PSC ( Pro Services Consulting)

What PSC ( Pro Services Consulting) does

PSC (Pro Services Consulting), operating as Groupe PSC, is a French shared-time employment company (Entreprise de travail à temps partagé, ETTP) founded in 2011 in Lyon by Philippe Bazin and headquartered at 13 Quai du Commerce, Lyon 9ème. The company's core product is the CDI PSC, a permanent contract of employability that recruits workers (including the unemployed, people with disabilities, young people, seniors, and the low-qualified) under a CDI and assigns them to client companies for multi-year missions of up to five years. Approximately 80% of placed profiles are qualified workers (ouvriers) deployed into industrial and logistics roles — production operators, line operators, maintenance technicians, forklift operators, and warehouse staff — with the remainder supporting administrative, HR, commercial, and back-office functions.

The business model is managed-services staffing: PSC operates as the legal employer, earns margin on the difference between salaries paid and billing rates charged to client companies, and bears payroll, training (€5,000-7,000 per employee per year, with 30% of the workforce trained annually and 60% of training hours registered with CNCP), and benefits costs (including family health coverage via Mutuelle Générali and housing support via Action Logement). Go-to-market is direct B2B field sales to industrial and logistics enterprises in France, complemented by a network of physical agencies (9 operational as of April 2019 with 8 more planned in 2019 across Orléans, Tours, and the greater Paris region), the groupepsc-recrute.fr job portal, and the MON CDI® web platform launched nationally in April 2019, which enables job seekers to sign a CDI online — the first such platform in France. The founder also created Synattep, the industry association for shared-time employment companies, and the CDI PSC model is validated by Direccte and the CFDT and CFE-CGC labor unions.

PSC has created more than 1,500-2,000 CDI PSC contracts cumulatively since 2011, with 67-70% of placed workers ultimately hired directly by client companies at the end of their mission. The company is structured as a private SAS with €100,000 of capital, is independently owned by the Bazin family, has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and operates solely in France.

Direct peers

• Walters People: French staffing firm specializing in permanent and temporary placement across accounting, finance, HR, and office support functions. Overlaps with PSC's "Business Support Functions" segment for clerical and administrative placements.
• Groupe CRIT: French-headquartered staffing and HR services group with strong industrial and logistics placement in France. Closest geographic and sector peer to PSC, also serving industrial/logistics employers with flexible workforce solutions.
• Synergie: French staffing firm focused on temporary work, permanent placement, and HR services across industrial, logistics, construction, and tertiary sectors. Direct overlap with PSC on industrial/logistics placements in France.

Broad incumbents

• ADECCO France (PEO / Adecco Flex): Professional employer organization (PEO) arm of Adecco France providing outsourced HR, payroll, and co-employment services — closely mirrors PSC's "tiers employeur" (third-party employer) model of employing workers and assigning them to clients.

Directly comparable to PSC in serving French industrial/logistics employers, but with a vastly larger scale and broader service portfolio rather than a shared-time employment focus.
• Adecco France: Major French staffing group offering temporary work, permanent placement, and HR solutions across industrial, logistics, and professional sectors. Overlaps with PSC's industrial/logistics customer base but operates as a generalist temp agency rather than a CDI-based shared-time employer.
