HANDI

What HANDI does

Handi-it is a French sector-specific online job board founded in 2007, dedicated to connecting IT and technology professionals holding RQTH (Reconnaissance de la Qualité de Travailleur Handicapé) status with employers committed to disability inclusion. The platform combines a searchable job listing database with a CV deposit/talent pool service that enables proactive sourcing by the recruitment team, and supports Les Mardis des Talents et de l'Inclusion — over 30 in-person and virtual recruitment events held annually across France for more than a decade. An editorial blog supplements the platform with career advice and disability-employment content. The platform operates exclusively online via handi-it.fr with no mobile app, no public API, and no documented AI/ML capabilities.

Handi-it targets two primary customer segments: IT/Tech job seekers with RQTH status, and IT consulting and technology employers seeking qualified diverse talent pools. Named customers include CGI, Accenture, Randstad Digital, VISEO, Blue Soft, Davidson, Club Med, DEKRA, and PARTOO. The platform currently hosts over 1,000 active job offers and references France Travail (France's public employment service) as a strategic partner for funding mechanisms including CPF (Compte Personnel de Formation) and AIF (Aide Individuelle à la Formation).

Handi-it is operated by JobInLive, its parent company and platform operator, which manages employer relationships and platform operations across a broader network of sibling disability-focused job boards — HandiBanque (banking/finance), HandiEnergie (energy), Handi-Alternance (apprenticeships), Handi-Hôtellerie-Restauration (hospitality), Handistrib (distribution), and MissionHandicap (general). Revenue is generated primarily through employer-funded job posting subscriptions; pricing is not publicly disclosed and employers are directed to contact the JobInLive team for inclusive employer solutions. The company is headquartered in Paris, France, employs approximately 6 people, and operates exclusively in the French market.

Direct peers

• JobInLive: Parent company and direct platform operator of Handi-it. JobInLive runs the employer-side recruitment infrastructure (recruteur.jobinlive.com) and the broader Handi network of sectoral disability job boards, making it the closest operational peer.
• Hanploi: Long-standing French job board dedicated to disability employment, operating across multiple sectors. Direct competitor to Handi-it for the same RQTH candidate pool and inclusive-employer audience.
• Mission Handicap: Sister platform under the JobInLive/Handi network operating as the cross-sector disability job board and event organizer. Highly comparable due to identical employer base and overlapping candidate community.
• HandiBanque: Sister Handi-network job board focused on banking and finance. Operates with the same model, employer base, and JobInLive infrastructure — directly comparable to Handi-it on a vertical basis.

Broad incumbents

• Agefiph: French fund/association managing the OETH disability employment obligation and providing services/resources to disabled workers and inclusive employers. Acts as both a public-sector incumbent and a partner channel for Handi-it's audience.
• Cap Emploi: Public specialized employment agencies in France supporting disabled job seekers, often partnered with France Travail. Comparable because it serves the same RQTH candidate segment with placement and counseling services.
• LinkedIn: Global professional network with growing accessibility features and disability inclusion filters. A broad incumbent that overlaps on IT/Tech candidate-employer matching, though without Handi-it's curated RQTH focus.
• Indeed France: Major horizontal job board with accessibility initiatives in France. Comparable on candidate-employer matching mechanics, though it serves a general audience and lacks Handi-it's curated disability vertical.

Regional players

• APEC: French association for executive and professional employment, focused on managerial/expert roles. Comparable as a French-only specialized employment channel, though serving a different seniority segment.

Emerging players

• Walt Community: French emerging player focused on inclusive employment and disability inclusion in the workplace. Comparable due to its mission alignment with disability employment, though with a broader community/event approach rather than a job-board-first model.
