What 123Jobs does

123Jobs is a Belgian recruitment and staffing agency headquartered in Liège (Sclessin), operating through three wholly-owned legal entities: 123cdi asbl and 123cdi Logistics asbl (non-profit employer groups) and 123Interim SRL (a private limited company providing temporary staffing). Founded in 2014 as Udil.ge to re-employ workers displaced by ArcelorMittal's Liège hot-rolling mill closure, the company was taken private and rebranded as 123Jobs in 2018. It serves two primary customer segments: industrial, logistics, and manufacturing employers in Wallonia (130+ active client companies including ArcelorMittal, Skechers, CPP, Armacell, Somef, and Newelec), and blue-collar to technical job seekers (over 1,100 cumulative placements, with approximately 300 in CDI/CDD roles via the employer group model).

The company's core offering combines standard temporary staffing (intérim) with a distinctive employer groupement d'employeurs model in which workers are hired on CDI/CDD contracts by 123Jobs entities and seconded to member companies, with a stated goal of eventual permanent conversion at the client. Technology infrastructure is light: a job portal (www.123jobs.be), an online candidate application platform (online.123jobs.be) built on the third-party Otys system, automated CV parsing across five document formats, and a structured job-matching engine using predefined occupational and geographic taxonomies. No proprietary AI/ML platform is evident.

Revenue is generated through two streams: a coefficient-based mark-up on salaries for temporary placements (covering social charges and administration) and managed payroll services for employer-group CDI/CDD placements. Pricing is negotiated per client and not publicly disclosed. The company employs 51–100 staff, holds agréments across all Belgian regions (Wallonia, Brussels, Flanders, German-speaking Community), and is described as Belgium's largest employer group.

Revenue model

1. Temporary staffing (intérim) placement fees: 123Jobs places temporary workers (intérimaires) with client companies and charges a mark-up rate on top of the worker's salary. The mark-up covers all social charges, taxes, and administrative costs. The coefficient/rate is negotiated based on job level, mission duration, and number of workers. For interim placements, billing is based on timesheets submitted by the client company, with a minimum of contracted hours.
2. Employer group (CDI/CDD) staffing and payroll services: 123CDI and 123CDI Logistics asbl entities provide workers on CDI or CDD contracts to client companies, functioning as an employer group (groupement d'employeurs). 123Jobs handles all payroll, administrative, and social compliance, billing the client at a coefficient applied to the worker's salary.
