What InPole does

Groupe LIP (legal name: LIP vous réussit) is a French temporary staffing and recruitment group founded in 1997 and headquartered in Lyon. The company operates a network of more than 204 specialized agencies across France, with additional offices in Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, organized both by geography and by six vertical sectors: BTP (construction), Industrie & Nucléaire, Médical & Santé, Tertiaire, Commerce & Ingénierie, Transport & Logistique, and Hôtellerie & Restauration. Retained acquired brands include AL Intérim Hagondange and ATI Toulouse, indicating a growth-by-acquisition history in regional staffing.

The group's product surface extends beyond traditional branch-based staffing into proprietary digital tools. These include the LIP Staff mobile application for temporary workers to manage assignments, the MyArmado digital coffer-fort for contractor document management, and L'école de la Réussite, an internal training academy supporting candidate development and retention. Distribution combines physical agency presence with a recruitment website, dedicated employer portal (entreprises.groupelip.com), and active social media presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

The business model is built on temporary staffing placement revenue (Intérim), supplemented by fixed-term (CDD) and permanent (CDI) contracts. The group serves both individual job seekers and corporate clients across SMB and enterprise segments, with no publicly disclosed pricing or fee structure. Groupe LIP operates as a private, independent company with no disclosed parent or institutional ownership.
