What CooRHea does

CooRHea (legal name: Société Coopérative d'Intérêt Collectif par Actions Simplifiée COORHEA) is a French cooperative temporary work agency founded in 2021 and headquartered at 66 cours Charlemagne, 69002 Lyon. It provides temporary staffing services exclusively to its cooperators — establishments in the Économie Sociale et Solidaire (ESS), particularly social and medico-social institutions — covering employee absences (vacations, training, sick leave), outsourcing of fixed-term contracts (CDD), and HR management support. Operations are delivered through a national network of proximity agencies (confirmed in Lyon, Valence, Le Puy-en-Velay, Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule, Clermont-Ferrand, and Angoulême) staffed with sector-specialist professionals, supplemented by the Hublo mobile application that distributes mission offers to interim workers via a dedicated access code.

The cooperative extends its offering through partnerships with AKTO (training, apprenticeship and professionalization contracts, GPEC territoriale development), FASTT (social support benefits for interim workers), and is a member of the Réseau APOGÉES, a 35-year-old mutualization network specializing in ESS establishments. Revenue is generated through transaction-fee temporary work services (staffing markups) and subscription-style cooperative membership services reserved for member establishments, with specific pricing undisclosed. The business model is relationship-driven: new cooperators join via cooptation through the existing network, and the cooperative is statutarily reserved for its members only. As of the available data, COORHEA employs approximately 49 people and has not disclosed revenue or external funding.
