What Alfa interim does

Alfa Interim (legal entity Alfa BL) is a privately held French regional temporary staffing agency founded in 2008 in Montpellier by brothers Alexis and Fabrice Benain-Liot. The company recruits and places temporary workers (intérimaires) with approximately 250 client companies across the Occitanie region, primarily in the Hérault and Gard departments. It operates three physical agency locations — Montpellier (headquarters), Béziers, and Nîmes (opened in 2023) — and lists job opportunities across 59 cities, covering sectors such as construction (BTP), civil engineering, manufacturing, transport and logistics, engineering, administrative/office work, automotive, and metalwork.

The company's core offering is traditional interim staffing: matching candidates to client assignments, managing payroll and social contributions, and providing ongoing support. Its technology stack is light and entirely third-party: candidate registration and matching run on Armado, a shared portal used across its network; the corporate website is built on WordPress; no proprietary AI, matching algorithms, or data assets are disclosed. Alfa Interim is a member of Réseau Aprime, a federation of 250+ independent French staffing agencies, which gives it distribution reach beyond its own footprint while preserving local autonomy.

Revenue is generated through the standard French temporary staffing model: client companies pay an hourly bill rate that embeds the worker's gross salary plus social charges (including the 10% IFM mission-end indemnity and 10% ICCP paid-leave indemnity), and Alfa retains the spread. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external investors or funding rounds, registered capital stands at €135,000, and the 14-person permanent team is supported by an intérimaire pool of approximately 1,000 workers. The firm achieved Positive Company® CSR certification in 2025 and reports a 91% recommendation rate among its temporary workforce.
