisterTemp' Group): France-based digital-native temporary staffing platform with strong tech/UX differentiation; uses a hybrid agency-digital model to place temporary workers including in BTP and Industrie.
