What Exaris Interim does

Exaris Interim is a Brussels-based social purpose cooperative (SCRL FS) and the only social interim agency in Belgium. Founded in 2006 under the Brussels-Capital Region Economy and Employment contract, it places low-qualified job seekers — primarily 18-30 year-olds without a secondary diploma (CESS) registered with Actiris, and more recently job seekers over 50 via mentorship partners — into temporary assignments across Horeca, retail, food production, logistics, industry, and cleaning. Its core offering is interim staffing placement, supplemented by the B-ready@work collective coaching module and individualized job coaching, with a cited 88.3% permanent-contract conversion rate within one year of an interim assignment and approximately 700+ placements per year.

The cooperative operates a 17-person team out of Boulevard Adolphe Max 22 in Brussels and uses a Wikidrive-based online registration portal for candidate intake, alongside direct phone/email channels for employer outreach. There is no proprietary technology platform; the operating model is service-led, with coaches performing manual motivation screening through individual and collective interviews. The B-ready@work methodology, which combines pre-placement collective coaching with on-assignment individual coaching, is the core differentiator from conventional commercial staffing agencies.

Exaris is owned by three founding partners — Daoust SA (Belgian staffing company), P&V Group (cooperative insurance), and Solant (Belgian family investment company oriented toward SRI/impact investing) — following the 2018 buyout of Actiris's stake by Solant. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on interim placements, with employers receiving pre-screened motivated candidates and no exit fees. The cooperative distributes its services through direct employer outreach and inbound inquiries, together with referral channels via Actiris and ISP (socio-professional integration) institutions, and it holds the Brussels Diversity Label as a regulatory credential.

Revenue model

1. Interim staffing placement fees: Exaris generates revenue through the placement of temporary workers (intérimaires) with client companies. As a social interim agency, it earns fees for matching motivated candidates (who do not hold diplomas) with employers seeking staff. The business operates as a commercial activity within a social economy cooperative structure, with revenue derived from the volume of interim assignments fulfilled and the resulting staffing fees.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Manpower Belgium: Global staffing group with significant Belgian presence in temporary and permanent placement. Comparable on the temporary staffing function for entry-level workers in Brussels, but without Exaris's coaching-led, diploma-agnostic social model.
• Randstad Belgium: Global staffing leader with a large Belgian footprint offering temporary help, permanent placement, and HR solutions across all sectors. Comparable as a Brussels-active interim agency but operates at vastly greater scale and broader scope than Exaris's social interim niche.
• Adecco Belgium: Major multinational staffing firm with extensive Belgian operations providing temporary and permanent placement. Overlaps with Exaris on entry-level and horeca placements but serves a far broader client base without Exaris's social insertion mandate.

Others

• Actiris: Brussels public employment service and former founding shareholder of Exaris. Closely comparable as the main referral pipeline for low-qualified job seekers, but operates as a public agency rather than a commercial staffing firm; a critical ecosystem partner rather than direct competitor.

Regional players

• VDAB: Flemish public employment service with broad placement, training and career coaching services. Comparable on workforce integration and job coaching, but operates in Flanders rather than the Brussels-Capital Region where Exaris is concentrated.
• Le Forem: Walloon public employment service providing placement, training and workforce support across Wallonia. Comparable as a regional PES performing candidate placement and workforce integration functions, but does not compete directly in Brussels.

Emerging players

• Duo for a Job: Belgian non-profit providing mentorship-driven labor market integration for young job seekers with migrant backgrounds. Comparable on the social insertion mission and youth placement outcomes, though operates via mentorship rather than interim placement.
• Mentor Escale: Belgian social enterprise supporting labor market integration of vulnerable groups. Comparable on the social insertion and workforce support mission in Belgium, though smaller in scope and with a different service model than Exaris's interim placement core.

Direct peers

• Daoust SA: One of Exaris's three founding shareholders and Belgium's most established temporary staffing firm. Directly comparable as a Belgian interim agency serving employers across multiple sectors, though Daoust operates at much larger scale and without Exaris's social-purpose mandate.
• Tempo-Team Belgium: Belgian staffing brand within the Randstad group focused on administrative, light industrial and entry-level temporary work. Directly comparable to Exaris in placing candidates without diplomas into entry-level roles across Brussels.
